- Opening Night: Many of Ghostface's buttons and strings are solid and hard to contest; of note is a 20 frame Overhead, a solid B4 sweep, and a trivial hit confirm with F21;
- Sequels and Reboots: B3, aside from being a respectably fast Mid, gives him a restand they can either extend into further grounded damage or just let it rock for plus frames in the opponent's face, his preferred position;
- A Gripping Narrative: Ghostface has a command grab that he can tick with and can also cancel into from his command run, giving him a free mix-up after the above restand;
- A Formula That Works: Ghostface's combo structure is pretty straight-foward and Kameos like Scorpion or Mavado create openings everywhere, including his command grab;
- Slow Pace Builds Tension: Ghostface's special attacks and combos also have especially long animations, giving their Kameo time to regenerate for the next opening;
- Now In Widescreen: While they prefer to fight up close, Ghostface has several options to harass enemies at long distance, including a full screen Fatal Blow;
- Critic Proof: Swapping identities practically allows them to tank a single hit; while they will take the full damage of the attack, it also makes them very non-committal in their approach when using the Assassin or Enforcer identities;
|
- Plodding and Meandering: Compared to other pressure characters like Johnny or Smoke, Ghostface's movement is lacking and their long range normals are pretty slow, making their neutral game rough;
- Lacks Range: Their fullscreen options are also quite slow and only the Assassin Ghostface has access to any projectile, so they're reliant on Kameos to contest at long range;
