I’ve got this question. It’s burning a hole in the side of my head, so let’s have fun answering it with a poll.
Reading the Subreddit, Twitch chats, YouTube comments and of course threads in this lovely forum, it seems to me the vast majority of us have at least one character that makes us groan “ohhhhhh dammit” when we see them on the VS screen. We don’t necessarily think they’re OP (but we might). Moreso, the character’s playstyle just stresses us the hell out. We feel like we have to devote every last cognitive resource at our disposal to the fight, if we’re to stand a chance at winning. Which character below fits that description best, for you?
Answer choices are based on common opinions I read in qualitative form all the time.
NOTE: Eyedol is not listed, because everyone knows he’s broken and en route to patches as of 21 August 2016.
There’s an issue with the max number of choices being fewer than the number of characters in the cast. Figured it would be easier to manage if I just include the characters whose names seem to come up in conversation all the time and add a “mine’s not listed” to capture the surprises.
If it turns out that “not listed, here” is a big portion of the responses, I’ll run a round two with some other choices based on feedback I expect to get in this comment section. Maybe some of those people were looking for Hisako or Omen
Rash and Glacius. Rash because he’s all over the ■■■■ place (plus that stupid wrecking ball) and Glacius because of his freaking shatter + hail (and don’t get me started when he combines it with instinct puddle punch).
On topic: It depends on the character I’m playing. Eyedol is kinda the odd man out right now, but a good zoner can usually put me in a tizzy.
Though I’ve always kinda despised fighting Jago. His toolset is really good, and a proper good Jago is frightening.
I feel you, there. Lately, I’ve been going up against both insane Jagos and insane Hisakos. I thought I knew how to beat those two characters until this week.
Jago players always seem the most likely to triple ultra and tea bag/taunt upon winning also, which has definitely tainted the character for me as Captain Yolo Mc-Easy-To-Pick-Up, yet still they act like douche-canoes upon winning. I used to like him in KI1, now it’s a case of over exposure to the character plus people acting like bum hats online with said character. >_<
Too many jagos on the dance floor! It was always SAD-ira for me, i never liked the spider c*** but now that i’m playing gargos she’s become a joke to me.
You can do 3 ultras with jago? I think you have him mixed up shago, since lately all the shagos I’ve fought teabag and taunt the whole match and should they win they’ll ultra and drag it out for as long as possible.
Eh, might not be 3, might be 2 with a tonne of crap inbetween but it’s as many hits as possible. (In my opinion, any Ultra online that exceeds 5 hits is too many, you wanna waste time, go do it on the CPU) Shagos are annoying in their own right, but I see less and less of those online these days, it’s definitely Jagos spammed at me in a seemingly endless and endlessly arrogant stream.
I don’t mind ultras, the only time I do mind them is if we are in exhibition and we’re 20 matches in and every match he wins its 3 ultras. Lately I’ve only fought very few jagos and they didn’t ultra and the few shagos I’ve fought only two beat me and it was douchebag central.
