    Gruesome Newsom has that medium-punch-plus-forward 2-hit headbutt attack that you can combo into either his electric shock ability (spam any punch button) or face-bite hold (forward-plus-strong-punch, then spam strong punch), and his basic moveset gives pretty decent control of the playing field. Unfortunately, his lack of projectile attacks and the fact that his roll attacks cause you to take double damage if your opponent smacks you out of them, plus his overall abysmal speed, means that he’s favored by by beginners but is usually quickly abandoned by more experienced players who lament his lack of adaptability against more versatile opponents, like AOC and her AIPAC fireball spam.

        She’s only supposed to be able to have one on screen at a time, but she fires them off so fast that you can quickly find yourself pinned down in the corner if you try to block them all. And if you try to jump in closer, half the time she hits you with a light or medium Zionist Dragon Punch.
