What's good guys? I just got into this game 2 weeks after a break from fgs after FR. It's pretty fun. I'm comfortable and functional in now. Though my lack of experience or exposure has me not knowing matchups until I play them or glance at a few vids. I only really consider myself playing casually because I don't have too much time to put into gaming anymore at the moment, though I entered 1 tourney a week ago and I'll support local and surrounding shit as long as I'm free. I mained Sektor in MK9 so naturally I ran MMH in this. But I found my way to Lobo who's more of my style of character as a grappler/brawler archetype. Also my track record of underplayed characters.
And I've heard all the stuff about he's low tier or even that he sucks. I won't claim to know better, as technically, I'm a "scrub" to this game. But many I:GAU players are new to fgs or even playing their first fg themselves with this. As such, they do not possess solid fg fundamentals or mindgames outside of what is specific or known for this. And they can do combos.
Soo......I find myself doing particularly well with Lobo gimmicks and just simple fundamentals. A character who is slept on due to popular hate. Dudes who use top tiers laughing when I pick him but are later heated after they catch L's. I know how tierlists work and from what I see, other characters do have it easier and are better equipped for fuckery in certain regards. But dude hits like a tank. Now against a great player, it may be a hellish uphill battle. But against the majority of dudes in this scene, you may just have to keep it simple and pick your spots. Dude has the damage when he touches you. It's already understood. And IF they do patch him, I hope that it's just minor subtle changes, mostly just to his trait or something. Make it cancelable maybe? And give him viable wakeup options. Hook charge is a good move. I wanted it to be overhead before I thought about how boss that'd be. It has what, like 1 hit of armor? Hmm....maybe 2-3 hits of armor and make it a wakeup option. And personally I love using divebomb(not air to air though). That having 1 hit of armor would make my day. I really don't give a crap about anything else. If they make b+2,1 any faster I'm going to push alot of people's shit in. Low shotgun with trait is eh unless close...but b+1 is a great quick low already with the mini combo starter.

Anyway, that was my long ass intro and soapbox. Sorry yo. I don't want to come across as a newbie who thinks he knows too much without any experience. True enough, I'm raw as fuck to this. But I'm a vet to competitive fgs. I've never liked online for fgs but I'd love to maybe play with some guys on here to get more comfortable and see the prototypical style of play for Lobo. I'm unorthodox and gimmicky in every fg though so I just want to pull pieces from what I see. I only really like this game if I'm playing with Lobo. Fuck the haters lol.
