lol at everyone picking Ein. You guys want this man to struggle for the cool factor.

You realize who you're talking to, right?

Well, I know YOU'D pick Ein.

Ein is just a boss. Stop hating Zeo.

lol I main Ein, no hatred involved. But the better character is the better character. Ein is cool factor, that's pretty much it. If you want to call that hate, go ahead. I'd rather call it truth.

Yeah, but if you just want to play the better character, might as well tell him to just skip to the end goal and pick Gen Fu.

But if you want him to be awesome and cool, Ein > Hitomi.

That much (the 2nd paragraph more than anything) I can agree with.

I know I'm only joking. Ein is more than cool factor... he has tools... Although, Hitomi and Ein are similar boats that you can learn one and still have some knowledge about what to do with the other imo.

You can play neither and still have some knowledge about what to do with the other, lol
Both are fundamentals characters and function very intuitively by design, especially Hitomi.

With Ein, nobody would really talk smack about your character. On the other hand, with Hitomi... spawn of satan.

"With Ein, nobody would really talk smack about your character."

Yes they would, lol

But look at all the reasons listed here of why he's badass! Come on! Toriyah, for crying out loud!

Ein does get less hate though.

Yep, if you rush down and get boned most of the time you'll be fine but if you play an effective whiff punishing Ein you'll be called spammer/turtle/coward/etc etc. Basically if you don't want people to talk trash, don't pick ANY character.

Or you know, everyone else could just go screw themselves. Whichever.

I have a tendency to favor latter approaches, it would seem.

I'm a SorryAssTurtle guys.

Hitomi if you want to play a more mix-up karate character that can net you easier wins, but Ein is more spacing orientated for quick damage + cool factor.

Why not both? I enjoy playing both characters (with some slight preference for HItomi as she is my main in addition to Eliot).

The important thing is that you need to have patience if you are going to play Ein. For Hitomi the abillity to control space is an asset not a necessity like it is for Ein.
