{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses | {{StrengthsAndWeaknesses | ||
| intro = {{SUBPAGENAME}} is | | intro = {{SUBPAGENAME}} is a highly mobile rushdown character with impressive combo damage, crazy neutral, and suffocating pressure. The nature of her pushback and framedata make it so that her pressure can rarely be punished. Her unique tools let her find a situation where anything can be useful, and she truly seems like she has no weakness. That is, until she's on defense. Vanessa's defense is terrible. Between having only one real reversal (that costs at least one bar and has a terrible hitbox) and terrible abare, Vanessa finds herself having even more disadvantages against KoF's already great systemic offense, meaning you either do a wild option to get out, or stay locked in and hope for the best. Vanessa's midrange also falters, with a lack of confirms and a lack of good ground buttons in general preventing her from doing much. Regardless, Vanessa's offense, combo game, and neutral are strong enough to make up for that. If you love to roll your opponents and don't care about having bad defense, this character is for you. | ||
'''Vanessa is a momentum-based offensive beast who makes up for her lack of mixups with her fantastic pressure and strong combo damage.''' | |||
| pros= | | pros= | ||
* | * '''Powerful, Explosive Neutral''': Vanessa has immense mobility, some of the best jump and crouch buttons in the game, and can completely ignore the existence of projectiles. Though she is very stubby, her movement and jumping buttons make up for that in spades. | ||
* | * '''Safejumps''': Almost every combo Vanessa does ends in a safejump and she even gets a safejump off her sweep and her overhead. Be afraid, be very afraid. | ||
* '''Ridiculous Offense...''': Between stancels, her speed and framedata, vision gimmicks, great lights and frametraps from them, and her fantastic EX moves, Vanessa's pressure is incredible. While her mixups are quite limited, her pressure makes up for that by allowing her to make an opponent flinch with ease. With many frame traps, high guard damage, ambiguous punish windows and a supermassive toolkit, Vanessa's offense is nigh insurmountable without meter to defend with, and even still with. | |||
* | * '''Great Hitconfirms''': Vanessa's low pushback on lights and great command normal make her hitconfirms almost impossible to drop from up close, and give her great time to block confirm into 214A/C. At range, her 5B and the immense speed of her EX machine gun punch allow her to hitconfirm off 2 lights. | ||
* | *'''Strong Corner Carry''': Vanessa has a decent amount of combo options which all give her fullscreen corner carry without sacrificing oki. | ||
* '''Incredible Meter Gain''': Vanessa's overall low meter spend on combos and high generation means she can put her meter to use where it's needed - to make her pressure and mobility as potent as it is. | |||
| cons= | | cons= | ||
* | * '''...And Horrible Defense''': Stubby abare, inconsistent hop check, and expensive reversals. Vanessa essentially has almost ''nothing'' other than pure system mechanics to help her defensively, which makes defending ''as'' her as hard as it is to defend ''against'' her. | ||
* | * '''Incredibly Punishing to Play''': Vanessa's recovery on many of her moves is so long that it's very often that dropping a combo, pressure, punish, or confirm will almost certainly be punished, oftentimes resulting in you getting hit by a full combo for something that seemed completely random (such as an air reset). Coupled with difficult execution and high APM, being 'asleep' when playing Vanessa is a surefire way to lose. | ||
* | * '''Meter Reliance''': Vanessa relies on meter not mainly for damage, but for continued pressure. Without meter, Vanessa finds herself without many ways to open up her opponents or keep them blocking and as such has to be more creative with her stubby moveset. | ||
* '''''Stubby''''': With the exception of her sweeps and jumping buttons, Vanessa's buttons are very small and very linear, forcing her to be cautious and pigeon-holed when it comes to neutral, abare, and even sometimes pressure. This can cause her to sometimes whiff 4/6A in the opponent's face, which can be ''reaction punished''. Additionally, her stand heavies are exquisitely terrible, and none of her buttons are good at pre-emptively stuffing hops. | |||

High reward but low range dash followup. Staple in corner BNBs, and frametraps from stand CD 236B. EX version is fantastic for pressure as you can create many high guard damage blockstring setups due to its blistering speed. Can cancel into 214B/D if blocked to retreat, or 214A/C for safety. EX version can only cancel into normal stancels on hit, another half bar will need to be spent on block. | |||

Low reward but high range followup. Doesn't see much use oustide of combos cause of its incredibly slow speed. EX version is useful midscreen but much more useful in pressure due to its blockstun, chip damage, guard damage, and frame trapping ability. Can cancel into 214B/D and 214A/C as well, but cancelling into another 236B/D on hit gets her very close quickly for great okizeme. As per usual, EX version is not cancelable into normal stancels on block. Canceling the backward vision version into weaving 4A/C is your main corner combo ender. | |||

Gameplay Overview
Vanessa is a highly mobile rushdown character with impressive combo damage, crazy neutral, and suffocating pressure. The nature of her pushback and framedata make it so that her pressure can rarely be punished. Her unique tools let her find a situation where anything can be useful, and she truly seems like she has no weakness. That is, until she's on defense. Vanessa's defense is terrible. Between having only one real reversal (that costs at least one bar and has a terrible hitbox) and terrible abare, Vanessa finds herself having even more disadvantages against KoF's already great systemic offense, meaning you either do a wild option to get out, or stay locked in and hope for the best. Vanessa's midrange also falters, with a lack of confirms and a lack of good ground buttons in general preventing her from doing much. Regardless, Vanessa's offense, combo game, and neutral are strong enough to make up for that. If you love to roll your opponents and don't care about having bad defense, this character is for you. Vanessa is a momentum-based offensive beast who makes up for her lack of mixups with her fantastic pressure and strong combo damage. |
