Weapon Counters

[Dorsal]

Does anyone know which weapon "counters" another weapon? For example, let's just say lance counters katars.

SWORD COUNTER EVERYTHING
SWORD GOOD
SWORD IS GOD

[GregHouse!]

Blasters counters lance and spear... and a lot more weapons than it should.

Spear counters sword and axe

Sword and Axe counters katars and gauntlets

Katars counter Blasters but I feel like blasters counters gauntlets because of the horizontal
attacks they have, katars are more diagonal. Scythe probably work well too, but I don't know much about Scythe.

Lance off stage is a nightmare against gauntlets/katars but in the stage I guess it does fine against them, so I don't know. Facing Rocket Lance players, when you are using an Axe, i'ts so free at gold 4/gold 5/plat 1 but is a struggle when you are using a bow.

Bow does fine against all the long range weapons like Blasters, Spear, Axe and Hammer but struggles against weapons that are in your face like katars, scythe or gauntlets

Sword is pretty well rounded, I don't feel it counters anything too bad but also isn't countered either. You can use to space like the Axe or to rushdown like katars

Hammer counters everything when I'm facing it and is countered by everything when I'm using it

Scythe counters everything when I'm facing it and is countered by everything when I'm using it because I don't know how to use that weapon yet

I don't know. Don't listen to me, I don't know what I'm talking about. Can only talk about my experience, never seen a tier of these things...

Personally, unarmed beats axe, guns, azoth's bow and most hattori.

Hammer is lovely against gauntlet, spear and sword,

gauntlet beats scythe sword and spear.

Sword only has issues with swords.

lotta this is spot on.
This is why I learned unarmed. It counters playstyles that I have a difficult time defeating with my main weapons. (Lance and spear)

Whatchu talkin bout Willis?

Seriously tho, in my experience scythe counters guantlets reliably, sword beats guantlets ofte, and spear is 50/50

Then again maybe i just suck ast using guantlets

[Gollgo]

The angles gauntlet can attack at are pretty devistating if you aren't rushing headlong into your enemy. even if you don't rack up a ton of damage, the small smacks add up.

I haven't gotten into much about that yet.
But from MY matchup-experience:

Gauntlet > Scythe & Guns (Nix), Lance
Hammer > Spear & Gauntlets (Wu Shang)
Guns > Lance
Katars > Lance

Everything said is subject to change in many different ways, and i do not have an educated standpoint at the time of being.
But that is kinda what i started using when my opponent took any of those weapons.
Mayhaps i should start taking more notes on my behavior, what weapons i choose against what matchups.
