Enter the distinguished gentleman and founder of the Raven Unit, Victor Chevalier, bringing his unique prowess to the battlefield. Victor’s standout quality lies in his formidable Counter Hit (CH) game, exemplified by his swift 1+2—a mid CH launcher with substantial pushback on block. This move not only inflicts considerable damage but also compels opponents to reassess their offensive timing.
Evasion stands as another hallmark of Victor’s skill set. Attempting jab checks against him becomes a daunting task as he adeptly maneuvers beneath them with moves like db3 and db4. In neutral exchanges, Victor employs a potent poke game and string mixups to overwhelm opponents, coercing them into making critical mistakes. Leveraging his stances—Perfumer and Iai—Victor transitions seamlessly, initiating offense and adopting a less committal playstyle.
However, Victor’s neutral game involves some high-risk, medium-reward moves, highlighting his lack of robust low attacks. Although his low options may be vexing, they often leave him at a disadvantageous frame state. To mitigate this, Victor’s heat mode enhances the effectiveness of certain tools, offering substantial rewards while minimizing risks.
While Victor excels in many aspects, tracking on his primary quick poking tools, such as df1 and db1, appears lacking and underwhelming. When attempting to restrict opponents’ movement, his tracking moves prove slow and demanding, leaving him susceptible to Counter Hits. Awareness and caution are advised when employing these tactics.
Pros:
- Strong CH game
- Evasiveness
- Intimidating Strings/Stance mixups, particularly in heat
Cons:
- Weaker lows
- High commitment in neutral, lacking reward
