I would also like to add, for those Striker players who aren't familiar with the types of characters in Strikers, heres a list of them:
Mario - Balanced
Luigi - Balanced
Yoshi - Balanced
Peach - Play Maker
Diddy - Play Maker
Daisy - Defensive
Waluigi - Defensive
Wario - Offensive
Bowser Jr. - Offensive
Bowser - Power
Donkey Kong - Power
Petey Piranha - Power
Balanced Characters are overall the best characeters, their stats are all equal. Their Deke involves just moving out of the way of others (sidesteping, rolling)
Power players have an excellent shot, and an extremely fast shot as well, but tend to be more slower than the other types of players. Their Deke involves striking players using ground attacks (punching, petey's head wobbling

)
Play Makers are quick and have excellent passing abilities, but have a very weak shot on goal. Their Deke involves jumping over players/goalies (somersaults)
Offensive players are very good at keeping the other team on its toes by having good shots and decent checking power, however they are slow like Power characters. Their Deke involves aerial attacks (jumping attacks), ( Wairo's Butt Smash, bouncing off players)
Defensive players are quick like Playmakers and are capable of defending their teams zone with quick passes, and sneaky deking moves. They Deke by Disappearing/Reappearing short distances on the field, which can be kinda tricky sometimes...
Side Kicks also have the above types, but I will post them at a later time!
