Okay, I don't think there's any way for me to win in 2 beats, so I'm going to throw in the towel. Very good game, Wolery!

See you in the

Good game!

I'm curious about what you thought about Tatsumi and the options she had in this matchup. I felt like Siren was the main thing you had to worry about, since it basically reads "dump curses for free", but I'm not sure whether or not that's on the mark. For my part, I was a pretty big non-fan of Overlord's and Malediction whenever they were available and made absolutely certain to work around them. Overall, though, I'm not sure how I feel about Rexan as a character. He has the movement and damage of a heavyweight, but I never really felt at any time like I was just going to have to suck down a big hit with no recourse. Maybe that's more because of Tatsumi than Rexan though? I dunno, how have you found your other matches with him (if any)?

Yeah, I was pretty much in fear of Siren the entire match. It's a nuts style by itself; free stun with priority! I feel like this was a bad matchup for Rexan. I've played him once before against Ottavia and won pretty handily (though that was an in-person game and I feel like I do better in those). It feels like he's just too slow and doesn't have enough maneuverability against Tatsumi. Overlord's and Devastating seem like his best styles, but both have drawbacks that are easily circumvented, usually to the tune of "I move away". Also the addition of Juto is kind of a headache. Every beat is going to the first page and going, "Okay, Juto is here...what does that mean again?"

So yeah, I think Tatsumi is the better character in this matchup, but I also think I was just outplayed. :v:
