GGXRD-R2/Faust

Faust
Defense Modifier: x1.00 Guts Rating: 0 Weight: Medium Stun Resistance: 65 Prejump: Backdash Time 13F / Invul: 1-7F Wakeup (Face Up/Down): / Movement Options Double Jump, 1 Air Dash, Dash Type: Run

Overview

Although Faust's appearance is bizarre, he's a surprisingly fundamental spacing character that uses abusive normals and random items to keep his opponent at bay. Faust also has a command grab (proximity unblockable) and a variety of overheads which, combined with various items, make for a deadly oki(post knockdown) game. Faust has both straight-forward combos and game plan which makes him a strong choice for beginners to pick up, while the focus on fundamentals means he's also difficult to master.

Strengths

• Great range on many normals
• Random items keeps opponent guessing
• Strong mix up with an instant overhead, proximity unblockable, multi-hit jump cancellable low
• Strong pressure with most moves being jump cancellable, huge blockstun on drill kick and corner control using anti-airs and items
• Very strong anti-air and air-to-air attacks
• Invincible 5D combined with YRC
• Weird hitbox
• Has a crawl to low profile

Weaknesses

• Average defense and large hitbox in hitstun means he dies relatively quickly
• Random items lead to inconsistent reward
• Has limited options on defense such as:
• His fastest normal has 6 frames of start up, which is 1 frame more than the average character
• Slow airdash makes it hard to escape the corner and zoning
• Long wake up time
• Longer range attacks suffer lengthy recoveries and many can be low profiled easily
