This is something I've been thinking about for a long time and I genuinely can't decide which variation I think is better between marksman and outlaw. I think they're both very good and I'm pretty committed to being a marksman main but lately I've been thinking outlaw is better mainly because of marksman's unquenchable thirst for stamina.
Marksman
+safe, hit-confirmable 50/50s through gun cancels
+gun cancels, while minus, can provide extra mixups on unsuspecting opponents
+big damage in the corner, consistently gets more damage than outlaw in any situation
+additional zoning options albeit fairly weak ones
+better keep-away with unload
+better unbreakable options
-bad njp
-very stamina hungry, loses certain options without stamina
-zoning options slow and punishable in many situations
Outlaw
+safe 50/50s through option-selects (still pretty difficult to perform imo)
+tarkatan stab provides an extra DoT
+godlike njp
+2 additional armored specials that grant more damage than his 2 universal specials with armor
+manages stamina well
+standing resets possible if you choose to sacrifice full combo damage
-limited zoning/counter-zoning
-limited damage
Let me know what you guys think. Who would you call to have better MUs? Who do you play and why?
Sorry for leaving gunslinger out but I think that variation's unique tools pale very hard in comparison to the other 2.
