Social The WFTGD: How About Some Deep Breathing?

[The Real Gamer]

I wouldn't pay too much attention to that tier list... Too many unexplored and underdeveloped characters.

The ones near the top seem pretty accurate, however.

It's actually not very surprising, unfortunately. But I expect opinions will go upward at least a little once her metagame is developed, and her tricks are used most optimally.

I don't know, I think that tier list is inaccurate on the bottom characters. Even so, I find it too early for tier lists at the moment.

wii fit trainer is so cheeky

that sidestep whew

 

[TheTuninator]

WFT is actually super fun. I might end up maining her. What a world.

 

[deepseadiva]

I feel like there might be problems with her. She's definitely spry, but she's also kind of awkward to use.

Not to mention the "warning" whistle before her smashes. :///////////////

 

[TheTuninator]

The whistle is definitely unfortunate, but it'll probably only be an issue at pretty high-level play.

I'm really loving that the first part of her jab hits 360 degrees.

What combos have you guys found with the character? From my brief time with the character, it seems like you can get guaranteed hits off of up tilt and nair, but not dthrow (I think they can always jump out, but I could be doing it too slow).

 

[Steamblown]

A reminder when using Deep Breathing: You have to press B when the circle closes and is within the red dot in the center. If you do not do this, then the move will fail, and you will be open to attack.

 

[Luminario]

Not sure it's been mentioned yet but here's a bit of completely useless info. The English EU version of the game actually has the WFTs talk in an English accent. Caught me off guard and I loved it. Also she seems pretty fun and I'll switch her in to kick ass every once in a while. Anyway that's all the input from me carry on with your day.

I've found that at VERY low percentages, a Bair after Dthrow is possible. Also her Ftilt is amazing when utilized w/ instant turning since it hits both front and back, PLUS if you're quick enough you can follow up w/ Uair if you get them on the back hit since it pops them up.

 

[TheTuninator]

After playing a lot more WFT, I am definitely maining her. This character is just really fun. The volleyball and Sun Salutation are great, her burying jab is awesome, and her moves just click with me. I really really really love that the first part of her jab hits 360 degrees. Nobody expects to get poked away with a near-instant jab after rolling behind you.

Addendum: Starting up the volleyball to jump over a projectile and hitting the person who just shot at you with the ball is extremely satisfying.

Will use this song for a WFT combo video http://youtu.be/8NjbGr2nk2c

 

[Mr.Seven]

I played WFT, and somehow... Even though I had no plans to main him (I use the male version), the WFT became my best character.

 

[GalaxyWaffles]

I noticed that her down tilt will recover in to her laying down stance when used alone but you can cancel her layibg down into other tilts.. Actually it goes for anything. Down tilt into up B or Down tilt into Up tilt or Down tilt into Side tilt

Endless possibilities and it can be good for mixups and some follow ups. #TheMoreYouKnow

 

[deepseadiva]

She's so FAST.

I'm starting to think Sun Salutation is one of the strongest projectiles in this game. Why does this character even have a focus blast projectile so dumb.

 

[BJN39]

Speaking of her projectiles, I really like her large, floaty, soccer ball custom. You can use it in mid air and it can act like a semi-space controlling / mini pressure tool. It also stays out longer, allowing you to like, hit it again with an attack. Also, considering her normal header basically has no chance of KO-ing, the power reduction seems fine.

So... Apparently, WFT has FAR less landing lag on her air dodge than everyone else. Like 12 frames compared to 20 frames for nearly everyone else.

 

[⑨ball]

This was the only new character I really had no intention of even trying out. Turns out Wiifu is ridiculously fun, with some pretty strong tools. I see her being viable in every stage as the metagame develops.

Also nominating for best crawl/crouch animation in the series.

 

[Destroyer_Bravo]

Pushup spam OP.

I'd complain about the smash attacks, but I can't even get a smash with the circle pad (zing!)

Also, Japanese metagame will be different from NA/EU/BR/etc metagame. Maybe WFT will not be so low in the US/EU meta.

 

[shapular]

The thing that bothers me the most is that her forward smash doesn't hit small characters. Sakurai pls

 

[Teran]

Feel the burn in your thighs and your abs

 

[Brickbuild101]

Just swapped Villager for WFT as my main main.

