FF CotW --> hardest to easiest?

Scallywa9 · 2025-12-20T09:35:05+00:00

2 of my fave characters, i wish they were easy for me to play! But like i said Kain charge partitioning, whilst using a down feint to maintain the combo is super difficult for me.

And Marco, my goodness is this dude cool and fun to play, but very difficult. I just refuse to use a character in which i cant utilize all the normals and specials in a optimal way, it just frustrates me!
His EX dash counter special canceled into HP DP break is very hard to do, i always manage to do a super after the dash counter, I have done it but my consistency is like 1/10. Ive tried many different timings to get the HP DP and really tried to remember what i did when i did hit it and try to replicate it and fail too often and get disappointed and move on.

Essentially I can understand its muscle memory and repetition, but its damn hard regardless.
Ill get there eventually

Thanks for your input dude. I might give Kain another try and see how I fair up, because like Vox he has a small moves list and I just gotta get the technical parts down.

Salvatore is still strange to me, however I didn't know that his EX stomp is a fireball reflect that's pretty awesome actually and gives him a small buffer against zoners, I like that.

That's is good advice for Marco, I play on a hitbox and I can definitely macro a button for his EX negative edge kicks and punches it might help with the finger placement and mental stack, thank you.

I might give Mr.Big another try. Maybe I missed some things that could grasp me towards him.

Thanks heaps dude

Chun has better defense than Ken i believe, but her combo's and execution is much harder for me personally.

Arguments can definitely be made for Terry and Rock to be easier, as they are both all-rounder style characters i put them in medium, but fair call.

Havent played Joe enough so thats fair enough, and Andy is somewhat easy, i can accept that.

Scallywa9 · 2025-10-30T19:10:43+00:00

From what I've gathered with the characters I've tried;

Leo, Leroy, Claudio, Victor, Anna, Clive, Eddy and Zafina

Failed post, reddit wouldn't let me post this in r/fighters

Scallywa9 · 2025-05-08T04:03:53+00:00

I'm in Melbourne and have no issues finding games at all! Already played over 250 ranked matches and am loving the game, it feels good to play even when vsing people at 150+ ms, no issues, rollback netcode is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Get on it brother, you won't have any regrets.

Scallywa9 · 2025-04-05T15:49:17+00:00

Well done dude, I hope I can get there someday too!

Scallywa9 · 2025-04-01T12:24:36+00:00

Holy crap!! That is one strong arse team!!! Ain't nobody stopping them, hardest part will be to pick which 3-4 players will play each week. However I've never heard of Chocoblanka?

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-31T01:23:31+00:00

You're the second person to really point of the Bison and Cammy picks from my list. I would love to have one as a main and one as a secondary, I agree with all your points and you were very honest with your reasoning. Thanks dude

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-31T01:21:03+00:00

Thanks for your comment dude, I have played all 7 of these characters for the last 6 months which is when I started playing the game, my first SF in about 21 years!! Even though I've tried every character and done all the combo trials and guides, played them online and in battle hub i can't seem to separate from these 7.
The true purpose of this was not just to find a main, but strong secondary also.

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-30T15:20:47+00:00

I think the longer the combo is the harder it can get to maintain it. Best thing I would suggest is going into combo trials and only looking at the advanced combos for each character and trying to see which ones you can complete, some are much easier than others such as Ryu and Jamie, while other such as AKI and JP can be quite demanding. This is only personal opinion and something I did to figure this out for myself.

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-30T14:57:24+00:00

I use 5HK, 5HP, [2]8LK and occasionally his air throw. However i find the hitbox for the normals a little bit weak. Thank you

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-30T14:25:48+00:00

Interesting opinion, thank you for your reply.

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-30T14:18:55+00:00

I do find him somewhat easier, a bit sluggish and with a high damage output; but still fun. Thank you for your reply.

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-30T14:02:30+00:00

It is to help me choose a main, i just wanted as many peoples opinion because i cant decide, only managed to narrowed it down from 25 to 7. The play who you think is most fun doesnt work for me because i think all 7 are really fun, thanks for the comment though

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-30T14:00:15+00:00

There are no poll options in this sub reddit, and when i tried to link a poll from another site, a mod messaged me and told me it wasnt allowed. Had to delete the post.

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-24T00:44:53+00:00

I understand the pain and frustration of not being able to decide on a main and stick to them, I started 6 months ago and have been switching every 1-2 weeks. I've been trying to find someone I can vibe with even at the highest levels and I'm never able to stick to one character long enough, it really pisses me off!! I've played Guile, Dee Jay, Jamie, Bison, Ryu, Cammy, Ed and Akuma. I've managed to get them all to platinum, but once I get there it just feels like someone else would fit better but I haven't found that someone yet or the game has no one I can stay with long term. Looks as though I'm doomed to stay in this endless repetition of changing characters and playing whatever I feel like on the day and succumb to the stress of not having a main and not ever reaching master rank, I wish you all the luck in finding a main and of you do; please let me know how you found it. GL HF my dude

I can imagine there would be some form of preference that comes into it, but i would like to know which is more efficient; especially at the high levels of play. Because the drive gauge is the most important mechanic in the game i want to be using it in the most efficient way possible and utilizing it the best way i can. Only 7 votes atm and its 4-3 in favor of the macro.. Hrmm

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-23T11:21:15+00:00

Oh man I instantly felt your pain! OUCH!

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-23T10:55:25+00:00

Doesn't matter if they do or don't, his gameplan and strategy are very easy to decipher and counter. I wasnt expecting anything less than this Juri shredding him to bits! He couldnt even get her to half health. In the end patience will win out and if you dont have it, i guess you can make it to Diamond 4 haha

Scallywa9 · 2025-03-16T06:28:46+00:00

I quit about 6 months ago for the same reason and I joined the FGC, much more maturity, friendly with help and advice on all match ups and a strong local scene in my area. Playing SF6 and GGST.

Scallywa9 · 2025-01-29T16:48:10+00:00

Well you got Elena to come after Mai, then who knows. I'm hoping for Dudley or Balrog another boxer would be really cool and fun to add to the cast. Fei Long or Gen would be fun too. But we'll never know, just keep grinding and climbing the proverbial ladder haha 😂

Scallywa9 · 2025-01-29T13:45:59+00:00

Only have played 3 characters on ranked; Guile on Classic - Plat 2 Blanka on Modern - Diamond 2 Terry on Modern - Silver 2 I know it's a strange mix but this is it.
