Slayer - Invincibility, great damage, easy to use.
Eddie - Insane pressure, damage and just plain sick, hard to use though.
Faust - Easy to use, great poking and damage.
Millia - INSANE pressure, good damage.
Sol - Insane damage, good pressure, sick priority.
Bridget - Nice poking + damage.
Axl - Amazing poking/counter game.
Johnny - Good combos, damage, and all around solid.
I-No - Insane damage, great mix-up.
Baiken - Excellent tools for most situations, takes lots of damage.
Potemkin - Slow, very vulnerable to poking/pressure, amazing damage, defense, easy to use.
Venom - Has a setup for most situations, nice poking, really hard to use.
Ky - Good mix-up, decent damage, nice poking.
Dizzy - Slow startup, but has nice keep-away and hard to evade traps.
Jam - Good damage, hard to use, weak defense.
Testament - Decent traps/damage, not to good anywhere else.
Chipp - Great speed, sucks in every other category.
Anji - Butterfly trap and auto-guard, decent damage.
May - Uhhh…pretty shitty…
Zappa - Has to rely on randomness. Raou is godly though.
Three Ghosts is his best non-Raou summon, great offense and keepaway. But nothing really beats the sheer intimidation and power of Raou. His only real flaw is that you can’t get him out very often; if Zappa had regular access to Raou the way he did for his other summons, he’d be scary.
Just a response to a comment made before about Ky fireball vs Johnny:
Couldn’t Johnny Divine Transport > Divine Blade FRC or just straight DT FRC into combo to punish or at least get in on Ky when Ky shoots a Stun Edge?
Transport + Divine Blade would require you to anticipate the fireball; you couldn’t do it on reaction. If you did, you might still dodge the fireball, but Ky could knock you out of the transport easily.
#1 Slayer hes not hard to use but hes ockward hes got his own weird style hella damage invincible bite is way too good now that i been messing with him i can see him being way too good dash cancel air throw is a great anti air if that fails dash cancel jump into air combo.
he has a infinite the invincible bite makes it close to imposible to play wake up games vs him throw out the wrong thing gg u lost.
#2 faust - faust is really simple and super damaging/strong u can play him turtle or rush either way works a simple faust can still be a bitch crazy good faust like Deuce/Elven shadow watch out =O!!
#3 millia - get knocked down once you die! great mixups okay damage she takes horrible damage though if she cant get in she losses.
#4 eddie - hard to use but hes got all the tools to make it happen awesome pressure way too good command grab he can fly!
Eh, sorry, slayer isnt easy to use. The invencible bite wake up is alot harder to do that it looks. And if you mess up you eat a combo for free.
Also, pressure at mid screen with no level is pretty hard to do with him as well. You have invin-moch punch, dash cancel jump, dash cancel throw. All of which, with the exception of invin-moch punch are pretty difficult to use properly.
He is also very suseptable to traps. Even if you can invin bite on wake up consistantly, all a Millia would have to do is a well distanced 236+slash, you would be forced to either block it, get hit or back dash. They can hit you out of recovery frames from your backdash. And if you decide to dash cancle jump out of it they can throw you on reaction. Testement, Eddy, May, and Faust can do things similar. Not only this, but against seasoned players who know how to play slayer they can just not let you be grounded and keep making you recover in the air somewhere where you are vulnerable.
His invincible bite wake up doesnt make him easy to use. His damage proficiancy just fools you. There are simple ways around it. I play slayer as a main also.
So i’m guessing you guys don’t rank the secret characters huh? none the less, i think your list sounds about right. slayer is really good. never seen a good faust though. i would have thought jam would have been ranked a little higher though. her new super is pretty good. her charge takes forever now though and her counter is different to do. i wish they didn’t do that though. i used to love to just counter my oppenents supers constantly. not like you can’t still do it, but it was easier doing it qcb+slash. anwway, yea… slayer, jam, eddie and testament are the characters i like using.(in no order)
one word : nothing
thats what you can do against justice’s cheap ass!
he can air dash so fast and even jab a million times. he has a shit load of range. all his moves do great damage.
