Gal is too hard to use

[sundown]

She has no reach and her moves are extremely weak. I beat the game in an hour using Ricardo and I've been playing for 3 hours with Gal and can't get anywhere against the final boss on NORMAL. It's not fun to have to chip enemies to death slowly.

Also the final boss area gauntlet is too long with no checkpoints between the stupid Dobermans, the Cheetah guys and the boss (who is quite easy except for the annoying mobs).

Speed, Combos and Agility is her strong point. Female fighters are weak by default.

i managed to go through with gal using a few tricks i learned in the training mode, but yeah she it's very hard to draw her true potential ou of her technicality.

Honestly, I believe that Ricardo is hard to use. Just keep practicing and playing the game. ;)

Same here. I’m never good at using the slow, strong characters. Ricardo is really cool, tho, so I don’t mind taking the time to practice him

Her deal is air juggling. If you're good at that, you already beat the game.

It takes some really focused practice but here is what you can do with her: after you combo your enemy into a grab (backward or forward) you can dash and jump into the enemy and then press down attack and neutral attack right after.
This will make you stall the enemy fall and fall before him allowing you to recapture and start a new combo!

It is really hard to execute, the timing of the dash is really short and you have to jump almost at the same instant since the dash jump is what allows you to get to the enemy in the air in time.

Here is a video showing how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg8yefibTxs

Gal is hella good, IMO. I 1CC'd hard with her before doing so with anyone else. You just have to get decent at doing combos. Any boss with a wall present is combo meat.

[sundown]

I'm quite decent at combos and air combos already but maybe there's something I'm missing... regardless she could use even a slight damage buff

I tried the hard difficulty with her yesterday... i got to death island but then it just exausted me, i can't do long combos consistently enough with her to deal with those bird fighter without losing ridiculous amounts of damage.

Norris is much easier to play and deals more damage without moving all around the place pulling all the enemies.

Her flaws are starting to show more on hardest when the enemies aren't letting her to do as she pleases with increased aggro.

Took me 10 times to get hardest clear for her and I've played her the most. With Norris all it took was one try. Can't say much about Ricardo because I don't play slow characters in beat em ups.

Norris is easily best in game when it comes to ease of use.
Gal and Ricardo require mastering. For Gal you gotta master execution and movement (mainly for stopping in the right spot) and for Ricardo you gotta master movement (like getting around properly and quickly) and timing.

[Qviss]

That's exactly why I feel like Gal is a poor mans Norris. She has to do much more for the same results. You can't really say that Norris lacks movement either since he's actually pretty good at that too. Overkilling also takes quite a while to do with her because of her low damage.

I like playing as Gal, but her low damage makes the game drag out too long for me.

I love playing Gal, but I also love hitting buttons so...
