As a casual watcher, Strider seems like such an overrated character. His combos do no damage, he's made of paper, his supers suck, DHC sucks, he burns so much X-factor time cos he still takes ages to kill anything. His basic aerial combo in X-factor level 3 couldn't even kill Phoenix. Seen so many games where Strider can't make the Level 3 X-Factor comeback because he can't kill the enemy team in time before it runs out and when it does the enemy team just breathes on him and he dies. Not saying he's terrible or anything but he gets picked as much as other characters who just seem to perform way better.
theres one player right on this youtube page that specializes strider and hes reaaaaaaaaly good with him....he dont just depend on x factor he legit has great strider swag and combos (cant remember his name tho)
16:25 both players were smart there. 17:14 Salute made a mistake there. 17:43 another mistake that work out lucky for Salute, he could have just team super to finish him. 18:21 nice dodge there.
