The cool anime guy with the sword

Yeah... I main Marth ^^;

I'm so tired of this bot

Either the baddest guy or the biggest guy. Generally I want strong neutral buttons and solid pressure

Playstyle and speed. I don't want someone too fast but also not molasses slow, and easy combos. I play pokemon trainer in smash.

Pick who I like the most visually (usually the girls that mix cool and cute well).
Pick who I like out of those based on who feels most natural to me (typically high mobility + zoners)

I just pick randomly and hope it clicks, eventually it led to me maining Devo in jojoban, the most complex character in the game, so I guess long and ego stroking combos.

Yes. I'm also a bit inteligent, nihillistic and with a whicked sense of humour

GENKI
GIRLS

I typically like characters that have some level of weird mechanics that I have to think about. Hakan in USF4, Venom in GG, Nappa in dbfz, Ice Climbers/Ken in smash are good examples. I would love Juri but shes overshadowed for me in sf4 and not as fun in sfv

Nappa requires you to build around him a little more than some other characters, but typically you want 1 assist that will let you get a saibamen plant in blockstring and 1 that will help you in neutral, bonus points if either help combos. You basically have to play a more careful neutral than much of the cast and hope for either a hard callout with 5H or j.5S (which is plus a million on block) or just tag him in with a stronger neutral character gets the hit first.

As for offense, your goal is get them to the corner and start party time. Basic level is get arm breaker knockdown into plant, but nowadays everyone is doing plants in combo and letting the saiba explosion reset them

Your best resource will be checking out twitter or the Nappa discord, since his combo routes are pretty irregular

>start with designs I like
>go to move sets from there
>pick whoever’s move set I like the most
and this for women

Pretty much nailed it. I've labbed out a good bit of Nappa and he's gotten cool things in most patches to the point where if you know what you're doing he's scary. I have a bunch of webms lying around of when I labbed him with the underrated Zamasu/Gotenks shell, but they were a few patches ago.

I've bounced around from Cell/Nappa/Vegeta, Nappa/Broly/Cell, Nappa/Broly/Base goku (maximum fun), and now I'm on kid buu/Nappa/trunks which I think is pretty strong. Trunks seems to be getting more attention now, but I haven't played anymore since May

>Maybe when they reduce the recovery on her trap
They really can't do this. If they do, she will have unblockables (since they hit low, the recovery atm is just enough for that if they roll on wakeup and you place a trap, you can't hit them with a meaty overhead.)

I have around 100 games with her, and I honestly think shes really strong. You just need to make sure to pressure them when they block a trap since you have significant advantage.Can't win with just zoning as her, not enough damage and her normals are too stubby.

>Is any shell with gotenks underrated?
Zamasu's is in the sense that Gotenks alone turns Zamasu into a Top-Tier character. I don't have webms of it specifically, but if you press S and Gotenks Assist at the same time, canceling into 236L xx S (Flight Cancel), you will always get the Donut to combo, and thus Zamasu gets incredible full hitconfirms from any stray hit. On top of that, SKD Dragon Rush gave him an amazing Meaty setup with orbs that Gotenks can give him consistently because of how easy it is to confirm into DR off of said Flight Cancel. I only have old webms because somebody made them for me in /dbfzg/ last year (although pic related is still a solid example). To this day I think Zamasu/Gotenks with a good solid anchor like SS Goku or Tien is super underrated, and I get mad that SonicFox only does basic bitch shit with Zamasu because he's too good to need the nasty shit.

My actual main team right now is Broly/Jiren/GTku though. That little fuck enables most of what Broly & Jiren want, and at the very least Alioune has documented how good Broly & Jiren are together. Finally a viable team of muscle boys even if I have kid in the back. If Super Broly has a beam assist then I'm all-in on Team Beef. I've also put a lot of time into Tien & Cooler but could never really get them going with the shells I wanted.

I DID however find a neat trick that lets you use Cooler's Level 1 from a Z Change without side switching though.

Attached: ZG orb string.webm (1000x562, 2.92M)

Oh, and I completely forgot to mention that I still play Zamasu/Jiren/Gotenks on the side because I have all that tech and Jiren's assist & damage are really useful for Zamasu.

