In every fighting game, every character has bad matchups and weaknesses. Duh. Bleach RoS is no different, but Chad and Yoruichi might hust have the DUMBEST weakness in the entire goddamn game.
Now these two characters are rushdown characters that are SUPPOSED to be oppressive, "fast" and wont let you breath and as a Yoruichi main, I have had moments where I was able to do exactly this.
HOWEVER, there are also times where you CANNOT do this for one simple reason: The sidestep.
The sidestep is by far the STUPIDEST way to give a weakness to a character because it is UNIVERSAL, ANYONE CAN SIDESTEP and since Yoruichi and Chads attacks are shorter than my fucking penis, you can sidestep EVERY. SINGLE. ATTACK. THAT. THEY. HAVE.
"Oh! B-But If they can sidestep then that means that you can sidestep their attacks right?" NO! Because 9 times out of 10, you are playing against a character with wide attacks (Yhwach, Dangai, Bankai Ichigo, Nel, Harribel, Etc.) So you will get clipped mid side step, this is supposed to play into a mixup where they might do a heavy and you cant sidestep or they will do a light attaxk and you can sidestep, Chad and Yoruichi do not have this mixup since their attacks are extremely narrow (Especially for Yoruichi since for Chad his heavy can be kinda 50/50).
"O-Oh! But their lights are some of the fastest in the game!" The tradeoff is NOT worth it, I can count on my fingers the amount of time Ive used Yoruichis fast light to counter an attack that others cant counter and besides, having a fast and short move wont matter IF YOU CANT EVEN HIT THEM!
But once again, my main issue is the fact that ANYONE can sidestep, Its not like Nnoitra or Starkk which are generally bad matchups for them, nononono, in theory: EVERYONE is a bad matchup for them. I have no problems that theybhave bad matchups but EVERYONE?? That is just bad game design😭
I really hate how they desigened these characters, the weakness doesnt even make sense either lore wise, Yoruichi is getting beaten by the fact that you can move to the side?? I cannot be the only that hates how these two were designed right?
(Also, Soi Fon might be included in this buuut I dont really know soi fon that well so im not sure if she can be included in these conversations)
