What's the Meta Rundown on Princess Alice?

People have been bitching that she's the most OP character on the roster but really she has some worthwhile counters. It's more skill than luck.

I've been trying to main Antinatalist Shark but god damn, I can't get his strat down.

Strategy with Antinatalist Shark is to focus on tactical Despair use to wear down enemies before taking them out with massive hits of Infallible Logic. Divine Prison of Meat is a good move, too.

Imipolex G

I play as Bitmonica all the time every time

I like Zestpoole and main her right now (having that Panic Meter comes in handy) but I'm waiting for the update with Tiny and Rayman to drop

No, you're thinking about Heaper's Hangout 64. They updated the moveset.

Antinatalist Shark is all about strategic zoning and using the awkward hitzones of his normals to defend against rushdown characters like Chef.

I haven't unlocked YOUR KING and his child yet

Sredni Vashtar

Royal Cow, Ash Upquark and Safety Fairy are underrated, although I admit they are rather weak on offence. Safety Fairy's defence is ridonk, though; only Moon Goddess comes close.

^ his child is the worst to play against. He uses Logic like AS, but the effects are completely different. It's brutal.

^^ Oh, yeah, true. 64 is more my speed, honestly.

Yarrun XIX

^^Did you try getting both Chef and Waiterman to Pantheon rank? I think that's what did it for me.

Viani

When are they going to buff Chef?

Tre

They're not. Chef's OP as shit already, the dude spouts loud gibberish at you a mile a minute.

Viani

His gibberish per second is still really low though against hi-comp teams.

Imipolex G

I play Bitmonica all the time every time except when I play as Royal Cow

Sredni Vashtar

Apparently Royal Cow can tap Infinite Rulebook, which is frighteningly versatile, but I've never figured out how to do that. Apparently it's really easy once you figure it out but...

Imipolex G

it is a secret only we cows know

Sredni Vashtar

Bluh, whatever, I can just use Doll Doll Doll as Pangur Bán to the same effect.

Yarrun XIX

I hear rumor that someone's figured out a way to get Security to pull off an infinite wall combo. You have to cancel from one of his baton normals and exploit the lack of frames in his short jump. It has potential if it's real, but frankly, Security's poke game is so good that you don't need to go rushdown with him.

Sredni Vashtar

OK, question: Which PC do you think is the hardest to main? I'd say Quip.

Yarrun XIX

Everett, probably. Sure, his damage output is absurd in the right hands, but he also has 5 different grabs, each with finicky conditions and outcomes, lower health than is standard for a grappler, and an ultra that's easily interrupted or blocked. You can main him, but you need to be able to predict your opponent exactly, and that's a lot of different strats to learn over 30 characters.

Yarrun XIX

I mean, say what you want about Security's stance system, but at least you have plenty of options!

Quip

you're damned right I'm the hardest >:]
