LunaKage Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Solar picked up Noel and lives with Lunar. This matchup... .. orz ... So in this you rushdown with normals and pray you can get a clean hit? Keeping her pinned is hard. It's a hard matchup, everything is a risk when fighting a Tsubaki. Her DP may not be very good, but even if it trades, then you still get forced back to neutral, which Noel sucks at. Hitting D is even more risky against a good Tsubaki, because most of her normals hit us out of D, so even if they don't hitconfirm and follow up into a combo, the collateral damage you take can add up. A good Tsubaki however will turn all of those random anti-drive hits into at least 2k and knockdown. 5B just kills us, and 236X is a huge pain in our ass, since we don't have a 100% true way of punishing it on reaction, but if luck is on our side we can 3C it, 4D it(much more risky, but if you get lucky enough to land it you get 5k), and in some cases 2D will work. If the Tsubaki call you out on this they can wiff a full screen 236A and react to your wiffed drive with 236D for a punish. Basically the matchup is even until Tsubaki gets charge, but it's impossible to keep a good Tsubaki from charging. Drive isn't really worth it in the matchup due to the reasons I explained above, so you must MUST know how to use your normals and turn them into damage, if you aren't well versed in converting crouching its from normals yet, make sure you practice that as much as possible.
