Anytime I'm trying to win at a fighting game I've never played i pick the biggest grappler-lookin' one.
Pritzker
Gruesome Newsom has that medium-punch-plus-forward 2-hit headbutt attack that you can combo into either his electric shock ability (spam any punch button) or face-bite hold (forward-plus-strong-punch, then spam strong punch), and his basic moveset gives pretty decent control of the playing field. Unfortunately, his lack of projectile attacks and the fact that his roll attacks cause you to take double damage if your opponent smacks you out of them, plus his overall abysmal speed, means that he's favored by by beginners but is usually quickly abandoned by more experienced players who lament his lack of adaptability against more versatile opponents, like AOC and her AIPAC fireball spam.
What's the frame data for AOCs fireball on block and what's the period between fireballs? Can she have 2+ on screen at a time?
She's only supposed to be able to have one on screen at a time, but she fires them off so fast that you can quickly find yourself pinned down in the corner if you try to block them all. And if you try to jump in closer, half the time she hits you with a light or medium Zionist Dragon Punch.
I always try to find whoever the most reminds me of either that Chinese girl from Tekken, the kangaroo or King. I used to be able to kick ass as Paul though
I'm really bad at 3d fighters so I'm going for a bear if it's tekken and big sword if it's soul calibur
In mortal Kombat X I loved picking either the drunken boxing guy or the lady who had so massive bazongas they'd swivel when she sidestepped. This would distract my dad enough to let me beat him easily
Dads vs Bazongas is a baaaaad matchup for dad
Easiest meta ever. I remember when I would be staying at his place and he'd be having poker nights with his friends. I'd get to stay up late and I'd hang out on the PS2 in the living room, and whenever someone needed a break from poker or they were out of the game for a long round or something, they'd come play with me. Bazongas was a pretty top tier strat. But nothing beat the feeling of picking that tiny chinese woman in Tekken and then just juggling with their characters until they died.
