Gladiator's best counter(s) ?

[anime catgirl]

Who do you think is the best counter for Glad ? I rarely see any Glads out here but still can't figure out any counter for them. What's your opinion on this ?

[Starwight/ttv]

Kensei is a great counter to Glad. I feel Orochi does well too. Really anyone that can either trade hits with him and come out on top, or anyone with a side dodge attack will just tear him apart.

Also, unless it was changed and I don't think it was, you can get a free gb if you block Glads dash attacks.

A character with a side dodge attack can really punish Glad for even attempting a toe stab or a skewer.

Almost any assassin is an effective anti-Gladiator (including another Gladiator). I'd say PK and Shaman in particular, but Orochi and Zerker not far behind. Highlander would probably also be more effective than most in his current state, but that's much tougher to pull off.

Yeah I wanted to say Highlander as well, but I'm not sure how well Highlander would fare since his light attacks very much leave him unable to utilize his offensive stance 50/50

The Highlander "theory" for that would be to just dodge everything Gladiator does, and as soon as he stops doing it, nuke him.

Obviously that necessitates having the reactions to dodge everything Gladiator does.

Shogu for trades and your invincibility... worked pretty well

See, I personally didn't want to say Shug. I'm so biased against Shug (he is mu Achilles Heel, the only hero I consistently almost always lose against), that I was just gonna leave that one alone. I'd say with his hyper armor he gets at will, he SEEMS a good counter, but for me personally he counters everyone and I flat hate that hero. So yeah, on my end, the bias is real

with a bit of luck and a retarded gladiator, you could celtic curse into a side heavy, do yo little grabby grab and them nuke his ass while he's down.
