Sorry for the whole necroposting bit. As soon as my exams are done, I'll find Accent Core, and I'll be bothering you guys in those topics. ^_^
What do I do about my friend's Baiken. He gameplay involves him just turtling the entire match and using the (Sakura?) counter, with the occasional IAD Tatami Mat.
There was a post somewhere that mentioned something like, HS-MC-Block-Punish. But I don't know if it's just my execution, but I can even get punished for stuff like that. I thought of trying low attacks, but that was quickly shot down. (He could counter those too). It's just a bother, and the whole 'zomg he's going to counter my string' leaves me just spamming HS's, trying to bait his Sakura Counter, and hoping I MC in time (which I don't >_>)
So right now, the only idea I have (in my head anyways, haven't tried it out), is to try to just 6K FRC grab. The thing is... I never really got the timing down for that >_>.
Any other suggestions on a turtling Baiken? Is it possible to punish a well placed Tatami Mat? 6P doesn't seem to cut it for that.
