I actually started sitting down and mapping out the books. I've got quite a few, so it's taking time and the results may change as I continue to do this tedious work. While I'm not going to give everything away that I've discovered, I will give out some basic info so that people can get a general idea of what each character is good or bad at. Of course, if I gave everything away, I won't have the upperhand against those that I play against. :P
Today's analysis:
Surprisingly, for a character that has a gun, she's a damn good close up fighter. Her jabs and punches are pretty strong. Her skills are pretty decent as well, especially Blade of Fury.
Her boxing skills are better than her gunmanship, but if you manage to hit with Precision Shot, then you'll want to fire off another shot again, as she will get a bonus to her Pistol attacks. If she ever manages to lose her pistol, I'm not sure it's worth the effort to pick it up as she's got other effective attacks (namely Jabs, Punches, and Skills).
Because she's a light weight character, it's very difficult for her to get critical hits against powerhouses like Thor or Thing. However, Witchblade is nimble and hard to hit for any great amount of damage by other lightweight characters. And if you can avoid the big blows from the powerhouse characters, she can be quite hard to hit for a critical.
When a critical IS scored on her, nothing could be worse for her than forcing her to do no red or blue moves for the rest of combat. When one of these colors is taken away, she's severely handicapped, take them both, and she's in real trouble.
If she's taking heavy hits, her best option is to escape and regain some life back. Her other defensive moves aren't as strong, which is why I don't think it's worth it to pick up her gun if she drops it.
All in all, she's a pretty tough, if basic, fighter. In my opinion, she's a good character for those that are new to the game.
