I've accepted that I'm a zoner main at heart
BUT
I'm not a keepaway main
I am a zoner main because I want to force my opponent to approach and then stuff that approach

I started SF6 with Manon and even before I kind of decided I specifically wanted to play a zoner, I was feeling the flaws in her gameplan. Don't get me wrong, I love her 50/50 pressure game with 214K but,
I dunno I just want to play someone else?

Blanka just doesn't vibe with me on any level. Charge inputs, a gameplan I don't really like, normals don't feel good to use. Not an option.

Cammy is way too rushdown. She has no way to make people approach her. I like her normals a lot, and she's fun to play, but she's not what I'm looking for.

Chun is just too reliant on charge inputs. I guess I like her stuff in general, but FUCK charge inputs.

Dee Jay, again, charge inputs.

Dhalsim is a zoner but the most bastard keepaway zoner you could ask for. Not what I want.

Honda has a lot of sauce, but is not the gameplan I want.

Guile is the gameplan I want and has great normals if only he weren't a fucking charge character.

Jamie could be cool if he had remotely decent anti-air.

JP feels SO good to play when you're in advantage and FUCKING MISERABLE when you're in disadvantage. I am so... Close to liking this character, but the pieces that are wrong are very critical.

Juri has some of what I'm looking for on paper? But in motion I just don't Get It. Plus she's just Weird and Creepy as a Character and I dislike Her Personally.

Ken is my favorite shoto and shotos can accomplish what I want by virtue of being the jacks of all trades but it's like, someone could do this better.

Kimberly desires to approach too much. Next.

Hate playing Lily entirely. Next.

Luke is a shoto. No objections to him as a shoto, have discussed my objections to shotos.

Marisa doesn't have a way to force an approach. Next

Ryu is my last favorite shoto but he's still Fine. Shotos are shotos. Moving on.

Zangeif can't force an approach. Nope.

So there's like. A few even remote possibilities.
Chun, Guile, Jamie, JP, Juri, shotos
