Plasma Sword/Vector

Introduction

Overview

(Insert brief description about character and how they play, other details)

Strengths

Weaknesses

Strong Neutral: Vector is the Sagat of this game. He has a strong high/low fireball, a semi-gimmicky DP and great singular buttons. There are few characters with as simple and effective of a gameplan as Vector/Omega. Satellite Oki: Vector can convert a lot of his knockdowns into lockdowns thanks to his 214A+B super. This has great, albeit expensive, synergy with his 236A+B super, which sends the enemy full screen and allows Vector set up zoning mixups. Excellent move set utility: Vector and Omega both have tools for just about any situation in the game, and their super pool also covers each other's matchup spread. While Vector's ability to convert and lockdown far outweighs Omega's (and thus, makes him the more stable tournament pick) there are certain matchups where Omega's AA super out-performs anything Vector has and makes him the better pick.

Needs Meter: Vector's only big non-meter combos are from extremely niche and unlikely situations: landing 3K or back throw. This is not a juggle character, and without meter, the robots just don't hit very hard. Struggles to make comebacks: You've got a fireball and some decent pokes. That's about it. Vector doesn't have high/low pressure that's worth writing home about, he just wins neutral and converts off bad jumps from the opponent. Characters that overwhelm him in a few big guesses make his life miserable, particularly if they can easily out-maneuver his fireball game. Weak to Meta: Because of the above points, every top tier pick in the game is specifically a bad matchup for him. The cats in particular make Vector's life hell, as Vector can never be without meter versus them (so that he doesn't get hit by the block string infinite) and he also can't keep them out with his core toolkit. The only character in the top tier that he doesn't very specifically have his toolkit invalidated by is June, who, in many ways, is just better at doing what Vector does anyways.
