==Overview==
==Overview==
Although Faust's appearance is bizzare, 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.

*Jump cancellable, and knockback/wall-stick on counter hit

*Faust's most notorious poke gets even longer in Xrd. Has a long recovery, so watch for jumping and make sure it tags your opponent. Some characters can low profile or 6p it. Despite this, f.S is an absolute staple in Faust's arsenal. Cancelling max range f.S into item throw is a great way to get Faust's game started.

New to Xrd, Faust can also hit items he throws out for a home-run (knocks item up and off screen) or a bunt (angle varies depending on item and timing).

*Rerere is great to cancel into after long range pokes since it pushes them back, and leads to good damage if it connects. Despite being negative, it's unpunishable on block. Items might ruin or change the combo, and many players will try to burst after "Pull Back" so be ready to adapt. Also after "Pull Back" you can link a normal for an alternative combo, which can be useful if they hit something on the way over.
*Be careful throwing it often, because it has a lengthy recovery on whiff, and can be easily low-profiled or stuffed at full range easily by some characters.

*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.

*Forward can be used as an occasional frame trap, but players generally won't tolerate it for long.
*Backward helps you avoid some attacks when you are on the pogo, so use if you think they'll dp you or something.
*Short hop can bring you closer to the opponent faster than Forward can, and can get you in range for the P and S pogo moves. If you YRC the hop, you have enough space for a j.K which grants you a typical empty jump mixup.
*Doctor Copter is an rare combo tool, but horribly unsafe at neutral. holding up lets you fly higher and will give your opponent more time to punish.
*Cancel is the safest and most reliable move on pogo. You have more options on the ground, but if you are on the pogo in neutral without items, you are probably about to be punished regardless.

*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.

==Strategy==
===General Tactics===
 
 
===Tips and Tricks===
*'''Drill Cancel''': Drill cancel is a unique mechanic Faust possesses which allows Faust to break his air momentum at any point and begin falling towards the ground. This is incredibly useful technique that allows Faust to stall in the air, remain unpredictable and avoid anti-airs when jumping, and even do an low-to-the-ground overhead attack by drill cancelling just after leaving the ground and using j.K. In order to drill cancel, one must use faultless defense immediately after j.2K. This can be done by holding down back in the air, and inputting K~S (S can be replaced with P or H if it's more comfortable). By inputting Kick a hair sooner than Slash, you start the j.2K normal and immediately kara-cancel it with faultless defense, changing your air trajectory.
 
*'''Items''': The items dictate the pace of the match. You'll want to throw them out after knockdowns or from a safe distance away. The items will force the opponent to react and modify their game plan as long as the item is out.
 
==Combos==
===Basic Combos===
*2P(or 5P) > 2S > 2D > 236P
*2P(or 5P) > 2S > 2H > 236S~H > 236P
*2K > 2P > 2S > 2H > 236S~H > 236P
*2K > 5H > 236S~H(or 2D) > 236P
*f.S > 236P
*f.S RC 41236K~236P~236P~236P
*CH 2H(or 5H) > 41236K~236P~236P~236P
*5D > 8 > j.HS, HS, S, P, K > JC > j.K, S, HS
*Against Chipp use: 5D > 8 > j.HS, K, S, P, K > JC > j.K, S, HS
*(drill cancel) j.K jc j.2K micro dash 5P > 2S > 2H > 236S~H > 236P
*(Crouching)(drill cancel) j.k > JC > j.2K > 5P > 2D easier, but requires crouching
*(Crouching) 5P > c.5S > 5P > 2D
*(corner) 214H > 5K > 2S > j.K jc j.K > j.S > j.H
*(corner)5D > 6 > c.5S > 5HS (3 Hits) > c.5S > 2S > 2HS > 236S > 236S~H
*(corner)5D > 6 > c.5S > 2HS > 6P > c.5S > 2HS > 236S > 236S~H
*Ground Throw > micro dash 2H > 236P can be done without the microdash in the corner.
*(anti air) 5K jc j.K jc j.K > j.S > j.H
*(anti air) 5K(or 5P, 2K, c.S, or 2S) jc j.K > j.P > j.K jc j.K > j.S > j.H


===Anti-air 6P===
[[File:Video_Database_Test.jpg|250px|link=http://horibuna.web.fc2.com/GGXrd/GGXrd_FA.html]][[File:Forum_Test.jpg|250px|link=http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/forum/289-faust/]][[File:Frame_Data_Test.jpg|250px|link=GGXRD/Faust/Frame_Data]]
(Work in progress) Anti-air 6P combos are unique in that your combo both depends on counter-hit and the item you get when you use 236P. While you don't have to cancel 6P into 236P to follow up with a combo, it can either lead generous damage, extra stun, or the same combo with an extra item on the field, so learning to throw items after 6P is recommended. All combos listed will assume CH status:

Overview

Although Faust's appearance is bizzare, 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

  • Low 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
