Well most of the characters I hate, I don’t just hate for aesthetic reasons (though a few of them I do).
But I can tell you I fucking loathe grappler characters that have frame advantage or a free combo after a command throw.
Makoto, May, Iori, Delga. God I hate that shit so much.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate throws. And I don’t particularly hate grapplers like Hugo or Alex either so it’s not really command throws that I hate either. What I really fucking hate is the fact that it’s hit-confirm into super off a 50/50, where guessing wrong in either case = owned.
I mean, these characters I’m talking about, like Makoto, have retardedly huge pokes that have insanely good priority, good pressure, good rushdown, etc.
If you get hit or block anything they are either going to block/cmd throw/melee – If block but you eat the command throw you’re eating a super. If you attack or jump and eat the melee you’re eating a super. If you reversal when they block you eat a super.
And if they guess wrong NO SUPER COMES OUT so nothing is fucking wasted. BULLSHIT. It’s all safe guesses. And if you guess right and jump or reversal all you fucking get is a knockdown which doesn’t guarantee anything afterwards. Real grappler characters with real grapple supers have to risk their fucking bar to try and land their super (like Hugo gigas).
And then there’s Iori who can goddamn roll cancel his command throw. What the fuck kind of bullshit is that. If you do anything that doesn’t take you off the ground you’re eating a command throw into custom/super, and if you try jumping you could eat c.short c.short rekkas/super. Fuck that shit.
It’s like flipping a coin any time you get hit or block. Only heads is like a billion times better than tails because heads gets super and tails gets squat.
And don’t give me that “don’t get grabbed” bullshit. Both players are trying their best to hit the other guy while not getting hit in the process. Only MY character doesn’t get 50/50 into hitconfirm super on both options off anything. If I throw I get throw damage and jack shit else, wheeeeee.
