Slayer vs. I-No

[Sophisticat]

I was very surprised not to see any vs. I-No thread, so I went ahead and made one. :D

Ok, so the local player is very strong with I-No. She seems to be heavily mixup-oriented and hard to deal with when she has you pinned down. My matchup knowledge is very limited so far, so I won't offer much as a first post here.

My very basic advice would be to avoid her mixup, backdash everything, front dash notes, and don't let her get in your face.

Opinions?

I-No's mixup has a nice little hole in it where you can kind of option select a 2P or a 5P and a low or high block respectively. So, as she is pressuring and going into the high/low dash mixup, try to sneak a 4P/1P (hold back for blocking purposes if the P does not come out.) in to try to CH her out of her mixup for a full combo. If she is doing the slide-forward move, you can easily see it and back-dash it.

Always try to just avoid/IB/SB her dive move. She can delay it and really mess up your anti-airs into combos for her.

Don't keep her out of your face per se, just try to keep her out of throw range. FD her away when she lands if you are uncomfortable.

I missed your reply, Mac. Thanks for the info!

I'll def. be using that option select. Her dash into mixup is so deadly if you don't counter it, so good to know you can poke out of it!
