Which characters in this game are well-rounded/versatile/jack of all trades?

[NowItsAngeTime]

I'm interested in playing this game, especially since I've played other ArcSys games like Blazblue CPE, GG Xrd and P4AU.

Basically I like characters that can play any game at least decently well or at least does well in neutral. Doesn't necessarily have to be shotoclone.

You can refer to my signature to see which kind of characters I play in the other popular ArcSys games.

The game is a bit different than ArcSys, I'd compare it somewhat to Melty Blood with the reverse beating and such. I also can't see your signature, but the "well-rounders" would seem to be Hyde, Gordeau, Merkava. They all have either projectiles or very large attacks that help in neutral. Only reason I don't add Waldstein for his size is because he is a focused grappler from what I can tell. You should try to get a feel for everyone though. Akatsuki, Eltnum, and Orie might be worth considering, too.

Doing well in neutral is unfortunately Akatsuki's weakness, so I'd suggest against picking him if that's the only thing you're looking at. Most of the other characters have fairly stable neutral games, though.

 

The most stable characters in neutral may be Gordeau and Merkava, in part due to long normals, good conversions off most hits, and strong pressure games. Hyde and Orie are also fairly stable, though I'd rate them below the likes of Eltnum and Linne in that regard.

 

That said, the game is completely playable with pretty much any character you choose, so it really may be worth dabbling with everyone.

 

If any character in particular catches your eye, feel free to ask about it and the fine folks around here (or I) can give you more details about their playstyle and whatnot.

Oh sorry the characters I have in my sig are:

Blazblue CPE: Celica (main), Tsubaki, Rachel

Guilty Gear Xrd: Elphelt (main), Dizzy (if she comes), Ky, Ramelthel

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax: Rise

Ah, thank you. I'd probably still recommend you Hyde since you like Ky. You play quite a variety of characters though, so maybe give Vatista a try? She also uses a lot of projectiles but isn't blatant zoner buttons like Nu. She also has some trappy moves and multi-hit attacks like Rise. I guess I misunderstood a bit when I said Akatsuki, so if you ask again I guess I can try to clarify better. Hope I helped!

Maybe Carmine? I'm not very familiar with the character, but he seems like he does alright at neutral and has that set-play/rushdown thing that some of your other characters have.
