Who do you think is Archer's worst enemy? The char that give me alot of trouble at the time is... Archer, lol. I try to mid-range and long range if possible some chars, but you can't do that aginst Archer bcuz... well, he has the same moves you do :P
So what you guys think?

Archer is a perfectly balanced character, except not at all.

What I mean is, he has a way to basically stop every single attack. He can poke at range with his arrows, 214C a charging opponent, and has more specials than any other character in the game. I'd say Archer's biggest enemy is someone who is not easily tripped, stopped, or has excessive forms of movement. Basically, Souchirou, Berserker, and to an extent - Shirou.

Some people with greater priority ranged attacks, like Gil's Noble Phantasms, Kotomine's Black Keys, and Caster's ranged grab can certainly fuck him up, but all he has to do is get into melee with those guys. He has counters, priority, and speed, so it should be no problem for Archer. He's pretty S-tier.

I think it is kind of appropriate, but I always found Shirou to be great against Archer. He has similar close/medium control, and his 4+B can stop/block/interrupt most of Archer's attacks. However, due to the master's lower HP, If Archer can get a couple of combos in (or that weird arrow that keeps coming back), Shirou's HP can disappear quite quickly.

Hrunting is good against master bcuz it does lots of chip damage, however, its not that good agianst Shirou scince he can regen the chip damage later =/
Assasin has been giving me some trouble tough, near mid-range fast atacks + ranged counter is a pain >.>

Ah, but if Hrunting hits you after you block it once or twice, even Shirou will take considerable damage. You are right though... Shirou is awesome!! :)
