Hello, i am new to the game (2 months) and my main opponent is valk.
I dont really know if my friend is way better than me at the game or if the matchup is hard to begin with.
first, i got a lot of trouble to space him due to wolf mode = instant close distance and free mixups. If i repel him with some 4C and jC it does light dmg but when it fail i can say good bye to 1/2 life if in the corner or 1/3 in mid screen and now i am cornered.
What is the general strategy vs valk? Seems i cant out-space him even at mid distance due to 5B_5C
I cant find a reliable way to pressure him because of his backdash, if for example he blocks 6A and i know he will backdash, what can i do to punish him?
He uses a lot of blockstings followed by the mixup 236A_B_C. I tried to find some options select to cover that but so far i only found that yukikaze before the 236A_B_C win vs B and C and wont trigger if he use A (because of the blockstun).
Is there anything else more practical?
If anyone got some knowledge or tips (except waiting for the next patch) you're welcome
