Fighting Game TOC: Lightweight Division: Round 2, Match 2

[icymatt]

Welcome to my Fighting Game Tournament of Champions! Here, we pit the greatest champions from all sorts of fighting games against eachother and see who comes out on top! If you've participated in any other TOC before, you know how the basic rules work. However, for my tournament, fighters start about 20 feet from eachother. Remember, only vote for the one you honestly think would win in the conditions given (no fanboyism!), and if you need any information on any of the challengers, JUST ASK. Now to begin.

Ling Xiaoyu(Tekken)

Dojo(Street Fighter, Samurai Showdown, etc.)

FIGHT!

[Rando]

I vote for May.

May has a significant aerial presence that Ling , as a primarily grounded character that fights primarily grounded characters, will be hard pressed to counter. Many of May's attacks look like they would cover a wide lateral area, makeing sidestepping out of them difficult. Finally May's projectiles come out of the ground, maeking them dofficult to avoid.

[icymatt]

I agree. Ling's speed and poking will not make a difference in this match.

May for the win.

More cuteness than you can handle here. But yeah, May's mad beatdown skills with an anchor means that she's going to be covering a wider area than Ling's poking, close up style can deal with.

May to win.
