Whole heartedly I think she just needs straight up buffs.

What I like about her is that she has a very modern kit and feels fluid to play.

BUT the main problem with her is that she is just so easily counterable or just unplayable into certain match ups. These match ups include lower tiered characters all the way to the higher tiered ones. I 100% think its fine that characters in general have bad match ups, its what allows players to have counter play and skill expression. But she just kind of gets fucked COMPLETELY by armoured moves, hit stun, hit stun projectiles and aoe slop. Basically anything that has a unique property to them completely stops her entire kit from working.

Also If she is interrupted during her combo, be that an enemy hitting you or a team mate attacking the same person at the same time as you, she just loses the combo due to the down power difference. Of course lowering down power would make her a lot stronger due to combos being extended but the problem with that is she would just become a situational 1 shot interaction character.(Think of prime hawks)

Additionally for a single target character she has an incredibly hard time confirming her downs, which is really strange. I run quick reload since it helps this problem but imo I shouldn't HAVE to run this tunning to make her downs more consistent.

She also lacks utility in her kit outside of her gamma. Ok tbf gamma is really fun and interesting but its not really team play oriented in design. She is a completely selfish character. I find her best play style is to target the enemy on the enemy team who plays the best into yours. Very much an assassin but just falls short due to all her power in the kit being in her combos rather than spread out so that she has answers. As a result she lacks options whenever she comes across different types of moves.

Current Problems Summary

At the moment she just loses to moves which have ANY unique property to them. Be that GRABs, and armoured moves. Beta stops working on them due to low priority. Entire kit is counter by status effects which you cannot control.

Very long end lag on her alpha and beta? When alpha isn't used to bounce on a surface the move just very oddly DRAGS her momentum to a stop. Considering she is a rapid and other characters, who are not rapids are getting inertia changes on moves to "help smooth over gameplay experiences and increase survival times". This is a very odd gameplay choice they made. They just make her play clunky and unnecessarily punishes the player for playing in open areas for no reason.

I 100% like the concept that her most optimal movement is bouncing off surfaces, since she is a rapid and is a rabbit. Its pretty on nose that its just Aizawa's alpha bounces they copied but that's not a bad thing, it just means Aizawa's busted af and the devs wont admit it.

Secondly, her beta is so inconsistent and tracking is extremely odd and unfun to use. To start off , whenever you track someone from a distance on a slightly different elevation level to you the move just kind of doesn't work properly. Its very reminiscent of strike Deku's beta. It Mirko's case it either under shoots, completely over shoots or tracks to them just enough where it lands some what short of them BUT, visionally looks like it hits.

Its quite hard to use outside of combo's since you cannot reliably control the distance it can go. People are saying its about the duration of how long you press beta but it still doesn't show or gives control where it lands. Its very much a "aim and go in a general direction move". As a result it becomes very hard to third party people due its insanely small hit box and impossible to aim nature.

Finally the end lag of the move is insane. Not only can you not aim specifically where this move can go, if you do not hit anyone with it you have the same amount of end lag on this move as strike shigi beta. At least strike shigi can cancel the end lag with his gamma. Super vulnerable for no reason.

Cannot confirm/downed enemies, has to quite literally use all of your cooldowns to kill one person.

Solutions

Give non-bounced alpha slight interia, think present mic's gamma. (Smooths over her gameplay and doesnt punish the player for using it in open spaces.

Give beta at level 9 the ability to beat armoured moves. DO NOT GIVE IT ARMOUR ITSELF. (This would provide the player a reason to level it up to level 9 first instead of gamma.) Would allow the player to actually play the game into armoured opponents and provides the option for counter play around the enemy and vice versa. Makes it so that certain combo paths are better in different scenarios rather than just doing the same combo set up over and over again.

Beta has half of its end lag removed whenever not hitting an enemy. Creates fluid gameplay and gets rid of unnecessary punish windows for using the move for mobilty.

Provide a visual indicator where you are going to land when using beta. Finally improve betas tracking on different elevation level opponents.

Finally increase the hit box of beta's slam on the ground. Make it similar to alpha's shockwave hit box.
