One stupid question：so...Xcaliburbladez can't go TFC?

 

Christie mirrors...

*yawn*

 

Christie mirrors...

*yawn*

After SJ8, we need some Zack mirrors.

 

Every fucking grand finals, there is always a Christie. It was a breath of fresh air to see an underutilized character going ham. Therefore, Zack brought out the hype from the crowd...

...and then Christie killed it. That Christie mirror had zero hype.

 

We need more Ayanes in Grand Finals for a change.

 

We need less Christie mirrors in Grand Finals. People start studying that matchup.

 

Yeah if you guys don't want to see Christie in the finals then you guys need to travel and take one of us out.

 

Not gonna lie, BB. I miss your Kokoro.

 

Yeah if you guys don't want to see Christie in the finals then you guys need to travel and take one of us out.

Or you just pick Rachel.

: )

Even if someone did that, there'd still be like 3 dozen other people using her anyway. It feels like it's getting to the point where you need Christie to kill Christie. It's getting lame.

Or you just pick Rachel.
: )

He did at a point. Christie stomped her.

 

You know I work very hard to get to grand finals with her >.> I'm one of the only three people to use her...so how are y'all tired of seeing her.

I honestly think it's more the mirror match than the character. Similar things happened at TFC when it was Lopedo vs XCal Alpha vs Alpha...

but yeah, I also don't like Christie and I believe a lot of people feel the emphasis of the stun game on her character just tires their brain out too much to care.

If the other player picks Christie it obviously doesn't work.

 

I mean ok I can understand the mirrors but to just straight up say they hate seeing Christie win lol it's like they are basically saying they hate seeing me win xD I wanted to switch characters, but I couldn't after win my first match with her.

Yeah I don't think it has anything to do with seeing Christie win.

But I think players need to study matchups more, me included.

Sweet Revenge went into the lab to study Alpha/Helena to take down BladeZ and looked on point. He even knew how to maximize juggle damage against Alpha. More people need to do that.

 

I don't mind seeing a good Christie in action, she's a very technical and complex character. But, it does become tiresome if you regularly see matches being dominated by Christie and hardly any other characters. One thing I enjoyed from watching JP DOA matches is seeing the relative character variety instead of just Christie or Helena. Even with MU knowledge Christie is still a bitch to beat.
