Clairen needs to be slowed down#27

The character with the biggest disjoints in the game should not also be the fastest. Either add end lag on her kit across the board to make her whiff punishable, or nerf her move speed (both on the ground and in the air). As it is, she is frustrating and unfun to play against.

She gets to cross shields from positions no other character can, gets to convert jab into killing combos from low percent consistently (even with good floorhug) and has very fast, very large aerials that also have very little end lag (or are safe on shield). She should not be able to cross the stage at the same speed Ranno does. She can afford to play on reaction while denying her opponent the same because of how safe all of her kit is. Please, this character is NOT balanced at average levels of gameplay.

She can actually cross the stage faster than Ranno can since she has a higher run speed than he does.

1. She does NOT have the largest disjoints in the game at all. Charged neutral B is not an excuse
2. She is NOT the fastest character in the game. There is a character that’s literally 25% faster than her and it’s Maypul. After Clairen there is Orcane that’s only 0.2 point slower than her. Why not complain about those?
3. She HAS shitloads of endlag in her kit. To the point her jab isn’t even safe to throw out. She IS whiff-punishable.
4. Clairen’s “large aerials” have loads of windup and endlag.
5. Ranno can slingshot himself to cross a full stage at mach 5. Legit best horizontal recovery by a mile. Let’s see Clairen do that lmao

She does NOT need to be slowed down. Stop coping and learn the matchup before writing misinfo on nolt
