Qubeley, piloted by Haman Karn, is the novel state of the art flagship suit of Neo-Zeon. As one of 4 Gameshark suits in the game, despite being a deceptively quirky suit, Qubeley's strengths shine in her ability to passively pressure her opponents with kicks, knees, and signature funnel attacks, including her super. While her super cannot be used as an effective punish move, it can be used to bait out opponents with extended pressure to keep your opponent on the ropes with cross-ups, and can safeguard you when preyed upon in the air, as her super can be thrown out in the air. With one of the most effective stall moves in the game, she can repeatedly throw out homing kicks until she is left spinning her opponent into a dizzy with vulture cross-ups until they approach, or until you plan your next move. Despite a high-priority beam projectile attack, she cannot rely on traditional ranged encounters or zoning to always net her the damage to set the terms of her fights. Instead she prefers to get up close and personal into opponents faces with her frenzy of kicks, sweeps, knees, and zone-breaking maneuver to turn the tides of chaos in her favor. Do not be deceived by this suit's limitations, its air-strengths and kicks are its biggest assets, and in the meta there is always room to clean up and antagonize when fighting to the skies.
Archetype: Mix-Up / Zone Breaking
Strengths
Weaknesses
Kick-Oriented Playstyle: Many of Qubeley's best normals and specials involve her kicks, which she has plenty of! From standing SK into Double Kick, a Knee Drop that can be used for continuous pressure and links into Somersault, she can her sweep. Her kick Bread and Butter combos alone can do about 50%+ damage from the ground or air if they fully connect.
Air Game & Stalling: Qubeley can play into many character's blindspots once she sails through the skies with Homing Kick, meaning she can stall indefinitely in the air until she is approached. She can double up this tactic by using Funnels or Super to extend her pressure and protection, as well as to bait out opponents before she can land onto the ground. Combine this with knee drop, and she has a safe gameplan in the air that makes her hard to contest.
Funnels: True to original form, Qubeley can cover her options and force trades using her funnels which fire twice for extended pressure and set-ups. This will help break you out of combos and keep you safe, especially whne you are in the air, where they can be safely deployed. However you cannot cancel into funnels from any normals funnels.
Anti-Air Options: Qubeley can punish many aerial approaches, allowing her to play defensively by harassing approaching opponents with 5SK, or Double Kick. She can repeatedly juggle opponents with Double Kick after she lands it once, typically until they dodge or boost out of it. She can put pressure on quick rises with her homing kick, 4SK (beware, it's situational), funnels, and her super when an opponent is OTG.
Limited Gun Ammo: Despite Qubeley having a gun that can beat out many common projectiles, she can only use it 4-7 times in battle, depending on the strength of the button. While it nets respectable damage, she must conserve gun ammo and cannot rely on it to keep her in contention during ranged encounters, meaning she will have to get up close to fininsh off kills more often than not.
Disappointing Ground Game: While Qubeley has some decently ranged normals, her pokes are not always safe, and she easily gets outpressured on the ground against many characters, meaning she will spend most of her time taking to the skies to set up for her safer advantage-states. She does not have the best mid-range conversions, and has to rely on what few BnB options she has for effective damage & conversions.
Slow Startup on Super: While her super can be good at baiting opponents, it is not too useful as a punish option due to the immense start-up, and can be counteracted by various projectiles in the game because it is a glorified funnel attack. While it can be used to put additional pressure on opponents, it has patient and projectile counterplay to it that can nullify its use entirely.