>Jiren
FUCK I forgot he was in this game, yeah I tried him with Broly and Nappa too, but since the tracking on Nappas assist was nerfed it felt kinda hard/less workable in neutral. He's fun tho, and Broly is siiiick

Ah yeah that makes sense, gotenks can do a similar thing for Broly and let him get 5ssss+assist, giant throw and combo to slow level 3 from anywhere. Didnt zamasu get big damage buffs too?

Honestly, my whole team is based on a meme mixup. All I live for is saiba spit or explosion restand -> z change into trunks level 3 to kill. I cant tell if its fucking stupid or fucking smart, but I haven't played enough since I labbed it to actually pull it off lol

The closer they are to something like Big Band, Maxima (KOF), or Abigail in terms of playstyle, the better. That's about as concise as I can say it. If nobody like that exists or clicks with me, I fall back on rekka characters or zoners that juggle 3 or 4 different tools.

It all falls back on trying to make up for mediocre execution.

Their design and how fun they look to play. Big bodies and grapplers are fun as well.

Attached: AmusedInsecureIguana.webm (600x336, 2.11M)

Zamasu got a blanket buff to all his normals in one patch, and benefited greatly from the roster-wide buff to downwards j.2H buttons. Jiren's insane corner carry also helps Zamasu a lot, same with Broly; getting that raw tag from j.S just outside the corner and finishing the combo into a setup with Zamasu or Broly is really good, especially since even meterless Jiren is doing good damage.

I play the characters with best close combat skills so I can beat my adversary to a bloody mess.

That's not uncommon at all though

I know but with RAAM and Kryll it's fucking scarier.

When playing seriously, the speediest rushdown character. Otherwise, the hottest one

I pick the most broken (top tier + easy) moe character.

Moveset looks cool
Character looks cool
Character's attitude is either nonchalant&intimidating or overtly villainous
If the character happens to be a girl, I hope there's a redhead option in the alternate palettes

1. Hot teenage girl with long hair
2. Hot MILF with long hair

I usually have two requirements.

1. Female and cute
2. High execution

Tier lists and how friendly the character is to shitters and pros. I'll then work in a waifu as a secondary

the most top tiet character that fits my playstyle

Hiring new people I guess. It's really up to Microsoft to okay another game.

What is a fraudulent players? Is it because they are not good?

I don't have any consistent rule. I usually gravitate to cute girls in anime games and thought I hated zoners but I ended up maining Sagat because he's so COOL.

FIrst find a character that is visually unique.
If I like their moveset and playstyle I stick with them

Really I just like characters with overwhelming pressure. I prefer speedy in your face with no room to breathe types but I'll take drowning you in touhou tier hitboxes too.

Just a friendly reminder in case ppl have forgotten: Wagner is completely honest, she has no mixup that is unreactable, no looping setplay, no command grabs, and if you got hit it is your fault and your fault alone for being conditioned and i outplayed you in every and any way.

I play a few different characters (preferably, all of them) and play the ones I like the best. I'll probably eventually get around to playing all of them, since I bought the game and it would be silly not to, but I'll gravitate towards the characters who I like playing the most.

Besides, you learn how characters fight and how to counter them by actually playing the characters and recognizing their weaknesses, not by looking at frame data charts.

Aesthetically I tend to identify with male characters who aren't the main protagonist, and have a bit of an oddball style or a personality I find funny. I like when their motives are seemingly out of step with the rest of the cast. They're just "doing there own thing" and happened to wander into a fighting tournament. It also helps if they have a nuanced playstyle that relies on one or two unique gimmicks.

My first "main" was Guile. I use Kyoshiro in Samsho. Captain Ginyu in DBFZ, Lars in Tekken, Falco in Smash and Kensou in the early KOF games before they ruined his design and turned him into a 90 pound femboy.

Why can I never stick with fighting games for long? I usually get bored within a month or two

Character design and/or moveset.

>Are they fun to play?
Simple as that. It's why I've always played as Blanka in SF and Kuma in Tekken.

Whoever piques my interest which usually fucks me over. To this day I cannot play arakune and he's the only character I like in BlazBlue other than taokaka

I pick the characters that i think are the coolest, AND they must have an almost guaranteed chance of being in future games of the franchise.
So many new characters in these games get cut. I dont want to ever have to beg for my characters to come back
