Hardest Characters To Use?

Magneto
Shuma
Chun
Rocket Raccoon
Viper
Iron man to an extent

Yeah we may have done lol. But I was referring mainly to Zero’s actual general movement, where it’s better for him to move around the screen using raikousen and teleport into buster cancels.

My point with the dropped lightening loops was more to do with me thinking that it’s a fairly difficult maneuver, whereas others have said that it’s simple.

For me its
1.that undead hooker
2.peter parker
3.jill
4.Iron guy
5.dante ( i play controller and you try bold canceling into volcano with no button short cuts)

I play on pad too and bold-cancelling is easy, and I don’t use short-cuts at all. Though it’s funny the guy who told me about bold-cancelling back when Vanilla came out is having issues doing it to this day himself, and I’ve seen other Dante users say they have issues with bold-cancelling so you’re definitely not alone there.

The easiest thing in the world on pad.

i dont even play pad and the one time i used the ps controller cos i couldnt be arsed plugging the stick in i could do my dante BnBs after i remembered which buttons did what. no excuses.

I just bought Shuma… the f***???

yea he’s “different”

As a RR main, I just want to say that RR isn’t a very hard character to use.

His bnb’s are quite easy and he gets away with a lot of bs because of his size. The right assists give him sorta braindead mixups and unblockables too. Yes, the boulder loop is crazy hard but you should be going for unblockable resets and safe mixups with him anyway.

To be honest his low health and his lack of anti-air are the biggest challenges of using him. Messing up gets you killed and you have some BAD matchups to worry about. They definitely make him somewhat difficult to become proficient with against good people, but to be honest people’s unfamiliarity with him will get you past that learning stage in decent time IMO.

This game is getting to the point where everyone gets one-touched anyway and I’m starting to think his health will become a non-factor aside from the meter gained by killing him with meterless combos. Although he can’t one-touch, his resets are strong enough to make up for it. When we RR players get momentum with him, we tend to ride it to victory. That’s at least how it is at my local. “Oh, you blocked Cold Star? gg.”

To me, I’d have to go with Rocket Raccoon or Phoenix Wright.

Now, I also play with Rocket Raccoon from time to time, but his moves are not as straightforward compared to the others. It’s not as simple as ‘ABC Super and Win’ with him, you basically have to familiarize yourself with a lot of his moves and how they work. His C is probably the oddest move I’ve ever seen in a fighting game. Standing shoots down but Crouching shoots up? Trippy (and I mean that quite literally, I always fire the wrong kind when I try to use Ball Bomb.) Really, I find his only straightforward move is his Log Trap. Everything else requires a bit of knowledge to use it practically. I’m also not too fond of him having such low hit stun with his moves…it makes combos pretty easy to drop (especially the timing for M, ARGH!)

As for Phoenix, I’d really only label him as hard because you need to set him up first to be good. Savvy players won’t -let- you have a moment’s peace to gather evidence, especially not Vergil. By default, he’s barely useable. That’s not to say he can’t be good, though, but in fast paced matches…he’ll get reamed.

Theory Viper
Theory Shuma
RR

The hardest character hands down is Strider imo
