The "Picking a Main" thread

[farranpoison]

I should have been Nu. I hate playing as AND against tager.

Oh, and before it gets out of hand, posters in this thread should only either describe a character (mostly seriously), or edit someone's list. Commenting on who should main who should be kept to a minimum here, if at all. I don't think we want people asking/discussing who they should main here, since this thread is trying to prevent that.

adding

• if you love DP's
• and you can deal with few mix-up options (espesicially overheads)

adding even more (to my own)
using projectiles without feeling: useless at melee range, and average health, and not feel like a zoning freak
then is your man
EDIT: holy crap I just realized this is a new forum... yeah I'm that slow

Was wondering about that CT v CS thing, myself. If it's CT, though....

If you like...

• Ridiculously fast overheads
• Incredibly safe mixup options (arguably only with a pumpkin out) and lengthy pressure strings
• Being able to combo into super from nearly anything
• The ability to come back from a losing game and win in a single combo (100 meter 9k combo from 5a)
• Zoning most characters
• Multi-tasking (wind meter, frog/pumpkin/pole placement)
• Gothloli vampires
• Awesome and snobbish fat cats

....

if you want to Win
be a tier whore
hated by all other players
play

on a serious note:
if you want insane mix up and pressure thats only limited by your imagination
lots of health and hits hard
combos off almost any random poke
want to be a bad ass ninja
or just want to activate Fur Rin Ka Zan and turn into a Super Ninja

play

To pick your main, just choose random a lot.

Let's see, he has 4 lows and 2 overheads on the ground. (2B, 3C, 2D, 6C/6B, GH)
Never mind the fact that his overheads can be seen a mile away, and you're left with 4 lows, two unsafe on block/whiff (2D/6C). That's 2 lows you can safely use.
Let's just say that if your opponent has good defense, your best bet for something to catch them off guard without going into risky territory is a 5A/2A tick throw or a surprise 3C (throw it in a random blockstring).
