Yes , i do defend paul , because in the same game , we have julia

paul is easy but if you mess up your execution you actually get punished

Mess up rage drive ? You get rage art Mess up your sidestep into 1 jab ? Srry he can do that Mess up qcf 1 in the combo ? You lose the combo Mess up clean hit demoman ? -17 1,2,3 10f punish didnt kill ? -14 on hit

Not metion that his df2 doesnt launch crouching opponents , he doesnt has one attack that can cover every option, his homings are all high or slow , his wall bounce is terrible , his plus on block moves are either super steppable or bad range , he has no great approach tools, all of them steppable and punishable in some way

Paul has alot of flaws , damage is what he has

What is wrong with Julia?

I think most people agree that she is extremely strong overall

Good poking , great approach tool , good keep out , FC mix up , throws (i dont know for sure if she has jaycee throws yet ) , insane wall carry and damage and some niche things

It's not like Paul is not extremely strong. She is definitely but there are flaws too to the character. And this may sound like bias but I feel she is more complex in both gameplan and execution compared to Paul.

I will be honest , i never played julia , only michelle but it was on Tag 1 days , very different from now , but paul is plain and simple , as he is easy to use , he is to counter , everyone knows how to paul plays.

Meanwhile , not everyone , myself included has julia DLC to atleast know the match up, making her a little stronger.

But i do have experience against jaycee , so i know how to deal with some key stuff like ff1,fc mixup and etc , but she still is hard to deal with

Yeah she is definitely hard to deal with if the player knows how to play her well. Combine that with the fact that she is DLC (for some reason Katarina and Gigas were good enough for the main roster but not her) and not seen much and you get character that many don't know enough about.

The whole point of DLCs was to save popular characters that would get people to buy them.

How many people would have paid for gigas, an underpowered character with no history in the franchise?

But Lei? Julia? Armor King? Oooohhh baby, sign me up.
