 The strengths: Easy to learn, solid all-rounder, good specials. The weaknesses: Everyone knows it, easy to predict, generally poor basic attacks. To be blunt the jaguar is one of the better bots to beat up new and/or unskilled players with, it's possibly the worst bot you can use against a good/experienced player. The strengths: Easy to learn, solid all-rounder, good specials.

-The Shadow tier, this is where the poor Shadow is placed because it unfortunately just doesn't work as it should. This is the place for bots that just doesn't work as they where designed, and honestly needs its entire moveset/specials changed and/or re-designed in order to be viable.+The Shadow tier, this is where the poor Shadow is placed because it unfortunately just doesn't work as it should.

 Poor Shadow, despite looking so cool, it sucks. Except for a couple of good basic moves like the sweep, the rest are pretty bad, and the special attacks are either too slow or too awkward to really be effective. It's one possible strategy is to abuse sweep, shadow kick, and stun the enemy and abuse the stun lock mechanic with Shadow Grab. Poor Shadow, despite looking so cool, it sucks.

 +===== Pilots =====

 +> Just a quick note on pilots (you can find more details on the [[pilot2]] page if interested). Not all stat combinations are equal, some characters just work better than others.
 +
 +  * Raven > Shirro
 +  * Christian > Ibrahim
 +  * Crystal > Milano
 +  * Cossette = Steffan
 +  * Angel = Jean Paul
 +
 +Agility under 4-5 is crippling. Low endurance is similarly crippling, and you'd want it at least around the 8. Ironically Power isn't as crippling as you'd think, and you can go decently low on power and still do a lot of damage due to combos.
 +
 +This means that the three weakest pilots are Shirro, Ibrahim and Milano. Cossette and Steffan are only a single point difference (power/agility) and I consider them to be identical. Angel and Jean Paul are essentially identical for all practical effects, and mostly up to preference.
