Overview

The games dedicated and incredibly hated Zoner, Gunner is a fragile class that plays keepaway with his array of grenades, sniper shots, and a unique parry to keep enemies off him. However despite his zoner status, he can be played as a semi-rushdown using his high light gain and incredibly versatile Swift Strike in order to breeze past traditional wake-up options.

Playstyle

Gunner sits across the map and aims for perfect reloads to setup area denial

Strengths

Weaknesses

Area Denial: pine apple Unique Defense: His knife parry is unique in the fact its stun is similar to a Stagger stun, along with his invincible reversal having heavy evade frames and chucking the opponent a good distance away Bouncing Bullets: Doing perfect reloads enables his gimmick of Bouncing Bullets, which boost the damage and cause his bullets to bounce a variable amount of times.

Predictable Defense: As his defense is limited to "knife with guard" and "knife with evade", he has no great options to escape pressure against characters with guardpoint oki. Ammo Count: As many benefits as perfect reloads give, there are clear breaks in offense against gunners, and the reload can be abused to essentially hardlock the gunner into a state of knife or grenade, shutting down most options. Terrible Air Control: Has literally no way to hit any characters in the air due to a terrible Anti-Air in S1 Hold.
