AWKWARD ZOMBIE

But people do both of those things on a regular basis

Peacock and Double are always the two characters that give me the most trouble, but probably because I play close-up beat down characters like Valentine and Cerebella. Valentine does has ways to circumvent projectiles though with her air dashes and such.

Also, I continue to despise Marie.

Downloaded the Skullgirls demo last night and played with it for a bit. Pretty fun, but my god, why does Peacock have that good of a keep away game?

It's her thing. She has bad attacks upclose so once you get in she has a hard time getting away, especially if you expect her teleports. It's better to have an assist to help you get in against her. I recommend one of Parasoul's Black Egrets, the one that drives through the screen on a bike and catches the opponent - it's invulnerable to projectiles.
She seems really strong though, yeah.

Sadly the demo only has Cerabella and Filia unlocked. I figured out that using Filia to get up close then switching to Cerabella works out pretty good against her.

Ah, but it takes a lot of time to switch characters, and it isn't safe (as in, she can kick you in the nuts when you do it). If anything, get close with Filia and give Cerebella an assist like... Her Merry-Go-Rilla or her Excerebella.

Titan Knuckle is my go-to assist for Cerabella

Though I like lock and load because of how many invincibility frames it has

I usually run Cerebella with Valentine on standby. Valentine usually has mortuary drop although it's seldom as effective as merry go rilla since cerebella has no windup on the grab. Might change it to RUCKY standing medium kick for its range.

Wait a minuuuuuuuuuuute

Looked some more at the Skullgirls demo.

Why does Cerebella's command grab super do more damage than her level 3? It would make more sense if she didn't have any moves that put her opponent into a stun state...
