Airk Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 The parry only bugs me during 5CC. For example I'd IB 5CC and then go in for pressure. Then they'll start doing 5CC - parry, and btw, I only went in for pressure because I have this continuous thought that I can punish it on IB but I'm always proven wrong. Apart from that you shouldn't really worry about the parry unless you're predictable. The parry loses to lows. Yeah; This means you just need to try to punish with a low. Does anyone know if parry is low hitting attacks, lower body attacks, or non-head/body attacks? You're slightly ok at neutral. She has 5B to beat ours at max range I think; she has 3C to use if you're getting predictable and she could use asteroid vision to jump in. You shouldn't get too focused on charging at this range. You'd want to either find ways to get in, or get out. I'd have to test this, but I feel like these two attacks are VERY similar in range. And they're identical in startup. From far you should be fine, but the only problem you have is comet cannon. If you block it you usually give time for Makoto to come in and rush you down, especially if you jump and block it. You can easily get over this by reacting with an air dash and getting a hit with JC - combo. Obviously she won't always shoot it, or even shoot it that far so you gotta keep an eye out. And whatever you do, don't get hit by it. It leads into a hilariously painful combo even midscreen. Watch out for resets she can do too during asteroid vision, and as a matter of fact you should always block high after the 1st hit. You'll block the overhead if they do it, and unless they slightly delay the low or RC after the hit, they can't combo from it (but the latter still puts you in a defensive position). Oh? She can't combo off the low? Excellent. I HATE that she basically gets free mixup off this move. This is another matchup I'm not particularly fond of, and I definately don't think it's in Tsubaki's favour. Tsubaki only has the tools in this matchup to get in, and she can't even afford to try to keep her out with 5B. Makoto does more damage, better pressure, possesses good oki in the corner. The Makoto matchup, for me, is a lot like the Ragna matchup - it's a question of who has better spacing and air footsies. Oh, except Makoto can do 2k in the corner off her freaking counter assault. WTF?
redsilversnake Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Oh, except Makoto can do 2k in the corner off her freaking counter assault. WTF? That's nothing new. In CS1, Valkenhayn could get at least 1.7k from a CH CA midscreen. Anyway, good stuff, Kiba. I didn't know her parry lost to lows (though I really should've figured), so I'll have to keep that in mind for future matches.
