Martial art: Close combat


Character's techniques

Contrary to what has been said, Charlie can be played as a defensive character. Not quite as defensive as Guile was in SSF2T (the SF0 engine is more based on offensive playing), yet Charlie can "turtle" to an resonable extent.
Indeed, as Tom Cannon said, SF0 is really based on super combos strategies, but even when turtleing, you will use enought specials and hits to charge your gauge at level one or two very fast (sonic boom the fireball-ers and do small somersaults on the jumpers). Try it, you'll see it is not totaly imposible.
Of course, you are forced to play that way; offensive playing will work just as fine.

Use it often, and sometimes stop after the Crouch LK to do a jumping sobat. Confusing.
