Reminder that in most cases of low tiers, it's their weaknesses that make them considered bad, not their strengths, so underestimating any low tier is a sure fire way of getting the shit kicked out of you

Q is the perfect example of how to make a character that has a super overpowered ability but isn't overpowered themselves. He might have arguably one of the most powerful abilities ever given to a street fighter character with his taunt, but the character is still balanced because he has a terrible regular moveset. But because his moveset is still REALLY satisfying to use, he's still a really well made character.

@splintergp Жыл бұрын

his moveset inst thaaat bad, but most of them dont combo, infact i think the only one that actually combos is mid kick, and to mid kick is jmp hp, so jmphp mk. his air normals are pretty good tho, the HK is really nice, also his charge combos from SA2 and command grab

Best to play footsies as Q in crouching block and charge his dash punch from this position. You can play defense well and be really aggressive at the same time. Also good to use low punch as your anti air, while charging up the dash punch, and then use low dash punch as soon as the opponent lands. I've been tearing it up doing this!

If you know all the characters, and can utilize Q in his slim moments of opportunity, I really do think he is one of the very best. Dude is insane if you can parry into opportunities.
