It seems to me that problem vs problem solver isn't a character thing, it's a match-up thing. In a matchup, you're the problem if you can throw out an option or force a gameplay and it's on your opponent to figure it out. They're calling Steve and gnw "problem characters" because they have very "I'm a problem" heavy matchup spreads, and they're calling Cloud a problem's problem because his bair is an option that a lot of characters with very "I'm a problem" heavy matchup spreads have to problem solve.

I feel like it’s basically just problem chars are “ignorant.” They just kinda spam the problem moves/situations and make the other player deal with it. Solvers can’t do that. They’re more honest and have to work around the issue. So yeah, I basically feel like it’s just ignorant vs honest.

What Marcus said at the beginning resonates with my opinion towards Ult. That said, the whole problem vs problem solver doesn't make much sense to me in the context of a fighting game. I think what Lima is getting at is that Ult characters have such strong game plans that there's little to no reason to deviate from them despite whatever matchup is presented (player or character).

I feel like this question just boiled down essentially to fundies characters vs “cheese” characters
