I didn't have trouble at all learning Kabal. He was actually one of the easier characters to learn for me.
Very true. Ill continue on the band wagon by saying KL, Kano, EasyMac, Smoke to a lesser extent.I disagree with Sub-Zero. He may be a great charcter, but he is probobly one of the hardest characters to learn effectively.
She is shooting to be a chocoblanka for sure. She knows it takes time but hopes to be competitive eventually.@Organelle
It depends on what your trying to do for her and what she wants. Is she a casual player trying to have fun online? Is she casual and just wants to play against you and your friends? Is she seriously into the game and wants to level up? Do you want her to level up and she has the capacity to do so? Does she want to be the ChocoBlanka of MK9 (female blanka player from japan, beasly!)?
That might help everyone out here and everyone can come up with a short list for you.
Lol mine started the same way, but after building my arcade cabinet she got hooked. She still gets pissed when she loses but she keeps coming back to the game which is all I can really ask for ;D hahaMy girlfriend can barely play Little Big Planet, let alone a competitive fighting game. She gets pissed off at LBP, can't imagine how angry she'd get from any fighter lol![]()
Kung Lao.My lady is potentially hunting a new character since many folks told her kabal is rather hard to learn well.
A lot of folks asked me why I recommended such a hard character to her.
So I was hoping you guys could give me your opinions on which characters are the most accessible for someone newer to fighting games so I can pass the info down to her.
Thanks!
There we go! now we're talkin'! She wants to take this game fuckin seriously then! Where do you place her skill level right now? Does she know not to spam spears and teleports with Scorpion? Does she know not to teleuppercut all over the damn place unless it's in a combo with Sektor? Can she instant air anything?She is shooting to be a chocoblanka for sure.

That's good, you should record her playing, that way once she cools down she can review what she needs to work on.Lol mine started the same way, but after building my arcade cabinet she got hooked. She still gets pissed when she loses but she keeps coming back to the game which is all I can really ask for ;D haha
As Organette. She will be respected.Kung Lao.
Tell her to sign up.
She has no problem using specials, and she even has some decent juggles. She just can't do the tricky stuff like spam dash cancels, which is why kabal is looking less like an option for her.There we go! now we're talkin'! She wants to take this game fuckin seriously then!

Basically, is she above a beginner and, hopefully you take no offense by this, but if I play her online will I be surprised I just played a girl?
Raiden is an easy character to get to mid-tier player status with. You need exceptionally good reads at higher levels as you have to make them respect superman and know how to do that without spamming it to your own death.Best beginner character has to be Raiden or Scorpion
Based on what YOU know, would you say she is above jumping in with Scorpion right now?She has no problem using specials, and she even has some decent juggles. She just can't do the tricky stuff like spam dash cancels, which is why kabal is looking less like an option for her.
Oh definitely, she just needs a character who isn't insanely difficult to play at high tier. She is def a solid mid tier. She understands the moves, mechanics, spacing, and all that jazz.Based on what YOU know, would you say she is above jumping in with Scorpion right now?
Based on everything you've said then, my vote is for Sektor, Noob or Lao.Oh definitely, she just needs a character who isn't insanely difficult to play at high tier. She is def a solid mid tier. She understands the moves, mechanics, spacing, and all that jazz.
Wouldn't she have to dash cancel with reptile as well?I say Reptile based on what I've read now.
He has really easy juggles, and great mind games that are simple and easy to set up.
He also has one of the only useful X-rays.
Lol. Loving the hate.I'll leave you with this; there's a reason they call him Easymac.
