Overview
Zappa is one of the most unique characters among Guilty Gear's strange cast, possessed by a myriad of spirits that he utilizes to fight, although he's really just some poor sap of an exchange student from Australia.
Each of Zappa's summons gives him a different playstyle and set of tools to work with, from zoning, to spacing, to rushdown. Zappa's general strategy is to get a summon, play based on that summon's style, and gain orbs. Once Zappa gains 8 orbs, he can summon Raoh, inflicting lethal levels of damage for about 15 seconds! Zappa players will have to learn the ins and outs of each of his playstyles, resulting in Zappa having five times as many matchups as normal characters.
Strengths
- General - Lots of low profile moves, including dash. Variety of overheads. Excellent Backdash. FB and Overdrive can get Raoh quickly.
- Naked - Summon has high invincibility. 2H is versatile.
- Sword - Amazing Mixup potential (half-full screen overheads and lows). Decent damage output. Ranged normals. Full screen knockdown tools.
- Dog - Unblockable setups. Potentially infinite damage and pressure. Great cover and defensive options.
- Triplets - Great zoning options. Controls a ludicrous amount of space. Decent pressure.
- Raoh - Ludicrous damage. Excessive range and speed. Great cover and poking tools.
Weaknesses
- General - Overall poor Anti-air. Only reliable reversal costs meter. Requires excessive matchup knowledge.
- Naked - Terrible damage and range. Near worthless without a summon.
- Sword - Linger can screw up your combos. Extremely limited options if opponents get past sword.
- Dog - Higher execution requirements than other summons. Zappa loses knockdown tools in some matchups.
- Triplets - Slow moves. Poor damage. Random item drops can screw up your combos.
- Raoh - Very limited mixup. Zappa's poses make him vulnerable. Only lasts 15 seconds.
