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. |
