What fighting game buzzword describes WFT's playstyle?

[Guybrush20X6]

I have no clue what rushdown, battery or mix-up mean but what do you think her playstyle will be?

 

[Chibi-Chan]

She's kinda tall/large?... Probably is going to have a good footsie game! A spacing character like Marth.

Or just some gimmick thing.

 

[ぱみゅ]

She might be the "basic" kinda character, like Mario (but better (hopefully)).

 

[TreK]

She does seem to have a projectile, so she'll probably being a hybrid jack-of-all-trades like mario.

I could be wrong tho.

 

[UberMadman]

Erotic Erratic

 

[Starbound]

Not too familiar with other fighting game archetypes, but she really does remind me a bit of Melee!Captain Falcon.

 

[choknater]

sexy and stylish

like Dante

Kreygasm

 

[payasofobia]

A Speed character. I'm imagining her having very good attack speed and mobility, to flank the opponent and confuse them.

Like ZSS.

I could really see her being a mindgame character, solely because of how strange and different her animations look. It'll take a bit to register just attack will follow up with her movements.

 

[Lemonwater]

For some reason, I'm seeing her as a taller G&W with more emphasis on reliable close-range attacks.

Her moves are pretty bizarre since she does them in a bunch of odd stances.

 

[Big-Cat]

My guess is that she'll be mostly midrange based, similar to Chun-Li. If I'm right, it would actually be kind of hard to make her bad.

 

[Hoboman5000]

I personally believe that she'd probably be a rushdown character because of her mobility, and she should have good mobility because of how fit she it.

 

[TopTierPichu]

she is "Capt.-Falcon-Mario-ZSS"
the hyphens make it all one word

 

[Road Death Wheel]

If little mac can be chopped up to Rush down and Rosalina Zoner than i would call WFT mid range.

 

[BBG|Scott-Spain]

Rushdown, basically. Long range hitboxes. Some are even a bit awkward, like Nair and Fsmash.

 

[victinivcreate1]

I would not call her rushdown at all. Dat slow dash and awkward movements. I'd say she is much closer to something like GW, than a real rushdown character, like Fox or Falcon.

thats why i used the term mid range Xd

Her dash seems pretty good. And her awkward movements are more helpful than anything.

 

[Cancel]

She is going to be good guys, thats why im maining her second to ZSS

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Seems she's a power-up character. The kind that need to find and take advatage of luls in the combat to be super effective. Fits a yoga trainer for sure.

 

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Now that she has a projectile, all of my thoughts on her playstyle changed XD

 

[BJN39]

TWO projectiles. Sun Salutation and Soccer ball header.

What part of the moveset is the Soccer Ball? I completely forgot about it.

 

[BJN39]

It's her side special.

 

[Riposte__]

WFT in one word: Ryu. She has all the tools available to her: Projectiles, DP,speed,Zoning, ect.

 

[Hong]

Her primary attribute hasn't changed since her reveal: her body can jarringly take the form of a hitbox. She is very much like G&W in that sense.

As for how she will play, seems to be a new flavour of generalist. Mario is also another character equipped to handle a wider-range of situations, but of course there is still so much ground to tread within the archetype, that there is so much unexplored territory. She is very slow and lanky, having a slow movement and what appears to be little reach. Thankfully, she has great jumps and three specials that leave enough incentive to not go in, and instead focus on healthy living.

We'll see how she fares against zoning fighters. Link in particular can have three projectiles taking up a lot of real estate, and if Falco returns with his blaster, he could pose a bit of a problem, too. Hopefully she has some priority to offset her short reach.

@ Mega Bolded part.

IDK where you got the idea she's slow, her aerial mobility and run speed from what we've seen are good if not great. Her walk speed is more average-ish though. (Bonus Wall jumping and crawling included as a side note.)

Before we discovered she had 2 projectiles, it looked like she was gonna be a 'mobility and physical' based fighter.
Thank goodness she does have projectiles though.

 

[Hong]

I'll grant "very" is not the right word, but she didn't look like she had a fast run to me.

 

[ぱみゅ]

her attacks look unsafe though.

 

[crimsonfail]

I would say that she's might be a charge character, like P:M lucas

 

[Z1GMA]

When it comes to WFT, it depens on the type of match.
In 1on1, she seems like an allaround character without any real weakness, which in it self becomes her strenght.
In FFA however, she'll definitely step into the role of a haymaker, sending ppl left and right with her both side-hitting attacks!

This ^^^

I think WFT the most balanced character in the game thus far (no pun intended). She has her advantages and disadvantages for sure.

 

[Big-Cat]

Looking at her more and more, she's definitely going to have a setup emphasis with a range of options to choose from. Her attacks that have hitboxes on two sides will give her mixup potential.

 

[Veggi]

I don't remember what each move does, but her moves hitting behind her might make her very good at beating dodge rolls.

 

[jigglover]

sexy and stylish

like Dante

Kreygasm

...

I read that as Dampé while skimming...

 

[Z1GMA]

I have a feeling some of her reversed attacks are gonna be key-moves in the middle of some combos.
It'd look fantastic.

 

[Bedoop]

Balanced.
*BADUM TSCH*

 

[Z1GMA]

She fights like Abdul from Fighters Destiny.

 

[Kaiduru Zeta]

I'd say balanced as well.

Having played her fairly extensively now, I feel like this is really accurate, but obviously the more reliable, more powerful projectiles give her more to work with. She's also a lot less punishable than Brawl's G&W. Her big, wonky hitboxes and quite erratic movement definitely remind me of G&W.
