Manon is most fun vs people you nicer than. When you going against people as good as you or better, you gotta REALLY love playing neutral to enjoy it, which I do, but not when I can't use the tools other people can LOL.
Wait ya'll can dash across the screen at light speed and my character can't? Ya'll get pressure on knockdown and my character gets zero? Yeah fukk that LOL. Meanwhile Cammy is a walking bomb waiting to go off with the best walk speed in the game, great buttons and the best up close pressure the game has to offer. Marisa is always 1 hit away, has incredible pressure whenever she knocks you down, and big, hefty, active normals that have to be respected. It's like I'm actually playing the game when I use them vs my other characters (besides Chun Li).
I was never gonna main Manon anway. She was a challenge to myself to step outside my comfort zone and I accomplished that. Marisa/Cammy time now! We'll see what happens when the balance is updated. In terms of my low tier characters, I find Lily a lot more fun.
