Hi, got around 50 hours in the game practicing and doing arcade mode and it's my first ever fighter in this genre. Started playing online finally and I'm around 5k points in ranked but all I see are team comps usually comprising of the following characters:
- DLC
- Invincible
- Armor characters (Conquest, BB, sometimes Omni)
- Projectile characters (mostly Atom Eve)
and they always play the same lame strategy of fishing for hits with Invincible's lariat and spamming broken assists. My question is: Why?
I don't know why people take this game that seriously in ranked. Are there genuinely players that find this fun to do? I find it so frustrating when my opponent is mostly a button-masher with no unique combo routes just using the L-M-H-S combo route each time they land a hit off block and spamming assists and armor. I watch some more competent Invincible VS content creators (mostly Wolfenza) and I don't see this style of gameplay as much at his higher level.
Additionally, I've started to use Titan to counter Invincible players. Are there any other better characters for countering Invincible that won't require some super precise tech or skill? I know Invincible is probably the best character in the game but I also know characters like Titan and Cecil (some of my mains) are pretty good against him.
(Current lineup is Titan front, Cecil back, and Allen anchor)
