This was like hitting two birds with one stone. I haven't played Wheelz that often (despite our fairly decent connection) and I have felt I should give Tifa more matches like I should have a long time considering she's my favorite FF female character.

You can see how I try to play Tifa similiar to Jecht with those Meteor Crusher charges. The dumb thing about this matchup is that Gilgamesh doesn't ever lose Meteor Crusher vs. Hurricane trades, he usually takes miniscule damage from the first kick and then hits Tifa out of her clash Gilgamesh protected himself with. As always I aim to position with jumps, quickmoves and dashes but hitting with Tifa is not quite my fortitude. Not yet. Wheelz "the Calm Sea" plays a good defensive game with Gilgamesh, being completely content with just Electrocuting me until I approach him and playing the poking game once I do. My reaction time is comparable to that of a snail in case those Whirlwind Slashes don't give it away already. :P

I feel it's a fun matchup. Fishing out Hurricanes with Meteor Crusher is one of my most consistent damage outputs, although Gilgamesh can assist punish Meteor Crusher on (teleport) whiff, Tifa is more likely to win core races, but Gilgamesh's ex generation is nothing to sneeze at. I feel Gilga (or it's just Wheelz) is also a bit better at protecting his assist than Tifa is in this matchup.

I could not possibly pass up on that one time I can have two favorite characters in a somewhat feasible combination and still have a chance to win. Jecht assist punish meant meaty Meteor Strike, but I still have work to do in protecting him...

Branching out with characters in this game is more fun than I thought. Lightning, Kain and more Garland are likely on the cards in the next upload so please be excited for that.
