Popple (BCF)

Popple (ポップル Poppuru) is a playable character in Bean Cafe Fighters, being a starter character. She was revealed in her own trailer and officially confirmed on the Cafe Fighters website on September 13th, 2014. Her appearance is based off the one shown in the series Battle Heroes X. Popple s voiced by Tara Strong in English and Rie Tanaka in the Japanese version of the game.

Attributes
Popple has nonsensically every tool in the game and can do almost anything thanks to her fast and strong normals, collection of special moves, and good mobility. She's the 6th fastest character in the game and also possesses a teleport and air dash.

Popple has a large amount of command normals and spell attacks, more so than any other character in the game. Popple's movepool gives her the coveted position as a Jack-of-All-Trades character: a great rushdown game with combos and mixups, a strong keepaway game with her projectiles, or a defensive playstyle. She even has average health and damage output to boot. Her normals also have great range, and her standing heavy kick is probably the best combo starter in the game. These positive traits make Popple a great character to start off with due to being able to succeed even if you only know one playstyle, but the key to truly mastering her is being able to switch up offense and defense on the draw when needed.

However, Popple has her weaknesses. While being a Jack-of-All-Trades character, she is also a Master-of-None character. This means she can do any playstyle good, but isn't particularly superior at any. While her damage output is okay, her meter gain is subpar. While her defensive game is relevant, her health is below average. Furthermore, her long list of specials and normals may make her overwhelming when first picking her up and very very execution heavy if trying to learn everything about her.

Nonetheless, Popple is a very potent fighter in the meta while still being relatively easy to pick up, making her fun for casuals, novices, and pros alike to pick her up. As stated before, she is probably the best character in the game and 1st on the tier list, having good matchup around the board.
