Marvel vs Capcom 2/Strider: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:04, 17 July 2024

Introduction

Strider Hiryu is a ninja from the Capcom game Strider. He wields a long plasma sword called Cypher and summons many robot animal helpers. In keeping with his ninja theme, he is very mobile and can teleport around the screen. He seems like he could zone with his animals but his biggest strength comes from his Ouroboros super (aka Orbs), which allows him to put out projectiles while he attacks and lockdown the opponent.

Strider is not an easy character to pick up because of his low health and tricky execution and he also needs a team built around him to get the most out of his orbs super. Strider is a great pick if you want a cool, tricky character that has a very unique playstyle.

TO-DO: Add frame data, as well as missing sprites

Gameplay

Strider is a rushdown/trap character who can use his Ouroboros super to lockdown the opponent. His main strengths is his relentless pressure but his weakness is his reliance on meter and his health.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Orbs: Ouroboros gives control of the screen and huge pressure while active. Sword normals: Strider has amazing hitboxes and good range. Mobility: Strider doesn't have airdashes but he has quick dashes, a double jump, and teleports to move around. Trap lockdown: With the right assists, Strider can force opponents to block indefinitely.	Paper health: Strider has a 125% damage modifier, a solid hit will make his health bar disappear. Execution required: Strider's motion inputs overlap in awkward ways. Accidentally doing the wrong teleport, wrong super, or wrong special can open him to a big punish. Strict team composition: Strider needs Doom rocks to really bring out his trap potential.

Strider kinda just goes flying around. The lp version is good for ending air combos in cases where j.HP or j.HP>j.HK won't kill. The lk version during orbs can be used to combo into his instant overhead and his hp\hk versions can be used to clip assists during funny bounces in order to land assist kill oppurtunites. Each has a unique purpose. Note, the lp version can create OTG properties with the right hit setup if strider can meet them at the floor.

A very far poke that can be canceled into orbs. Basically, its 90% screen. iirc, the lp\lk versions are the easiest to cancel into orbs. Comes out fairly quick. LK and HK versions hit lower, but arent lows. Kick buttons don't work while in the air.

Primarily, you don't want to do this move. However, it happens to every strider from time to time. Its unlikely you'll input that teleport perfectly every time, so its still good to know how the wall climb works when you do get it on accident. First off, once you get stuck on the wall there are 4 things you can do. You can hit P to slash at your opponent, hit K to jump off the wall and kick someone, hit d+k to slide down the wall and kick down and lastly, b-f input to sling to wall opposite of strider. the kick button used changes the angle he goes at useful tip: if you ever get stuck on the wall, you can use the b-f twice. Once you do this, you will be immediately released from the wall and you will be able to attack and call your assist as you're falling. essentially, when wall climbs happen, you have to try your best to out smart your opponent to get down safe. Strider has no advantages while on the wall. Everything has to be done in reaction to your opponents move. Since striders teleport is a staple point of his game play, this is something that every s\d player has learned to deal w\ over time because it happens.

Strider summons an animal that comes running in from behind the screen and the out towards the enemy covering the ground. Pretty decent hit box on this thing. Much taller than it appears and has a wide cancel window. Quick startup.

One of striders least used moves while ironically its his fastest projectile. Strider summons a tiny machine with the first sonic boom. Upon the summon, the machine will hang around w\him until you tag or dhc out, if he dies or he throws it w\ another sonic boom input + p. Can be canceled orbs for practical setups. Also can be used in the air but not really recommended. The air version leaves him in a very vulnerable state since it has bad recovery frames. Bad block stun frames.

Formation C
Charge

The bombs. A very useful tool and from my experience, its useful in all of his fights. Some more than others but very useful none the less. Can be canceled into orbs, average\great block stun time, horrible recovery unless canceled into. Strider summons a bomb from off the screen. The lk version lands next to him and the RH version goes 90% screen. When you summon the bomb, it cannot be destroyed. It can only be destroyed when the bomb has the parachute on it as its descending. The best feature of the bomb is its explosion animation which lasts for a quite a while. Even once the animation has totally disappeared, there are still active hit box frames for 2-3 frames estimating after that.

Striders best super. Upon activation, he gets 2 machines that rotate around him. As the punch buttons are pressed, each of the machines will shoot 1 projectile in the form of a ring. Depending where they are in relation to strider as the spin, determines where the rings will be released from.

Strider dashes forward and does a hit grab super. Nothing too much to report. Yes there are some setups but for the most part, you don't want to use this seeing how you need bar for his orbs. This is a fancy finisher but beware of the motion overlap with Ragnarok and Ouroboros. You can lose entire games off of this missed input.

To an extent, striders 2nd best super. Although, most of his supers are supposed to be used for his orbs, this super has very quick activation time. Since strider is often paired with sentinel, you can use it to dhc combo into hsf very easily off a magic series, s.fp
