Introduction
Erick hits hard in general and has one of the strongest zoning games. His projectile is the most damaging in the game, it is the fattest (read: difficult to avoid), and it always knocks down. The Thor Hammer is an unbeatable anti-air that cannot be air-blocked. Additionally, his normal pokes are excellent, and a lot of them have autoguard during their startup. His flying headbutt has high priority and does great damage, too. This doesn't make him sound like a B tier character, but he falls apart if the opponent can close the gap and pressure him. The Thor Hammer only covers a rather specific distance, and he has no good answers to air attacks up close. As such, he has bad matchups against a decent number of characters.
