How to Counter Ultimecia?

[kewldude475]

Kuja, Snatch blow, Remote Flare. I have seen RDF use Kuja to destroy an Ulty user with my own eyes.

But Sephiroth is your best choice. Spam the hell outta SF. (As most Sephy users will do anyway) Lightning can also be annoying for her because of Blizzara and Thunderfall. But She is just annoying in general. Choose a character with moves that spawn on the enemies location.

Kuja can outright destroy a careless Ultimecia. Snatch blow and Remote Flare gives the finger to Charged Lance. But when I heard Tabs said this in another thread...

You dont really have to change anything for Knights Lance in a way. Some match ups for Ulti, is better if she didnt even have it, like Sephiroth and Kuja. there are other match ups where Knights Blade is better then Axe and you can replace the ones thats not giving a good result for Lance, so basically swap between the attacks base on the character you are playing against.

This made my day. To think about it, Kuja forces you to be on defense.

lance has stupid priority.

lance has stupid priority.

Block highest to be exact. (for those that don't get out alot) That means that only unblockable and special priority moves can get through it.

In that respect there aren't alot of attacks that can get past the block, but then the spikes are only ranged high.

It's only "Block Highest" during deployment, else, It's Ranged High, but certain attacks disregard it like Snatch Blow or Valefor.

From watching a few Vids and playing as ulti. (And fighting some annoying ulti spammers ) there are times you can catch her off gaurd with attacks that focus on direct upward direction. She seems to have some difficulty dealing with those times of attacks. (I may be highly criticized for this, im no expert)

Lightning based attacks and of course SF spam are good at sniffling her barrages

Yuna is a huge @ss with Sonic Wings, if you can predict it, no problem.

Kuja is actually, super easy, just use Blade / Axe / Arrow ; Lance is sucky in that MU. Keep guard up for S Blow, otherwise, just keep away and play safe.

Sephiroth, yuck, SF is a huge b!tch, but Axe can throw him off, to be honest, if you can avoid every SF, you should be fine (Duh), but when he hits critical, those AST charges are BS.

Lightning, Blizzara and Thunderfall are annoying, but if you AST camp properly you can punish those actions, just don't let Blizzara catch you while you cast a spell.

You'd be surprised, but Shantotto. Bind has the same tracking as SF, once it is in the enemy's range, it follows them infinitely until it ends. Of course.. Bind does no damage, and you can punish almost everything that stems from it, you can even KL her Skillchain Link Glitch if she tries that, but you'd be better AST punishing.

Her main weakness is beneath her, no one has mentioned that, I think.
Really, Ulti player's main problem is not being careful enough. If they played perfectly, they wouldn't be defeated by some of those "harder" matchups.
