I’ve been playing a lot of ibuki, but I am looking for a character that is some what aggressive (good mix ups) and is really good at controlling space/tempo of the game. Any suggestions?
Cammy would be my first choice, I play her and she’s really dominant once you get in, but you gotta train your opponent not to mash DP. From characters I don’t play, it seems like Dudley never stops pressing buttons, does whatever the hell he wants. Gouken can play aggressive and zoning, but his zoning game is better than his rushdown. Grapplers excell at controlling tempo, but i don’t know if that’s what you are looking for.
Cammy, Ken, Akuma, Guy, Yun, Yang, Juri, Rolento and Decapre all fulfill pretty much all of those categories, so you might want to look into those. Cody as well, to some extent. Bison has great space control and safe pressure, but his mix-ups are kind of limited.
I’d say stay with ibuki, she can contol space with her kunai pretty well, and I’d say she has some of the best mixup. She’s also one if the most aggressive characters, once you get in, One hard knockdown with ibuki can win you the round with her vortex. With that said you have to know how to utilize her mixup and tools to be really scary with her.
Controlling space and aggression are practically polar opposites. Controlling space limits your opponent’s ability to get in on you while aggression tries penetrate space and cause big damage once in. If you are looking for a character that does both, you are going to have to give up something, usually that is life and or ease of playstyle. The most well rounded character that I believe zones and mixes up is viper. She has decent zoning, decent life, decent mixups with execution being off the charts. If you can’t handle her execution, Seth is a good next, but he really ends up being an all or nothing character where you get to mixup/kill your opponent in dominating fashion or you just die.
Abel, Oni, Bison, Zangief, T Hawk, Seth, Cammy, and Guy are all about controlling tempo. Not all of these characters need to be played aggressively, but all of them can be.
Basically this
Unless you can pick a woman PMS’ing hard, than you have your aggressive and space controller character
May I suggest Fei Long? He’s quite aggressive, but not in the sense that he’ll murder you in two combos. He controls space really well, and when he gets you to the corner he rapes you. He’s pretty easy to use too
This question is a bit misguided. The ability to control space and the ability to mount an aggression define the strength of characters themselves. If you want a character who can both control space and be aggressive, simply look at the top of the tier list.
The ability to both control space with dominance, and rush down with dominance is nearly a prerequisite for a character to land itself among the top tiers in any game.
In a few exceptions in each game, you’ll find a top tier (or some top tiers) whose rushdown is so strong that they don’t need defense to beat every character, or the opposite. This is generally the exception rather than the rule.
Well everyone is always going to at least think Cammy. You could also try out Decapre if you don’t mind constantly charging.
