but i mean doing the charge j.[c] combo if you just do the 5b 5[c] combo on conuter hit 5c its not actually the same... cause sometimes people will get hit by 3c non counterhit, so you would need that combo

It's hard but You have to man fight that character and get in. Jumping at him outside of pressure is going to get you blown up due to a lot of his stuff being air unblockable, 2C being a godlike anti air, etc. If you're being pressured, you have to be patient or guess right away. Don't try to mash out of his commandd throw off deep j.b 5b 5a stuff like that, just jump since it's almost like a true block string, you just want to jump out of it. If you know/think hes going to try to meaty command throw you, you have to man up and mash him out of it, do not rely on backdash to blow up command throw, you'll get killed doing this since he has so many options to hit you for backdashing on wakeup! If he doesn't have meter its all you, if he does you're gonna have to learn how to react between his grim reaper super and cmd throw super, if you see a scythe, block, if you don't jump. you really don't want to mash against him unless he does cheeky things. On the off chance if you have vorpal on wakeup you can cs to see if hes going for meaty tackle cs on wakeup and read the situation His air normals are pretty good, 3C has head invuln on the 8th frame, so you can deal with assaults. I don't know if you want to challenge them most of the time in neutral. Jump c, Dash C , and air throw are your best bets. J.C is going to lose if you're going to do it too slowly, air throw works if it isn't active already, dash c is kind of a silly anti air that actually works. In the corner you can't just forward jump at him to stop him from mashing supers like most other characters because you'll get hit by ex grim reaper so you'll have to be mindful of that. Don't try to punish slide if you didn't shield it, especially when he has meter, it isn't worth it. DP isn't that great of an option here. if you get hit by his bnb or basically anything into a command grab he can safejump you, outside of this situation DP is alright but of course still a gamble You have to stay in momentum in this matchup, otherwise you're just forced to guess Sticking outside of his 2b range is strong because he doesn't have anything appropriately fast to do anything at that range, his 2c is an antiair, and 3c leads into a dead end for him. they'll use something to get into advantage and gamble to force situations agaisnt you at this range, 2c or dash 2b may be good at this range. unrelated notes that are still important: Orie vs Eltnum Very fair matchup to me. Her gameplan: She tries to get you in blockstun and uses pressure strings to get you press buttons (frametraps) and disrespects with you using her 22a/b to continue pressure when shes conditioned you to block. In neutral: It isn't that but, she can be annoying to approach in cute ways by thrusting at you or trying to bait your air shields with her air persona attacks. Gun doesn't seem super useful, but if you can read her trying to thrust at you, you can blast her with a 236B, Whip isn't that important here either since the better orie players are going to be mindful that they won't be able to backdash for free against you. The problem is that her pressure strings are pretty safe, here are a lot of things you can't deal with even on shield, but it's worth it just to push her back and get GRD, on neutral situations close up, they favor her since her pokes are longer range and similar speed. If you end your string in 22a agaisnt this character you should block or backdash most of the time, she can poke out if you get greedy easily, mix it up with assaults/staggers/throws. Pressuring her: When you're on top of her in the corner its amazing for you though, she can't do anything about it unless she has vorpal, in which case you it's super risky to go for meaty if she has meter, just be mindful of that. So the trade off for her neutral being slightly better evens itself out when you are better than her in pressure. Random stuff: Get used to 5C,4C,6B animations, they're all similar. get used to blocking/mashing out of 6b. Get used to reading when she'll go for j.a chainshift stuff. Really sloppy 22+c she may activate you can backdash out of them, but be careful not to try to jump, you'll end up chicken blocking the super and proceed to die Run past supers you can jump over them and then she dies, you'll probably be seeing this more than her ex DP since the run past has way more frames of invuln Most persona shit you can't mash out of only the really bad followups, and after you block it you can't mash either cause she'll thrust at you, even if she backdashes after persona stuff you'll have to use ex whip since 214a wont catch it. It's generally harder to get opened up vs her, especially if you are really good at reacting agaisnt her overhead, so there isn't much incentive to try to mash out of her pressure aside from the orbs/overheads considering its pretty non-commital.

OS confirm off 3c? what do people do

said id post about this and i did some vs orie stuff, comment about it and give feedback. pretty long set , like 1hr + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC9bXbM1w8k

ye is pretty sick u guys know if dc is the only starter where 8j.[c] falling j.[c] is useful? i dont do it off 3c ch cause i just go into 2b or 5b

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IATYxx6u3mM&feature=youtu.be there

what combo do people do off midscreen 214a? WITHOUT CS cause its easy to pickup off if you have cs im doing: 214a > 2b > j.[c]. whiff j.a > 5b > 5[c] > 421b > 6 > 22b > dc > reload is there better?

I don't mind running UNIEL again, if you would let me.

idk when i tested 5a i got 5 frame startup active on 6th frame and -1 on block

word.

6B > 2C > 5[C] > 421B > 6B You're gonna get 5B cause game stores inputs solution?

testing more frame data right now yeah from 5c so 214a is pretty cool, on block from the top of their head its plus, but if they shield it its negative but doing it off 66b its always plus shield or not. i do see senaru use meaty 66b > 214a quite a bit in videos so thats pretty good oki, but there is a tiny delay imbetween the 66b and 214a, if you do it too early it whiffs, so you can actually mash shit imbetween the two like eltnums 5a which is pretty fast (like 6 frames) so you cant do it everytime but i think its still good if you think they wanna mash on 2a / think they will try to tech your meaty throw you / respect you on block time to start doin 214a > 2b

5A apparently worse on whiff than block (-2 vs -1) add me on skype too please :V. kaorimanabe
