Q

Overview
Q is the god of the Third Strike low tiers. Well, not really. However, he is one of the most unique among a cast of very diverse characters. He is a strong brawler, able to deal heavy amounts of damage. Thanks to his Taunt, he can gain the most health in the game. However, the tradeoff for being a tank is that he is extremely slow. He has long startup and recovery on many of his normal attacks, which hurts him dearly in a poke and confirm heavy game like Third Strike. Though he can afford to make more mistakes than his counterparts in the lower tiers, it is way easier to make mistakes with him.

He generally lacks stylish combos, needing only to fish for short and sweet confirms into his SA1 or SA2. Many of his attacks are close to useless outside of poking, and you cannot be too frivolous with his strongest normals (his 5HP is -23 on block.)

Q relies on mind games, smart footsies, gimmicks and pure strategy to win. However, the wins he gets are not as cheesy as one would believe. Winning with Q against almost everyone in the higher tiers requires you to thoroughly outplay your opponent.
