My idol, my god...the best Patchouli player ever...
Is playing Meirin.
I blame Ric.
Maybe if he didn't lucksack that win in Tohgeki, Aruhori would still be playing Patchouli, and I would not be weeping in the corner.
Anyway, it's Aruhori's Meirin vs Moya's Godkari!
Both of these two did quite well in Tohgeki, but Aruhori's switched to the worst character in the game and Moya's using the second worst character in the game!
Who will win?
Do you still think Aruhori is the best Patchouli player ever? Just curious.

what if i told you that she DOES HAVE a hjc string? but nobody uses it anyway because she has 66a and 5a. Despite her good for nothing midscreen game she's hard to shake off. So when meiling's in she really is in because of her infinite blockstring. She really is a good character if you'd know how to use her and it still makes me wonder why you'd call her the weakest character. Maybe we should play iamp together.

Read the line more carefully.
HJC _RUSH_ strings. This is part of what sets her out from other characters. No character needs 'em.
And I came to this conclusion BY watching oxide and other meiling vids. Because, though Meiling might be the weakest character, it's really awesome when she wins.
She also has really sucky projectiles and damage, but that's another matter.
And by frameadvantages, do you mean just for stuffing or block-advantage?

pffffft meiling doeznt need any hic strings becuase she has frameadvantages with only her normals. i suggest you to watch more vids of comptetitive meiling plaeyrs.

Well, perhaps I was stretching it slightly. chinonononozu's comment was just really pissing me off for some weird reason.
But really, Meiling doesn't play at all like other characters from IAMP. She doesn't have any HJC rush strings or projectile blockstrings. I mean, she plays more like Chun-Li than Reimu. (That might be off; never actually played Street Fighter before...)

Meiling's absolute biggest downfall is her pathetic damage output, and that doesn't matter if you have a more thorough knowledge of IaMP than your opponent.
She's bad, but she's not that bad.

Have you even ever played Meiling against a semi-competent player?
Expletus1001 3 years ago
Yup, I've been more aware of that now (posted around the time I didn't even play, watch or know much about IaMP yet), but thanks for replying.
Meirin's considered lowest Tier anyway, so I understand why some Meirin players did horribly.

The "best" and "worst" characters are based on statistics gathered from a tournament. Meirin and Yukari players did very badly across the board, while other characters did extremely well across the board.
