Anti-Wesker? Use Trish.

This whole game is pretty much anti pheonix tech now

@ironboy89 x factor to kill someone who (despite the nerfs) can wipe out an entire team with little to no effort? Worth it.

@ThCakeIsALie While that is effective against Wesker, I wouldn't really call that anti-Wesker. Hidden missiles put a stop to almost everything, but there are ways past it and Wesker can still punish with a well timed teleport or dash in.

Trish theoretically destroys Wesker because her best place to be (above and far away) is also the worst for Wesker.

Hidden missiles are just broken and stop any combo, the only thing to do is avoid them. This applies to any character.

@panicave I just discovered a new anti-Wesker a couple of days ago... Put Dr. Doom on point and use an assist to keep the opponent away (i.e. Dr. Strange Eye, Dante lightning, Akuma whirlwind, Ammi ice, etc). Spam your assist and Dr. Doom's Hidden Missles.

So far I've locked down every Wesker player. The minute he came in I comboed off the assist.

I like the mind games involved in this. In a match against Raahsan MarlinPie did this to the second character and then team supered phoenix as she came in and killed her with the mix up. The second match he tried this on phoenix but Raahsan only side exchanged the second after X factor. At a high level of play this is a 50/50. If the player knows about this side exchange X factor tech they may wait for the second side exchange after X factor. But you might only throw one side exchange :)

anti pheonix? simple pick dr strange

Wesker has one spot on the screen he cannot attack. Above him, full screen distance. Trish takes full advantage of this spot, leaving Wesker with very little options. Not to mention traps to stop his teleport game. And she generally can use all of her options while Wesker cannot. The can be said about Spider-man, honestly.

@panicave As a long time Trish user, I am intrigued. Could you elaborate?
