If I tag socials, then this should be done for ALL players (without a single exception), and not just for one person. Socials of some players can not be found (players with default nicknames, some Asian players, etc). I am convinced that it's extremely dishonest to tag contacts of few people and not to tag all the rest, so there will be no social links in description.
But I respect the players whose matches I post. Therefore, if you are sure that videos presented "as is" are not acceptable, I will stop posting content with your participation and remove the ones posted earlier.

Slayer must be very proud of how much Testament has changed since the last time they saw eachother, they went from and edgy hermit to an elegant gentleman/lady who embraces life at it fullest and is open to any kind of new experiences and challenges. Too bad that improving as a person ain't gonna save them from gettin Pilebunked 😔

[@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301]

I find it a shame that Testament has been a weak character since their initial release, and even with the buffs, Gobou still considers them the worst character in the game. As for the Slayer vs. Testament match-up: I saw a strong Asia Testament player fight against I believe, a day 5 Slayer user; and it looked like a struggle for the Testament player, to be honest. The Testament user kept them at a distance with their zoning abilities, but once the Slayer user had meter or took their turn back, it was all but over... with a weak character like Testament, many top players have said that characters like her just get "out-stat-ed" - especially against a character like Slayer - meaning, akin to that of an RPG, where you fight a boss character that outclasses you in every way - with the higher HP and damage output they inflict Indicates that you have to attack them 2-3 times to equate to the return they get from attacking you just once. That being said, with how well Testament can keep Slayer at a distance throughout the match, I would expect this to be Testament-favored, but I can't bring myself to say that, because Slayer's return is so much higher than hers (I understand Testament isn't exactly a she, but I'm just going along with what many people seem to think)... the difference in power/return has to be demoralizing, and I feel bad for you Testament players. I apologize for the essay, and for deflecting from your original post...

@@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301 Nah, no worries, the info you drop over here is always interesnting to read, most of the times they are really informative and "educational", to say it in one way. And yeah, by my own experience as a Test main, the Slayer matchup is a REALLY SCARY one, not because being a hard one, but a really extreme one. It feels like the Chipp/Potemkim or the Axl/A.B.A. matchup, thanks to Slayer´s weak defense and poor anti zoning tools, Testament will be dominating most of the match, slowly chipping the vampire´s health, but they have to be really careful and try to not mess up too much because the moment Slayer finds an oppening, Testament is no more. And what can I say about Testament tier list position that hasn´t been told before? While I don´t think that they are the worst character in the game (That spot I think is owned by Zato) they are easily the second worse, not because they are a bad character, compared to SF 3Third Strike or SSB Meelee for example, Testament looks like a mid or even high tier character, they are the second worst because they are way too honest in a game where everybody has some crazy and op things going for them. I love Testament and I will never drop them no matter how bad they become in a possible future, but I really wish that Arc Sys could go a little bit more crazy during the moment of giving them buffs, I don´t think that giving them one or two overpowered changes in their movest would make them as good as Sol or Goldlewis for example, the meta shouldn´t change to much if they decide to use the imagination a little bit.

Testament will always be a man. No such thing as they and them. Can't believe you people fall for the confusion that the LGBTQ bring. There's only 2 fucking genders. It's not rocket science.

[@xav9793]

Every zoner should just be a resource character at this point, screw that bs if I gotta put up with your gimmicks and block for a whole movie's length of time you gotta be on limited time

But people complain about asuka.

There are like 6 or 7 top tiers in this game and none of them are zoners, you really want to make johnny even worse by adding a card limit to him ?

wow… testament so fun to watch so interesting… i find it so stupid that people can actually enjoy playing and watching testament she is literally just spamming fireballs

[@ikilly9713]

Indeed. Sadly test is kind of just spamming 2 abilities

[@HollowG8]

Their fireball game is so interesting because of their excellent 6P and the unique properties of their fireballs. Testament has powerful corner pressure, very good zoning, and a unique projectile that allows them to bolster their offense and close the gap unlike other zoners. Their movement is also extremely unique, as they are floaty and fluid. This allows them to control the air and ground while still having openings for their opponent to slam through. Imagine Dhalsim from Street Fighter if he was a lot faster and had more aggressive close-range capabilities. In my opinion, I'd say Testament is one of the more interesting characters they've added because their gameplan and "feel" is just so fun and unique compared to everyone else. Fighting them is fun as well, because their openings are clear yet still leave room for interaction from both players. tl;dr: I think Testament cool... They fun to fight...

[@sombersanguine6484]

5:11 6:26 Slayer is pretty much the exact same lol, when hes not spamming pilebunker hes 2H or using super mappa hunch because he builds tension so fast.
