Hey guys,
I was thinking about giving Deejay a temporary rest to work on my overall fundamentals, since I only jumped into SF4 at Super, and went straight for Deejay.
I’d like to pick up a second character mostly to give me a more complete education and make me play parts of the game I don’t use a lot as a Deejay player. Here’s a vague attribute list off the top of my head I’d like the character to have:
- Motion character
- FADC-able DP
- Good dashes
- Good focus attack
It would also be cool if the character sort of covered Deejay’s bad match-ups, but that would just be a bonus.
Looking at the character selection, here are the ones that fit the criteria (I think):
Who seem interesting to me:
Adon - A non-fireball character who is strong against fireball chars is interesting. Two cool ultras.
Cammy - Flavour of month. Footsie and pressure based.
Fei Long - Interesting character because of strong offensive pressure on the ground, overhead and command grab to open people up.
Ken - Step kick pressure with kara throws is interesting. I hear you have all day to decide whether you want to FADC fierce DP. Kind of like a non-fireball character because they seem so bad.
Not that interested in but I think meet the criteria:
Ryu - Seems kind of obvious but I think I’d learn more if I purposefully go with a non-fireball char. Also too many Ryu players
Seth - Having everything is interesting. Never played a char with a command throw. Low health is worrying though
Akuma - Too many Akumas here. I’d rather not go full vortex.
Dan - Practically a non-fireball char.
Sakura - Not really interesting for me.
Sagat - Very zoning
Evil Ryu - I don’t really know. Seems fun enough
Who do you guys think I should pick up?
