No, he doesn’t necessarily need charge partitioning to be effective.
Some of his more damaging juggles and meterless combos require it, but besides that? No. That’s like saying “Alex and Urien need charge partitioning to win”. It’s completely optional.
When playing a crappy character, it’s always in your best interest to try to learn everything they have to maximize thier potential.
he does absolutely need partitioning to be effective.
to win do you need it, no.
think about it this way. at any moment if you’re able to do either flash or lov you’re much more dangerous and unpredictable than the guy who can only do those in certain spots.
it doesn’t have to do with combos. it has to do with threatening space. if you can hold your ground or dash as you want and still lov and flash at will, you’re threatening a much much larger area than if you aren’t. and the more area you ‘cover’ by showing you can do so, the less options the opponent feels they have. you really can’t do that nearly as well if you can’t partition.
Remy is my main and he is not trash. Learn him and you will see.
Yes you need to partition. Half the fun of Remy is partition setups and unexpected flashkicks!
