Lol. Your initial approach can decide an early lead obviously. Just, don't become too cautious or too careless. You just may eat an inferno divider. Some Rags haven't cut the habit of tossin' deadspike out during each of their pressure strings so it's punishable enough to change his mind about it.

Yeah and obviously don't become too careless about it. After all, it is still a two on one. I usually skip Ada and go straight for Carl. However, I do maintain a close eye on Ada as well. I don't know about bursting immediately upon being trapped as long as it isn't during his I think 3c?

I agree. It really is a bait-n-punish game. Considering all his zoning options it pays to actually pay attention instead of the common rush-down approach. I wouldn't recommend an ID unless you yourself have 50 hit, just in case. And I would've suggested tossing a well positioned or distanced dead spike out there at the right moment to catch the Houtenjin but that's just unsafe altogether.

Annoying as hell when you have no patience whatsoever.

Would it be completely useless to attempt to read -any- of her ridiculous cross-ups or approaches? Only thing I've been able to do is wait for the cross up in which she passes right through you to the other side and use ID. ._.

The woes of this match-up. I think I always get too impatient when blocking his pressure strings.

Baiting DP's with Deadspike is so much fun. Barrel rolllllllllll.
