The hitboxes being decent doesn't mean in an exchange they will come out on top. In fact most of her moves in air are destroyed in exchanges. This usually is due to their strange startup, though. That's why people like charging j.HP to block the trade instead of trying to beat others to the...

Take it easy folks. It was meant as a joke. I wouldn't play PW if I thought she was a bad character. :)

I play solo Painwheel. It's very much a game of the mind. I rely entirely on tricking my opponent. I really enjoy playing PW. Pros of playing Painwheel: Her combos are simple, and her playstyle is easy to understand. She has projectiles. She can fly. Even when at a disadvantage, she can almost...

My reasoning is that a beginner needs to get used to the way more experienced players play. Playing other beginners can help them get better, but when they hop into a match with someone tough it's going to be an eye-opener. You're not wrong; that can help whip them into shape. But in my view...

Here's a little update: Recently I've been asked why the more you play, the worse you get when playing back-to-back matches. (Obviously, this is not a problem for everybody, and is probably a beginner's issue.) I think it's a build-up of frustration from things not working out for you. Losing...

You need to be pushblocking. You do it by pressing MP and LP and the same time during a block. But since you play Fortune, there are a couple of moves you can use to reverse the situation. I recommend watching a few youtube videos of people playing Fortune, and watching carefully what they do...

Totally. It's a lot more fun when you're not so bent on winning all of the time. I don't know what it is, but people treat quickmatches like it's EVO grand finals or something.

That's where I disagree. I think it has more to do with who the new player is; some kids can pick this up really fast, others can't. It doesn't take all that long to learn, really. The hard part is putting yourself in a position where you're actually learning. Old habits from other games can...

I see. It's one of those things that are easier said than done. Personally I think of it the same way. I try not to mash, just because I feel that I'm not using my head at that point. I seem to do better when I'm more observant of my opponent's attacks, and don't reach for a "fix all" solution...

So returning to the topic: What are the reasons for people specifically hating on Filia mashing supers? What about her supers in the given scenario is a problem? PW's level 3 has a similar effect to Filia's supers. *Provided it only works on the ground. It also can become a valuable reversal...

But realistically speaking Filia's supers are relatively easy to read most of the time, and there are huge consequences for her if she screws it up. I get what you're saying. Yes, it sets up for a combo, but knowing the danger should only make you more aware that the special is coming. You...

Lol no. The moral of this story is to quit hoping that the game will change every time you run into a problem. PW duels are so nerve-racking for me, if I had more I think I'd be too afraid to quickmatch anymore.

I didn't consider that actually. I was just assuming they were mashing their super. But even so it depends on the situation.

That sounds like a good idea, actually. I will see if that works later. People always use Filia as an example on this topic. In every fighter there's always one character that's place high tier for one reason or another. Dropping the combo + blocking a little early, dropping + blocking at...

Thanks. Hang in there, new guy.

I just realized I've been spelling Squigly wrong this whole time. She's just... gross.

I'm Matt. 19 m, married. I got into SkullGirls via NG and Zone. (Judge me.) I get really salty after about 20 straight losses. My least favorite characters are Parasoul and Peacock. I can't read their shenanigans to save my life. My favorites are Painwheel and Ms. Fortune. Everyone else is cool...

My Java started screwing up, so I kept it short. I figured if someone wanted to ask something specific that wasn't mentioned, they would.

Typically when the number of hits is increasing, you can't do a whole lot until the reset. You have to wait for the first combo to finish, wait for your frames of freedom, and pick one of the methods listed. In other words, don't mash buttons while you're helpless. Be patient and wait for the...

I stand by them. But you're right; it all comes down to practice. Every fighting game is a learning experience.
