What do you think? My bro says he hates it when I use her because he can't do nothing.

Yes.

Her f+A is annoying.

And don't get me started on her hcf+P.

Not really. Most of her moves have a lot of delay and weird/long ranges, but if you rush a Whip player, he's done.

Whip was only really abusive in 2001. Combo-ing her D grab with hcb+C was insane.

Not cheap, just a fun character with lots of range, kinda like billy at times.

Definitly not "cheap", she's to underpowered to be cheap. Fun as hell to play though.

She's got some mad wake up games off her hcb A/C and nice corner combos after f + Ax5.

I think she has too high of a learning curve to be cheap. I agree that here moves are often hard to hit because they have weird ranges.

Let's just put it this way. It takes skill and practice to be cheap with Whip. If you're a skilled player, then using WHip will come in handy. I've seen skilled people be cheap with Chang, and I didn't know that was possible :eek:

I find her rather weak and limited in moves in King of Fighters 2002...

It's true. She is rather limited in 2002. I find myself almost struggling with the joystick just to pull off a decent combo.

Tell your brother that every character seems cheap when you suck. Tough love...it's for his own good.

I've played fuckers who are cheap with Chang. It sux.

I've played against some people with her (Whip) that said I was being cheap, but they suck, if they knew how to block, it wouldn't be a problem, I'm not even very good with her.

hahah.
seconded.
whip isn't cheap,
she's just frustrating to play against given once you get caught
in a move of hers you have to sit through whatever move she's pulling off.
to new kids that's frustrating.
i don't play with her, but honestly don't find her that hard to shut down,
i've never really found a great whip player and the computer is usually pretty predictable with her.

I don't think 'Whip' is "CHEAP" or useless??

My 'Whip' is one of my most powerful female besides
'Athena Asamiya' and 'Angel'..............
She is very useful!!
Even Igniz will give up under my Whip!!

I accidentally voted For yes.:oh_no:

As long as shes not doing that annoying "teleport" move up and down where she screams like a monkey with down syndrome, she worthless. I have noticed SHe can be used for hella combos. I personally have no problem fighting her.
