*''' | *'''Swordmaster''': Cowboy sports fairly strong neutral options, with attacks possessing large range, and high damage, as well as one of the best anti-airs in the game in [[Image:YH_Icon_BackSlash.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#BackSlash|Backslash]]. If you can force the opponent to play on your terms, and respect your buttons, you can push Cowboy's advantages to the maximum. | ||
*''' | *'''Disjoints''': Cowboy's sword allows him access to a significant amount of disjoint on almost all of his attacks, letting him safely threaten buttons where some other characters might not have many safe options, or even any at all; in addition to giving Cowboy plenty of space to make his attacks Burst safe. | ||
*''' | *'''Gunslinger''': Cowboy's gun can almost play neutral and do setplay for him. [[Image:YH_Icon_Shoot.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Quickdraw|Shoot]] already threatens a massive range incredibly quickly, and a [[YomiHustle/Glossary#Knockdown|hard knockdown]], on top of that. Cowboy also has access to various ways of manipulating his Bullets through ricochets, [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]], and [[Image:YH_Icon_Rift.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Rift]], with [[Image:YH_Icon_TemporalRound.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Temporal_Round|Temporal Round]] furthering more Bullet shenanigans. Bullets grant Cowboy a near endless amount of options for blockstings, pokes, zoning, traps, pressure, combo extensions, combo breakers and even more multi-purpose setups. It even allows cancelling most of your sword normals into Gun Stance, as long as you have at least one Bullet. | ||
*'''Teleports''': | *'''Teleports''': [[Image:YH_Icon_Teleport.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Teleport|Teleport]] and [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]] grants Cowboy nearly unmatched repositioning and area control compared to the rest of the cast, allowing for tricky escapes, impressive threat range in neutral, and incredibly consistent combo routes, as long as Cowboy has the Meter, or the time to set it up. | ||
|cons= | |cons= | ||
*''' | *'''Straightforward Threats''': Cowboy can threaten a lot of overall space with his sword, but singular moves can only cover a small portion of that. Cowboy often lacks multiple good overlapping options inside of his range, making attacks easier to predict, and avoid. Cowboy also lacks any [[YomiHustle/Glossary#OTG|OTG]] options, making [[YomiHustle/Glossary#Knockdown|soft knockdown]] [[YomiHustle/Glossary#OTG|okizeme]] harder to safely perform, and possesses only a single meterless low. | ||
*''' | *'''Trouble Approaching''': Unlike Wizard or Ninja, who have several projectiles that continually threaten space after use, Cowboy has a constant commitment to actions, using [[Image:YH_Icon_CowboyDash.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Dash|Dash]] to get around Cowboy's slow movement speed, setting up [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]] or attacking, trying to play keep-out, Cowboy has to make tradeoffs, as [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]] doesn't often remain useful for many turns, struggling with maintaining threat, and restricting the opponent's options as Cowboy makes an approach. Due to this, the opponent often gets to dictate the pace of the match once Cowboy is on the backfoot, a state Cowboy struggles turning around. | ||
*''' | *'''Struggles at Close Range''': While not lacking a 4f Jab like Wizard does, Cowboy lacks any fast buttons to cover the distance between [[Image:YH_Icon_Pommel.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Pommel|Pommel]] and [[Image:YH_Icon_HSlash.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Horiz._Slash|Horiz. Slash]], and lacks a way to effectively run away and maintain spacing, as [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]], [[Image:YH_Icon_Teleport.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Teleport|Teleport]] and [[Image:YH_Icon_CowboyDash.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Dash|Dash]] cannot be used to retreat very far, and crossing through an opponent might backfire, putting you even closer. Cowboy is either near glued to the spot he occupies, or struggling to make meaningful threats while moving, and starts to fold to pressure, especially when faced with heavy rushdown, such as against [[YomiHustle/Mutant|Mutant]]. | ||
*''' | *'''Bullet Reliant''': Bullets are incredible, ''absolutely fantastic'', but unfortunately, Cowboy didn't bring any extra; you are stuck with 6 Bullets. They are only enough if you can make them enough, and wasting even a single one can feel very punishing. Without them, Cowboy loses access to Draw Cancelling, [[YomiHustle/Glossary#Knockdown|hard knockdowns]], [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]] loses its Bullet manipulating utility, approaching becomes even harder, and he becomes more reliant on riskier, less rewarding strategies. | ||
*'''Meter Reliant''': Teleport glues your combos and neutral movement together, along with [[Image:YH_Icon_TemporalRound.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Temporal_Round|Temporal Round]] allowing access to passive, delayed defense and offense. Without Meter, Cowboy has to deal with restrictive movement, a reliance on [[Image:YH_Icon_Foresight.png]] [[YomiHustle/Cowboy#Foresight|Foresight]], and his limited quantity of Bullets to start meaningful offense. | |||
