Zafina is here, and it's OP. How to deal with her?

[Mincomics]

Hello I open a first thread dedicated to the new DLC character, Zafina the spiritual ♥♥♥♥♥ from Tekken mission Egypt (T6).
I finally had a first contact with a Fujin Zafina. Se has a vanishing hitbox, elusive lows, lows into combo, high damage and like many female Tekken character didn't follow the physics.
As DLC guest, she is OP.

So, how you deal with her? She is a Kapo?

Personally I don't think she is OP. Though she does have her fair share of questionable attributes. A lot of people side step me when I play zafina and jab me out of my strings as they can be quite slow. Zafina can crush highs with some of her moves to I'd stay mid/low oriented with your pokes.

zafina has the biggest amount of useless moves. also most of her lows are launch punishable

She's the weakest out of all the dlc added characters.

Please do some research before making these posts.

She has a really good backdash. She highcrushes and sometimes midcrushes players who attack too much. Most of her strings and moves have huge holes in them. She is relatively unsafe.

Again, please research her. She is "OP" because this OP doesn't have the knowledge yet. Once you learn her pitfalls, you can win more consistently.

Let a girl character be OP.Mishimas,steve,bryan,dragunov , hwo,law... These chars always OP

Ok ok was semi-serious in the title quoting the past myself early this year when I was seriously talking about OP.
I noticed that she is vulnerable to Jin (4,3) air to ground attack when she is in its stances. Also that guy didn't gave a rematch.

The typical behaviour where you're using a new lab character to do a rank sprint. Is this a winquit?

First you post that Kazumi is a beginner Mishima.
Now you say Zafina is OP.

Can you stop talking about Tekken?

I've came across only 1 Zafina so far, it feels like she can only be cheap if you give her a chance to be cheap.


... Then she Rage quit.

Her stances are slow and defenseless. Her shifting into other stances are limited.
You need to have great timings launching attacks in Scarecrow or Tarantula stance.
I tend to use her as jabbing characters, rarely attacking, but doing many punishments or surprise attacks then go away.
But once her attacs connect, it tends to give repeatable damage. Scarecrow right kick launcher is repeatable, her forward right punch is repeatable, her tarantula left punch can even take enemy down and repeatable.
Her jump left kick is fast and big damage. Her right launcher kick is good too. Beware of her many slow twisting attacks though.

Op my a$$. that character is a joke. Whenever i her on rank i just fist bump and cheer for my free win

[ShadowSplit]

Can't say I see it.

Why is everyone thinking that Bryan is op? Have you ever tried to play with him GOOD? Not just a spamming level against noobs? He has very few lows, few mixups, not really good in poking and he's quite slow. To make him look good against a not noob oponent you have to have some skills and tactics.
