Hey guys....im not an Elisabeth player, but im very interested in her. Ive got a few questions though.
1) Is she meter reliant? Or is she a solid character even without heavy meter use (I dont want to spend more than a bar or two with her). Does she build good meter?
2) What characters / matchups does she have a hard time with and why?
3) Is she really as execution intensive as Juicebox says in his Elisabeth primer?
4) What does she excel at ?
Thanks to anyone who is willing to answer the questions ! The reason im being so adamant about not spending a lot of meter with her is because Ive got Leona on anchor.....and Leona is non negotiable. If anything I can put Elisabeth on my secondary team though.
1) She's reliant on meter for higher damage output and some defensive options.
2) Elisabeth has bad range on most of her normals so she tends to struggle vs characters who have better range on their normals (Karate, Kim, Clark, Hwa, etc...). It makes playing the neutral game really tough with her and she needs to win the neutral in order to apply offensive pressure. She's also weak to rush down because her defensive options are bad so once you find yourself in the corner you're going to have to block it out or spend meter on GC blowbacks/rolls or a risky reversal (EX Iori).
3) She's one of the more execution intensive characters only because her max damage combos require specific timing on her juggles. The actual motions for her attacks aren't difficult at all.
4) She has some good space control tools and a tricky mix up game that can disorient people who aren't familiar with the match up.
If you're new to KoF, Elisabeth will help you grasp the combo system of KoFXIII much faster than other characters. Otherwise, I generally don't recommend the character for beginners mostly because of her weaknesses.
