-Seraph- said:As for favorite character? Oh too many but I will list my "Dark Trinity" I guess. Golbez, Jecht, and EX-Death. If Dissidia had tag team/ party battle (please god make it true with DLC or sequel) this party would be an unholy force as you would have all bases covered.
EX-Death: Fighting a skilled EX-Death is like punching a brick wall, he is the ultimate turtle in all of fighting game history; NOT just in Dissidia. He is slower than the second coming of christ but it doesn't matter as a good player will let the enemy come to him. Plus his reverse polarity counteracts his speed issue which is great because it can guard crush AND it can be used to set up dummie guards and canceling maneuvers.. His guard counters are amazing, and omni block can counter a good 90% of all HP attacks and whatnot. He's all mind games and drawing in opponents to strike at the right time; you really have to caution yourself while fighting him or it's a one way trip to the void for you. I love this evil tree and his extreme defensive game.
Jecht: Here's the complete other end of the spectrum; just like EX-Death was the extreme defensive fighter, Jecht is the extreme offensive. Jecht will hurt you...badly, with his combos that string on for long enough to really dent your brave. He's a simplistic fighter, but once you got an opponent caught in your assault they are fucked as he can string his standard HP attacks into his brave attacks. He has them from the getgo unlike other characters that need to master a skill before unlocking the brave-hp combos. His Jecht block in also an awesome defensive ability which on par with EX-Death's omni block. This allows him some leverage in battle being able to guard stun opponents and then countering with a painful combo, and it's even worse in EX mode with his full combo perk that allows him to string a combo WITHOUT EVEN HITTING his opponent.
Golbez: I gotta save the best for last, Golbez is the by far my favorite fighter and is the most balanced overall character in the game. It's just so hard to top a character like him whos offensive and defensive game both garner deadly effects. The fact that his HP attacks can be used to counter and defend is brilliant and non of his attacks come close to "useless"...there is no such thing as a useless attack for Golbez. His speed is average but his ability to cover great distances and his attack range are beneficial. He can attack from awkward angles which allow him to hit even after being guard-stunned, and his chaining capabilities make him one of the best combo characters in the game. While yeilding only average damage that stacks to do multihit attacks, specific perks like sneak attack make his critical hit rate go through the roof. Add to all that his EX perk "Black Fang", which breaks an opponents brave and he's pretty powerful. Every one of his attacks can chain into any other attack making him extremely versatile, and his invincibility frames from jumping can do wonders in terms of defending and playing mind games on the enemy. Nightglow is a great offensive and defensive ability, and the fact that he can chain any of his attacks into Cosmic Ray makes him incredibly dangerous to get caught in his attack.
Seriously this guy is badass and is just an amazingly well balanced out character to use. I could go on and on about how awesome Golbez is but I think I've made my point.
I like various other characters like my Gabranth and Sephiroth, but those 3 are my unholy Dark Trinity of death. I swear to god if Dissidia had team battle/ Tag team, this would be an awesome and well balanced team with a pure defensive guy (EX-Death), pure Offensive (Jecht), and the middle man (Golbez). I can only dream for now though.
I have a friend who can use Ex-death perfectly... It's not fair. Fighting a perfect Ex-death is completely unfair.-Seraph- said:
Cloud's not broken, he's just the high risk high reward type character. He hits like a truck but his moves are so easily telegraphed that it's so damn easy to block him. Although it is rather tiresome always seeing Cloud and Squall players over and over. They are the Ryu and ken of Dissidia and I would much rather fight some of the more obscure ones.Zetsubou-Sama said:
Well then I like your friend, good ExDeath players are rare seeing as many people dislike him due to how hard he is to use. I consider myself a talented ExDeath player, and he just dominates everything if used right. You just gotta play the mind games more and look for exploits, even a perfect ExDeath can be taken down if you have good timing.

The only way to beat my friend is get lucky and hopes he misses an omni block, he has the timing down perfectly to every attack in the game >.> It's not fair.-Seraph- said:Cloud's not broken, he's just the high risk high reward type character.

Since we are talking about Dissidia and all, what's everyone's favorite and hated stages?
I love fighting in pretty much every stage except Ultimecias castle, pandemonium, and sometimes kefkas tower. Too clusterfuckey and the camera can get whackey sometimes.
I like Dissidia. Though I don't like playing with my friend, who uses Cloud and ends up being a complete cheap bastard. I usually use Squall or Terra.almostnot said:
I hate Cloud mainly because, Onion Knight has high punishable attacks if he misses and has an easy time getting broken, so a combo from Cloud usually means break.-Seraph- said:Cloud's not broken, he's just the high risk high reward type character.

Not to be a pedant. But I actually never gave any opinion on Dissidia other than it should be worth playing for the sake of beating up Tidus. I also feel that FFXIII was worth playing if only to find out what it was like. I bought it on release day, found out what I was like I was horrified by how repetitive and uninvolving it was.Legion IV said:
