Top 5 best neutral games

Fair enough. I hadn’t thought about her backdash or throw range or crLP. Mostly was considering her anti airs being tough and having blind spots and floaty jump. Her crouching hurtbox did get expanted, EX Mallet Smasher is -5F now and only EX DP is projectile invincible AFAIK, not the greatest anti projectile move. Didn’t realize her B+HK was also throw invincible, thought it was only low + airborne after a short time but yeah it’s throw invincible after 5F.

How has Gen not been mentioned once?!

How are you forgetting

“RHINO HOOOOORN”

Fullscreen EX Fuck you for thinking you could walk forward/throw a fireball/use a forward shifting move/neutral jump

Although I will say that if you can bait it out and crouch the move whiffs for an easy punish

Thanks, I don’t fight many Elenas or really see them often period. Totally forgot it’s projectile invincible lol. Most of the time I see em they just slide under fireballs.

Where do ya’ll think Poison and Boxer fit in?

Pretty high up there. Poison was better of course pre-1.04 and Balrog has some issues but is still a damn fine threat in neutral.

Off-topic but nice sig, yo

Lol thanks. I actually made that prediction in December of 2013, well before all that shit with the digital distribution and Galactus went down. I’ve been in Mahvel rehab for over 9 months now, and I feel better than ever! Looking back, I’m not even sure what is “fun” about that train wreck. I really should get a new sig since I’ve long since moved to other games, but I just can’t think of anything cool.[/details]

You also forgot: It breaks armor too, so you can’t focus any version of it.

And I love how, despite being explicitly designed to have a strong neutral, no one feels Sim, Gouken, Sagat, or Ryu could be considered top 5 in that respect. Really speaks volumes about how unimpressive those characters are, when you think about it.
