Nah, I think Gen Fu is really noob friendly. Even people who just started the game can get mad damage with him. Of course, an "advanced" Gen Fu is less cheap. Momiji also has this problem.
Yeah, you can go all noob with 3p with gen fu and get lucky and win some, but noob gen fu loses once the opponent realizes to just spam mid punch counter to shut him down lol. I used to do that too. Btw I like Momiji and don't think she's cheap
Yeah but because this is a triangle system game, Gen Fu can throw you and now you're in the Cheap Fu blender.
Momiji is pretty noob friendly, but like I said, an "advanced" version of the character is less cheap. Momiji has so many things that people don't know about.
Neither GenFu nor Momiji are "cheap", but they are easier to use than some other characters such as Ayane or Christie. GenFu does require a lot of MU knowledge to combat right because of how much reward he receives when he guesses correctly. However, you can generally narrow down his options to 50/50's between Mid P & Throw most times.
Oh, if that's what I think it is, that's the best move she has lol. Also, Ayane kills my Gen Fu as it is without giving her 3 mid punches in a row to counter lol. Them spins....
