Could remove Sophitia from ranked
Wrost character by far, no lows, all u gotta do is stand block to complicate her life. No combos so no punishment, short reach, slow, relatively weak, CE too short and slow, and on top of all that she is hard to execute-do not even think about playing her if you have any lag. When she is charged she is compared to the others in normal state.

Total garbage. And if I'm not mistaken she got her only average low turned to mid, so she really has no lows now beside the joke kicks which are laughable short.

If you think I'm wrong, go to theater and count how many times she beats an opponent of higher level and how many she looses to lower level players.

The game is overall balanced now except for her. Removing her makes the game reasonable.

Go to watch online matches. Player needs to be higher rank to win with that character. That is, a better player. If you get wins with her, it is just that youre good, doesnt make her a better toon.

Yes, she has some combos in the wall. Like if no other characters had that... But more about them below.

This is a RPS game. You need lows. She doesnt have them which gives the opponent advantage.

Her (only) good low works only at short distance where everything else on her sucks. So it is really just a poor resource to get distance. You cannot ;punish in that state because the move is just freaking slow to recover from.

Its difficult to stay in her distance. Her moviment is unprecise so it is very hard to return to your distance when youre under pressure. This facilitates pressure on her by her opponent.

Guys, you are all talk, and codes, you don`t play the character clearly. Maybe you`ve seem some internet videos of her comboing in training mode... All right. Play her against higher level players and come back here

Her lauchers are bad. Strong, but slow to start, telegraphed and have slow recovery so you dont have a lot of options after if you hit. Actually theres one that lauches high, but too high. Hard to combo and sometimes even to CE it.

If you have some lag, forget it. Nothing will work and she is just a sparring doll.

She has some GI moves but they are not saving her. Even when they crit you cant follow up easily unless you`re very close, but you won`t because shes bad at close range, so they are another hard to use poor defensive asset. Also, these are hard to time, and if you have some lag, they are plain useless. Her block GI is too short, and has slow recovery, so its very dangerous.

She is not safe, most of her moves are punishble on blocks, and telegraphed so subject to GI. She does not have a lot of options to keep the opponents in the ground because of her sheetty lows, so basically all your opponent need to do is roll and block standing to get away of pressure.

Her maximum combo count is like 3... she does not have 1 press-X hits moves, and in all of her combos, the last one is telegrapphed, GI, dodge, easy. So you dont really use the 3rd hit, and if you have lag, they can go anyway and you`re screwed..

Even her lethals are harder to apply. To be honest, I rarely see her making them, unless with the combos in the wall. Otherwise they do not open for combo opportunities unless you are close to the wall. Even then, it is hard to apply these combos. Other characters do easier and harder combos from mid screen with no problem.

Well, get the best sophitia players out there and watch them play higher ranked players. Youll see what happens.

In Summary, she is a Training Mode toon. She is the perfect match only against the CPU, a dummy doll or lower level players.
Nah, you're still wrong and the way you continue to argue about it only proves you just don't know how to play her well. The competitive community doesn't think she is bad at all.

They don't main her. I imagine the ones who do are just good, so they would do well even with Bozo.

Oh and ready before you reply.

This argument is beyond stupid.

remove the power hits and some magic effect and Sophitia, Cassandra , Amy , Raphael , Kilik and Mitsurugi are the most realistics moves in this game. Siegfried , Nightmare " Siegfried bad side " , astaroth and all others are just unreal moves of this game oh when you saw Raphael Amy and Mitsurugi block an attack this is unreal cause they dont have shield so in real they cant do this they can just dodge or escape the hit. kilik can use iro nstaff for block a sword hit yes this is hard but possible in real.

Okay so Sophie on Rankings has a lot of really high spots, and I mean a lot, I played her myself vs ppl like Head Cheese and even without putting almost any work into her I could take rounds. She is often seen in tournaments too. I know ppl who seriously struggle with sophie and I myself have a horrible MU vs her, one of the worst if not the worst, and if a charracter is the biggest threat to your pick, then they automatically canno't be bad, It would take an immense amount of coincidence for charracter to be underpowered but play into an another charracter so well it becomes their worst matchup. At the same time, I see a lot of scrubs who use Sophitia and get to D/ low C's with little to none knowledge about the game. I see whats your problem, the charracter isn't easy and takes effort as she canno't enforce a mixup out of neutrall too well. But saying her low is bad and launchers slow is stupid, they are actually verry good moves, aspecially her 66B,66K. And its clear you are a newbie if you think she cannot combo properly coz she has plenty of comboes, and 3 hits is ... well first of all a number of hits mean nothing, you can do a 30 hit combo and deal like 60 dmg, but sophie goes way beyond 3 hits even with her B&B's without much effort. Now saying a luncher launches too high so its bad is... well thats just retarded, I didn't expect I'd even have to point that out.

Watch Kuri-Kuri-Nyawu on youtube who competes against top SCVI players and beats them with Sophitia to get a good taste of what she's capable of.
meaning you have to be top tier to play her, not shes a good character. the guys that are loosing are just not good enough with their characters

Just look at the move list. Do that. Please stop fueling the garbage fire you've started and look at the move list. It is something you can do in-game. Just do it. Please.
Resiliento Apr 13, 2019 @ 2:57pm 
as i said just go to the replays, check the sophie players and tell me she wins more equal ranked than loose. if yes, ill take that as an argument in her favor.

videos and tornaments are something else. you have to be perfect to play well with her. she has stuff that can be good, problem is they only work in very specific situations, which puts her in extreme disadvantage in relation to other characters.

you can come here and say that move a or b of character x is ok, but that character sufesr from all those problems.
