Your Point is the first character that you select to fight in a battle. Because you won't have any meter stored up at the beginning of a match, you should not only be comfortable using this character but also okay with doing so without any attacks that involve meter. For this very reason, most competitive players select what is called a Battery Character to be their Point. A Battery Character is a fighter that can do loads of damage without meter, but also one that is extremely good at building meter for their entire Team to use. Characters like Cell, Android 16, Android 18, and Hit are some of these types of fighters.
