[General Character Discussion] What Do You Look For In a Character?

[Artisan]

Instead of playing characters maybe you have a character crisis where there's too many characters you like but you don't have time to put work into each one to see which one you're the best at based on your playstyle. I'm here to generalize to see which character's you might like.

Multiple jumps (later jumps max heights shorter)/Two jumps (max heights same)
Heavy big/Small light
Slow strong/Fast weak
Multiple weak hits/Single strong hits
Good recovery no damage/Average recovery medium damage/Bad recovery high damage
Swords less combos/Less range more combos
Projectile zoners/Rush downs
One gimmick characters/No gimmick well rounded

You can like both but maybe in different combinations, but if you have certain move usage frequencies you may be better off using one instead of the other to win. Projectile characters depend on B moves more. Heavy characters depend on shield more. Multiple jump characters like Pit or Kirby depend on jump more to with moves out and punish with aerials. Combo based characters depend on specific combo inputs like Bayonetta or Ken/Ryu or ZSS.

So did this change your character pick or make you want to try out other characters?