 

[Wazygoose]

People are saying some of her attacks can't hit smaller characters. Is it possible to slightly adjust the angle of the attacks downward? An example would be Samus's FSmash, she can angle it slightly up or down.

 

[Death Arcana]

im trying guys im really trying
i see tough times ahead for the WFT main thou

I don't think so. I've tried. Circle Pad though.

 

[Nicky_Poo]

It is proving to be quite a task to do well with WFT. I guess I just need to get use to the distance of her smash attacks since I can't quite seem to connect them…not to mention how incredibly slow they are. You really have to play smart with WFT, reading your opponents moves and know where they will be since hit boxes are so unusual on WFT's moves.

Matchup wise, i'm having trouble w/ quick characters like Fox, Greninja, and Sheik. Anyone else having problems?

 

[The Real Gamer]

I'm in the same boat... I want to be good with her but I'm having trouble getting used to her small range. It's especially annoying when going up against smaller characters like Pikachu and DHD.

 

[Shaymikyu]

Every game I seem to have one character I had no plans on using that ends up being one of my best. For this game, I actually had several, but the best of them was WFT. She's just a blast to use. The one thing that bugs me about her, though, is her smashes can be a pain to get to hit. Granted, I feel this way about quite a few characters, so it's not enough to hold her back to much for me. I love Sun Salutation, though. There's just something so fun and rewarding about it.

 

[z00ted]

I wanna main Wii Fit Trainer but she's terrible :'(

I don't think WFT's smashes are even useful other than a hard-read upsmash or a punish fsmash (or punish upsmash on characters it actually hits) or roll punish dsmash. Her kill moves are b-air, uair, SS, and 3 different spikes. You'll likely need a good edge-guarding game to be successful with WFT.

THIS SO MUUUUUUCH the warning whistle along with the startup really make her smashes kinda less useful. That's probably why they gave her that nice third jab though.

Also you can't angle her Fsmash :'^(

Also also the best thing ever is following up Fsmash with SS just to hear her say "It's time to SALUTE THE SUN"

 

[z00ted]

Alright, so I'm probably gonna main this character. Initially thought she couldn't do anything due to the lack of her range in moves but after actually applying some tricks and pressure I've realized she's insanely fun/viable.

I picked her up maybe 7 hours ago and have been playing on For Glory the past 3 or so hours. I have like three videos that I would love to upload cause I feel as though they showcase some really strong Wii Fit Trainer play in game (perhaps maybe the strongest online) and my opponents are surprisingly strong as well. Kinda upset I accidentally skipped out on my best replay by pressing "A" too fast on the results screen but it's fine regardless lol. Do you guys know any thread or user who could help me upload them? :<

 

[Indigo Jeans]

I don't think there is any way to upload replays at this time aside from capture cards... can you even send replays to your friends in this game?

Anyway if I were you I'd still try recording it with like a camera or phone. Since its a replay it should be a lot easier since your hands won't be in the way.

Also how would yall feel about a WFT skype group?

 

[AvariceX]

Also how would yall feel about a WFT skype group?

I can't speak for everyone else but I'd join. Could be useful for matchup discussions or random questions.

 

[z00ted]

Alright, I'll just upload it from my phone lmfao. This should be fun considering I've never done anything like this before.
Give me a little bit of time and I'll have them up. And I'd totally be down for a Skype group (;

 

[Indigo Jeans]

Alright but if we DO end up having a skype group we can't just abandon ship here and leave this thread to die (which is sadly what happened with the greninja social)

add me yo
skype: starturds

 

[AvariceX]

Most of my time on here I'm at work anyway so I'll be around with or without the skype group. I'll add/post my skype when I'm home.

 

[Teran]

I don't think a Skype group would be harmful to the board as long as we kept up the threads and such. Also warming up to header spike because it has such a nice knockback angle, you could totally lull them into getting into the safer zones (or so they think) and spike their ***es offstage.

Haaaaaaaaaaah

 

[z00ted]

OMFG IM SO GOOD WITH WII FIT TRAINER SOMEONE HELP ME

Let's get those legs toned up.

I CAN'T STOP CARRYING CHARACTERS ACROSS THE STAGE
