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/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

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

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

Items

General Item Notes:

Each item's recovery refers to when you are able to throw another.
New to Rev 2, some items have Jackpot versions, which are generally more powerful and have different properties than their normal versions. Whenever you would throw the normal version, it has a small chance of being the Jackpot version instead.

   |description=*All versions are punishable, all have lengthy startup, and all can be avoided or blocked by jumping forward and holding back in the air. Front hits in front, Behind crosses them up, and Above tracks them and hits overhead. Where the moves really excel lies in the fact that you can YRC them before or after the teleport. This lets you teleport next to your opponent anywhere on screen and react to whatever they are doing for a punish. The moves are still gimmicky as hell though, so use them infrequently to maintain the surprise factor.

 *Going My Way(H) is what you'll usually be pressing for combos. It can catch them when they try to jump towards your pogo, But don't count on it. It's horrible on block to boot.
 *What Could This Be?(D) is a handy and incredibly fast way to get items out while on pogo. If you are on pogo and there isn't an item out, it could be a good time to throw, but you might want to have the meter to YRC it first too.
