☢☢☢ Skullgirls Theory Update Post ☢☢☢
1. It seems that I've been playing in the matrix all along because of my 50HZ TV. So while my theory stuff is even stronger than I thought it was, I have to relearn the whole game from scratch. Combo timings, defense timing etc. and I can't even play the game at home until the patch fixes that problem.
2. As of the moment of this writing, solo characters cannot handle teams. This is because blocking while spamming a DP assist that will grants you a full combo requires 0 risk, thought and effort, (think about week 1 Haggar and Tron assists) while dealing with such a tactic as a solo character will require to actually experiment and explore.
So while I understand why others are claiming solo characters "suck", it's still a week one tactic, while solos characters are versatile enough by themselves and with the huge health and damage would probably reward you later for learning to deal with shit like a manly man, without the cop-outs that assists provide while everyone are still at the noob phase.
If you have a way to enforce a mixup that doesn't get defeated by pushblock (and you probably have)then I think your character is able to play solo. Now it's up to you.
(Even if you play a team vs team, as soon as 1 character dies, you are left with a weaker solo character. Since every player will have to explore the solo solutions anyway, might as well start from day one.)
