      Peak character designs honestly, they provide such depth and intricacy compared to any other character in the game

    I despise how much damage Slayer does. Beyond that, he's turbo cool.

      Yeah, I think he should either have insane mixups or insane damage, not fuckin BOTH??!??! It’s like fighting Millia with Potemkin damage at the moment, it’s just not fun.

    Don't forget that there is so much tech out for Slayer already even after just a couple days!
    He's got
    1. Pilebunker loops,
    2. jump cancel Kara special moves (like Johnny),and
    3. His oki is phenomenal.

      And he has the OTG close slash crossup based on timing, just as a lil gimmick that I feel like even good players are gonna get hit by.

    • @SQuirrel147
      @SQuirrel147  2 місяці тому +2

      I'm curious if Slayer will go up or down long term. He has tech to be discovered still but he also might end up being "simple" enough that more counter tech develops. Time will tell!

    as a chipp player i think its impossible for slayer to not be a good character and i am only a little bit biased by my choice of character.
    pilebunker loops are so sick and also so scary, and i think any character with those kinda conversions has a lot of staying power from style alone.

    • @The_Blazelighter
      @The_Blazelighter 2 місяці тому +2

      Slayer makes the rest of the cast feel like Chipp, and makes Chipp feel like a corpse

    Arc Sys: We need to be careful with Potemkin and grapplers in general, because it's not fun to have a slow character with a lot of health deal big damage on 50/50s.
    Also Arc Sys: SURROUNDED, BY PRECIOUS THINGS, THE HEART TURNS INTO STONE! HARDLY THE STUFF OF BEDTIME STORIES, A HAPPY END IS JUST A SNAPSHOT IN TIME! LIFE IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION! ENJOY THE RIDE, WITH UPS AND DOWNS!

    If you do some pilebunker loops of any kind, wait alittle and you can get close s oki and reset while building back a bar

    @qspec2002 2 місяці тому +18

    My biggest complaint is just how "accidentally" good so many of his moves are. I've been anti-aired by Bunker, c.S, f.S, 2P, and the list goes on.

    Pretty sure the zoners will maybe keep at bay for a bit but def a top 10 character worthy. Only question I have is his super faster then RC or am I I timing it wrong before it hits ?

    Slayer looks great, is fun to pilot, and fits in with the cast/plays strive well.
    He also is awful to fight, abuses positive bonus incredibly well, massive oopsie potential, and has some of the most belligerent tools in the cast.
    I don't mind his inclusion but I'm hugely tired of the current direction of strive, as far as turbo-linear, hard RPS-heavy style characters and looping resource trumps off of the first stray hit.
