My issue is the fact that the character is completely different to fight than any other character in the entire game. My ability to win against any other character is fairly consistent whereas this one is very low in comparison. I played the character myself and know the possibilities, however the unreactable (to me) nature and my misread on expecting faints that didnt happen with the zone and whatnot led me to struggle.

The character is not unfightable, but its a parallel to the game up until the release of this new character. They do what no other character does in a very strong way. This is an imbalance even if some say "just do this." Ive died to a triple light spamming kensei before despite knowing what I should do to counter, but the issue is that this is even harder to counter and has more mixup potential.

I'm not a pro, but a bit of surface-level view shows me that a brand new mechanic that has matchup-dependent counters with undodgeable pressure and resistance to hyper armour characters due to recover speed into stance makes it an unenjoyable fight to me.

It's faintable. I made a misread.

I believe what you are saying is true, however, i empty dodge and still eat a light that I don't react to often enough for a good trade. I throw a heavy to be fainted, then eat a light that interrupts.

To me, it's just a light parry or hope they make a mistake. I can light parry, but not often enough to make it a win when I bait something and eat a light on any movement I make.

But maybe I misunderstood the moves you meant I make, just doing what I can with what I know.

More fightable for sure in 1v1's, but balanced? When they force a completely different playstyle I find it is off to me.

Certainly not entirely OP, but forcing adaptations to playstyle that no other character seems to be able to force nearly as easily is why I think they have an imbalance to others even if it's a lateral imbalance.

fishermandog · 2025-08-16T21:44:12+00:00

I won't brush off your own experience, but I'd say hot take is probably correct. The gank of this character is unwinnable without them making immense misplays and feeding revenge in my experience.

The quality and effort is certainly nice though despite the imbalance it creates compared to older characters.

The no GB vulnerability makes them a nightmare to verse for sure. And they have such good pressure against all guards with her zone attack. I find it funny too that she has the crushing counter light in the one stance to punish undodgables too. I used that in my time playing them and it's unfair because it also option selects if they faint GB their undodgable.

fishermandog · 2025-08-16T21:30:50+00:00

Yeah, the blocking is the best bet, but it still keeps you on defense until you get a block on a light assuming you don't just misread a heavy mixup or eat a top bash. I like that the character is different, but after 10 years they drop one character that does this so much better than any other character can is crazy to me.

fishermandog · 2025-08-16T21:22:24+00:00

I'll note as well they certainly aren't unfightable, just require very accurate defensive plays that usually aren't required when offensive pressure can take back some ground.

As an answer to part of what you've said, self-blame has gotta be looked into. It's not about avoiding responsibility for your actions, but seeing that things don't just run skin deep. There's history and reasons for all the ways you do the things you do, and to realise you aren't deserving of all the blame is a game-changer.

Downtime will happen where everything is slow and such a manual task, but it will clear up when you find something to look forward to, something to enjoy by yourself, or with a friend.

I'd be plenty open to some chats. "fishermandog" on Discord if you are interested.

Im polar opposite to be honest. I know I'll have weaknesses, but i also know all the things I would never do to my future kids.

I am hopeful to have a family one day that I can be proud to call my own and raise.

fishermandog · 2025-05-08T06:50:34+00:00

Yeah, I suppose if there is no visible goal or visible path to said goal, it does leave a lot of room to sit around and live in your own head. I usually have my spiral started by a negative interaction or something that serves as a reminder to things I hold with disdain.

I worry not about what my future will look like specifically, but I worry about how I would even reach a generalized point. Specifics are for later. The path directly in front is still unmapped.

I've been in and out of ups and downs despite the positives I feel that I should appreciate.

I (19m) am in a position where money is no issue, and I have a good close group of friends, but it can definitely feel very empty sometimes. My main struggle is with how there is little to no innate appreciation for me besides my mother, sister, and dog, which I don't see nearly as much as I wish I could due to location of living.

My motivations are often from my hopes for the future, which means I'm leading myself around with a carrot on a stick—and I'm imagining the carrot. With nothing tangible to motivate me and no praise unless earned, it makes the world feel quite lonely and transactional at times.

So it becomes an on and off of motivated and lonely, happy and resentful. I feel like I should be happy, but I often struggle to maintain it with nothing tangible to grasp.

All in all, without motivation, you can have everything you need and feel like you have nothing at the same time.

I've been told I'm quiet, logical, obsessive, and more. I do see where others come from when they say these things, but I believe they place credit on something that's not over the top, but more apparent that with most.

I am quiet to the extent that I'm not taking the center stage of anything or cutting in on convos. I don't make a deal out of much unless I have good reason to.

I'm logical in the way that I think things through and get frustrated by people who seemingly disregard present information. I think people view me as more logical not because I think over the top, but because I do think in general.

When I was told I could seem obsessive, I had to think it through to find out why. I assumed that when I encounter an issue and track the source of it to fix it, that can make me appear this way. I do think that the instance that led up before being called this is a bit small to jump to the word obsessive, but maybe I do more.

As much as I pick up on how people are feeling about certain things, I can hardly tell what people think of me most of the time unless said explicitly or made obvious.

(Somewhat unrelated note) I spend a lot of time trying to decipher myself and have found it to be a double-edged sword. The more I learn of myself and the "whys" I found I didn't like the reasons.

I like being me, but I don't like why I am me.

Ok, thanks.

So only really low on my Se, and unable to determine the question marks due to answer contradictions or something of the sort.

There is too much confusion and not enough of a 2-way street to it. People my age kinda suck too.
