It’s not very good against fast pressure, each dash doesn’t cover very much space so you will get hit out of it most of the time. It’s only real application is creating space after a knockdown.
The main reason a real wave dash would be useful is against zoning. GR is free to anyone who can play basic keep away. Having something to help him close the gap would be nice.
i think Ghost rider does well with the correct assist backing him against rush down but anyone that can keep away at all>>>>>him
Ghost Rider is slow, and Lacks the ability to do mix ups on his own, plus his moves start up slow, and his supers dont do very much damage, other than his penance stare which does 400k unscaled. He can fullscreen combo just about anybody though, his standing heavy is probably his best move to start combos, plus both his standing and crouching M can be used to kara the penance stare, and good characters to back him up is dormammu hawkeye or anybody with a GTFO assist
