I'm finally exploring Skarlet after only touching her twice since I purchased her. Here are my questions guys:
-What is her primary play-style?
-What are her weaknesses?
-How much does she depend on meter?
-What are her best footsie tools vs low hurtbox characters?
Primary Skarlet can play Rushdown, but she is a character that adapts quickly for a better play in any Matchup. Because she has a lots of tools, most of us do not consider Skarlet as a rushdown type of character dependent entirely, its more a matter of preference, adaption and how you can grind into her different play styles to win.
- IMO Skarlet weakness is not having a fast and consistent normal that can hit ppl in air, and punish some stuffs on block, things that requires to every Skarlet mainer to actually practice and improves her normals to hit successfully in these situations, she is also a character with a heavy execution barrier, so nothing comes simply or easy as some characters
- Skarlet is dependent of meter, her game becomes a huge threat at the very instant she builds the 1st bar, and strengthen as she gets more, not having meter her offensive game reduces by a ton, but not entirely. And also she builds meter pretty quick, which helps to balance her offense and defense in a instant.
Her best footsie tools are F34 because adds spacing, has a longer reach with a faster startup, since f3 is really good but is 19 frames and the followup its not safe, her slide is also very good to whiff punish almost anything, prevent setups like jax GP, Cyrax bombs, Etc. And her Low daggers that keep ppl in check in case they decide to AA Skarlet or poke out in some situations.
