You have no idea do you, Athena is a hellafide rushdown character in both N and K groove.
compare A-vega to any top-tier…better yet, try and defend against any top tier with vega, it’s to much work for to little damage. That’s why everyone uses Blanka, he’s just better.
P-vega on the other hand is nasty. He has offense and defense as opposed to A groove.
I’m curious to know how athena can be annoying? What is so annoying about her? She seems kinda lacking in the mid-screen game to me. How does any top-tier loose to her?
She doesnt have a whole lot of a mid screen game, her whole game is to be inside.
Everyone knows about df so that really doesnt have to be mentioned. Most people dont think about standing strong though, which is as good as df and is quicker, not to mention comboable. She has good mind games and fireball traps, especially utilizing her teleports, she has a good inside game. She can be played very defensively, her run is fast and good, she has a good AA. Even her dash is good and quick. She has some decent RC’S, solid air game and even has a crossup with jumping short, which is something I didnt think she had for awhile. She does have increadibly low stamina though, and gets hurt easily and she doesnt do a great deal of damage. Not to mention dont even let Athena trap you in a corner with an N Groove Athena, especially if there stocks are full, which is something else she can do, fill stocks.
I say the same about Dan.
Which is why I dont like her. If I were to pick a forgotten underdog, I’d go with Dan or Rock. Those damn sissies!
Sorry that was jumping foward for the crossup not short.
Anyways just because she has low stamina doesnt necessarily mean she is a bad character. Cammy, Chun Li and Sakura all have low stamina but are definetly not considered bad characters.
ratio 4 k sagat! :evil:
Dang. That would suck. Thats confidence as well. I’ve never really seen anyone use a ratio-4 in a serious match.
Anyway, the term Psycological isn’t limited to annoyance. Watching 3/4 of health slip away isn’t exactly motivating. that’s why I’d use C-Chun,Geese, and Sagat. Thats intimediation. There is no substitute for a really solid, mobile Chun-Li w/ Lv.2 canceling. Of course combo’s alone don’t make a good player, but it sure is depressing if you land that crap from cross-over. The whole team’s really solid. That can be a psychological threat in itself.
I’m not fat, I’m just a scrub.
