Wesker
In a nutshell
Wesker is a powerful and fast character that focuses on his gun and his ability to teleport to confuse his opponent. Getting the hang of his movement can take some time, as his teleports move him a set distance instead of to a screen location or a location based on his opponent's position. He also has a super that can punish virtually any mistake from any angle, making him quite the force to be reckoned with.

Strategy
Tips and Tricks
- Wesker can get big damage off of basically anything, but scoring the first opening can be tricky. Use Samurai Edge while calling an assist, and use a teleport followup to close in.
- It is best to attempt Wesker's counter attack super, the Rhino Charge, when you have an additional meter to DHC into a safe super if you miss.
Basic Strategy
The basic goal with Wesker is to get into a position to cross-up with Phantom Move L or H, with your primary assist still available.
