I Dont think ive ever seen a deck built for her or anyone talk about her in post anywhere i think there might be one in the deck building forums but is she really that bad or does everyone just not want to play her?

If i had one i think id try to build her but i dont and i cant get a hold of her....

Anyone have any ideas for a good deck with her or reasons why she isnt being used?

Mega Spike is gone.

True but there has to be a way to make her good....

Lets look at some of the things i can think of that makes her at least playable

Any 5 damage throw cant be half blocked or they will just take 3 anyways.

She has 7hs and well all know how popular that can be.

She has potential to make an extra attack when needed and at the end of an attack string that can be 5 extra damage.

She has 2 really good symbols IMO in Death and Chaos(some could agrue death is at the top right now)

Target X built one, but since he's not exactly a forumite his deck will never be posted. If he bothers to work on the goddamned thing it could be good.

Sandstorm Throw, Flooded-Nile Throw, Crushing Embrace of the Jotun, Swing Kick, Lowdown Neb, Evil Mist with Brooding, hell even Double Face Kick. Tekken Forces gets you foundations to use with her F (so the card doesn't get removed from game). Eisserne Drossel gives speed. Devil Gene stops damage reduction in the staging area.

To answer the OP's question? No freaking clue. It's not like Death has a lack of playable foundations or assets at the moment, either.

I really wish i had one so we i could see what kind of potential she really has

So what would her foundation base look like since we know what the attacks and even the assets(Drossel, forces, maybe path)

I think Death at the moment has a lot of anti-meta. The first thing I'd personally do is include some of it. Perfect Sense of Balance, Ka Technique, Undisputed Ruler, maybe even Dead for One Thosand Years (or at the very least sideboarding it).

With all that momentum, Flexible Body + G-Corp Leader are a good idea. Block a 75 speed attack by losing 2 vitality, discarding a momentum and making a 5? Sure.

Damage pump via Ragnar support is basically pointless in her (since her whole deal is burning you for what the full damage would be anyways), but Brooding may help against damage reduction. Maniacal Laughter is a good choice, especially if you plan on using Double Face Kick and need last minute momentum (not so much otherwise).

Path of the Master is obvious in her, and even more obvious if you're using Kazuya attacks for more damage output on the Path. If you're going the Path way, it's a good idea to also use Evil Mist. If you use Brooding on it, it's 3H1 (whoop de doo, right?) but it has Stun:2 and an additional burn if it's not blocked. So if it's half-blocked, they take 3. Not blocked, they take 5. And that's without Path, and Evil Mist shares two symbols with her.

Was she officially released? I've never seen her (other than online stores/auction sites, etc.).

She's the box topper for shadowar starters...

I threw together a rather wacky build off of Chaos , using most of Zi Mei** 's stuff, mostly because she gets extra punch out of the attacks (with her, an unblocked Wheel Kick is -3 HP, First Rite and Second Rite come in for 5 each, and a Multiple: 3 Fury of the Ancients robs the opponent of 20 HP without you having to do anything). Kind of gimmicky, but rather fun to play.

dutpotd said:

Oh snap, that's why we've never seen her, lol! Thanks, dude.

yeah i was thinking thats why i hadnt seen many becuase as far as i know theres only 2 or 3 floating around my store and thats between 10 or so people but i keep seeing cassie over and over so it cant be that

on another note if anyone has one for trade id love to try and get it from you

Padma has alot of potential, that much is true. But it is going to take a unique build to make her into something nasty, IMHO. We might see something intriguing during the city championships or next year during regional season. Hell, we will have to 2011 to play Padma. Should be some good ****.

I think as far as Death goes, she's simply outclassed by Tira. Sure, she can make her throws do 5 damage every time, but Tira can make 3 Spinning Demons (+Merciless Fighter), or 2 Lawnchairs, or.... not to mention psuedo-Ibis Minuet, and the best lifegain in the format (on Gloomy and Jolly Sides respectively)

I JUST bult one last night, she does exceedingly well for herself. I haven't been able to use her F due to forgetting to use it, and getting swamped in my card pool from spamming multiples and counting to three. She works extremely well, and even just throwing out third rite on its own works very well because if your opponent tries to half block, they take 5. The multiple throw of Kazuya's is extremely useful as well, since it's essentially unblockable.

Personally, I really like her off Chaos, since I get access to some really fun stuff including +1 to all my checks, which really helps for all of my piddly little attacks.

It's your standard beat them in the face deck, use small spammy attacks to deal 3 or less then burn for two. With the proper hand a little luck a fully multipled third reich can be achieved on turn one.

I'l eventually take it apart and try to improve on it.

Can I just point out that you listed "Solitary Assassin" twice? You can't run 8 copies of one card.

KawaiiMistress said:

No no, he listed Solitary Assassin, and The Solitary Assassin.

Totally makes all the difference =D

PM me, I've still got the one I won at the pre-release for trade. Though possibly only until UK Nats...

I built her when she first came out off of Chaos. I haven't done much with her since early rotation but my old Padma deck pretty much revolved around her R, N-Type, KoF2006, Fury of the Ancients and Autumn's Kiss. I may try to do something similar if I can get my hands on more Zephyrs...

ShadowDragon said:

that doesnt sound half bad now that there is some momentum gen in the new set

Im seeing all these different tactics that could be use but noone seems to want to build her

I'm considering building her, although I need to go through my binders and see what I have available.
