Overview
"..." | |
Lore: | Neo is the silent right-hand woman of Vale's crimeboss, Roman Torchwick. No matter what mission he had for her, she followed his orders without question and is extremely loyal to him. While she is not particularly talkative, her actions and expressions are enough to show what she's thinking. After her boss is killed during the fall of Beacon, Neo is dead set on making whoever was responsible for Roman's death pay and set out on a quest to seek revenge. |
Semblance: Overactive Imagination
Neo's semblance allows her to create physical illusions that can be seen or touched by everyone. Using this, she gives off the illusion of teleporting. In gameplay, her semblance allows her to almost instantaneously move to a different spot in the screen, surprising her opponents by attacking their blindsides.
Playstyle
Neo Politan Neo is an agile character that can apply pressure with her quick attacks and chain each strike into long combos. She is a strong midair fighter and has many attacks that can launch and keep her opponents in the air. Neo can also surprise opponents by teleporting from different sides of the field and attacking blind spots before chaining each attack with another combo.
- Good Cross-ups. Can quickly switch sides on the fly.
- Great at chaining combos midair with some ground attacks capable of launching the opponent to the air.
- Fast attacks that can be looped for longer combos.
- Strong element of surprise when properly utilizing 214a/b/c teleporting moves as attacks can be low, overhead, or a parry.
- Strong Jump Cancel game with extended airtime and extra jumps with Parasol Descent.
- Suspension of Disbelief is a strong grab special that can bypass many attacks like Yang's Burning Gold. It can also act as a combo starter or extender.
- Incredible reset potential including instant overheads, fuzzy loops, teleports from 4 different directions, solo air unblockable routes, and mainly, Suspension of Disbelief
- 236B/C Are great gap closers by themselves being only -4, but they're even better once you know they can low profile most projectiles (And some moves i.e. Mitsuru's Droit, hakumen's 5b... etc)
- Poor assists that sends single projectiles that can easily be destroyed
- Low damage and large damage falloff when long combos are achieved.
- 214 specials take time to cast as the taunt always applies first before the actual attack hits.
- Poor projectiles that have low durability against other attacks or Personas. This also applies for Overactive Devastation to a lesser extent, easily being blocked by Personas.
- Whiffing Suspension of Disbelief will force Neo to stop and sigh, leaving her very vulnerable open to attacks.
- Parasol Descent is a hard move to incorporate as, besides its parry version, its only use is to grant Neo an extra jump as well as to let her descend slowly.
- A lot of Neo's attacks can easily be evaded simply by jumping.
- Low minimum damage on both of her supers and using Suspension of Disbelief as a combo extender is generally a waste of bars.
