Hate Speech: Character Selection

Oh. My. God. And when was the last time you even decided to show up a tournament? Let alone talk about a session? Dramatic -_-

Oh, you do exist! I see how it goes, bro. You ain't do nada unless I talk sh*t on yo' name, huh? Hahahaha... I did want some of your coaching. Mostly you would say something to the effect, 'It's Amy. You don't have to think.' LOL. I are disappoint.
 
Your primary concern when approaching character selection should always be finding the character that gives you, as an individual player, the best shot at victory.

Yet another Hate Speech article that is identical to my own FG philosophy. Once again, Hates, you are spot on.

I main Sophitia. When I first started playing SCIV I was a casual player and I had played SC1 and 2, with my best character being Mitsurugi, Sophitia, and Siegfried/NM. As I played online ranked and with my friends I won with Sophitia more than any other, since she is a braindead easy character to play at a low level.

Fast forward to now, and I haaaate Sophitia. I've been trying to switch mains ever since I got bored of only playing Sophitia, which was early on. No other character ever got close to the level of my Sophie, no matter how much time I put into other characters. I've also tried adding inordinate amounts of complexity to my strategy as Sophie, a character where that will benefit the least, in an attempt to make her fun. It worked out pretty well, but I have the sneaking suspicion that I'd be a better player if I just spammed BB and turtled like every successful Sophie player in the tournament scene.

In SCV I originally planned to play Patroklos, since the character is everything I asked for in aesthetics and mechanics. It's crazy how close they got to my dream character design. The +frame low kick, aGI sabaki, and his aesthetics were exactly what I wanted. Problem is, he seems really weak in the demo. I'd rather play Siegfried if he isn't nerfed.
