Most annoying character to fight against?

[Mia Tharifa]

I haven't fought against the whole roster yet but so far Djeeta and Nier are probably the worst for me. So repetitive yet effective.

[Garl Vinland]

Def Gran and Djeeta. At least other characters have some interesting mechanics to see when I'm getting dumpstered on.

Personally Soriz, especially those who just spam the lunge to medium or heavy button. I know there's counterplay to it but like, why even play a fighting game at that point. I get shotos because like they're just basic and your skill with them can transfer to other characters, even games, so nothing wrong with them but doing just 2 inputs for the whole set? Why.
I've yet to see a Soriz to use his unique action and install.

Seox.

Back away full screen, then get a neutral skip that almost guarantees your turn. Fun.

It looks like you mash too much. Soriz uses a few +frames to apply pressure and his unique action seems to be pretty bad tbh. try to zone him more and not press buttons when he's in advantage, check what moves he's + and you'll probably get better results.

Yeah I already know about his plus frames, but dawg I play Ferry, mashing too much as Ferry is straight up illegal with her slow buttons. Zoning him is also kind of scary with his neutral skip ultimate to 40-50% combo. I'll just chalk this up to a matchup problem.

I get that his unique action is bad, but isn't it vital to his comeback mechanic?

Still remains the fact the most that play him play the most annoying, 2 input gameplay tho.

That's just Soriz's gameplan overall, it doesn't change all that much at any level of play. He's essentially the Cammy of this game in straightforwardness. His lunges can be interrupted by literally anything so if they're predictable with it and you're controlling the space simply wait for the telegraph if there's distance between you and let him lunge right into your attacks.

Spot dodging is also extremely useful against him. He'll lunge right into your spot dodge completely open for you to have your way with him. This will take a lot more practice than simply letting him lunge into your attacks, however.

So, assert your space dominance and they will be wary of doing it and change up their play going forward making it a bit less irritating match. Once that's done you can also start baiting them into their super armor for free throws. It's almost guaranteed they will try to rely on it when you start laying on pressure.

I can beat Gran & Djeeta players easily using Narmaya but when I switch to Nier I lost to them most of the time.
On the contrary, Nier won most of characters that I lost to when I was using Narmaya.
So far my most annoying character to fight against is Cagliostro and Sheep

doge it and punish him.

[ELDEN LORD]

i ahte seigfreid cuz literally eveyone plays him, hes the ken of this game. i dont like nier much either cuz shes so popular and eppel just wanna do that cute little air juggle, makes me sick

[Hanamaru]

Siegfried so far, because his gameplan is so simple yet so effective, everyone with a basic understanding of the game playing him can take 40% of your health bar in just a few buttons, thankfully I'm learning to zone the hell out of him playing Cagliostro and Zooey, however, since the beta Soriz is sometimes even worse, but i havent seen many. Nier also has been a problem but I dont think she is that broken as some people been talking about.

I'm not sure, I don't have much experience in GBFV since I have barely touched the original game and haven't fought any player back then. I have played with a few characters, Soriz included and he seems to be strong but kinda limited for his lack of range compared to others.

Yeah I have played as Siegfried when I started and he definetely is easy af. I don't see him online as frequently as gran and djeeta tho

[Ahriman]

Vaseraga cause I don't know how to fight him and it's really hard to stop him from just charging in with my main

[Harley]

Metera I think that's how her name is spelt. She's probably the most annoying lol.
