Starfire will be a top tier zone control character

[Crimson Panther]

Walk speed & backdashes should be increased, playing footsies is a lot more rewarding in Inj2 than MKX but it still needs improvement.

Are you talking about in general or Starfire?

Ya know, its kinda amazing how many people dont know that.

I do know that, but also know I can eat a Superman MB laser that way too

In general.

She doesn't seem like a true zoner -- more of a hybrid space control character. She may still have to get in on the real zoners to play her game against them.

But it seems like she has a good tool for every range, which would make her frustrating to play against in the hands of a good player

Look at my twitter. She can trade wth high shot high shot. Or beat high shot to riffle from full screen. She has tools to compete with deadshot.

So, was I right about this? At least from the way I see people playing Starfire so far (and from the early MU discussion), I think I might have been correct

That's why you crouch block and immediately stand block on reaction to the sweeping laser. Not hard, even online. Stand blocking is a good way to get chipped to death from straight laser.
