SG-K doors? no, not just doors? he's got huge pokes with long recovery. There's a few you can roll through to get in. I've also discovered the rifle stance is great on the defensive because he's so floaty. He has a hard time avoiding the shots.

I respectfully disagree with you. I almost feel like claiming that you simply haven't fought a good faust, but I can't be sure. Faust is good because of his pokes. That much is true, but your answer to them made no sense. If some one has amazing neutral, you don't play defensively. Thats the exact opposite of what you need to be doing. Staying back and letting faust throw out items, open doors, poke you down, and mix you up is pretty bad advice. You need to get in his face, period. He has bad defensive options. He has no real DP, an ok anti air, and overall no real way to get away from you, or get out of the corner. Btw using SG stance to get in from neutral isn't "Dumb unsafe shit" this is what baffles me. Like you've never even tried it. SG K has invul pretty much the entire time. The only weakness is you can be thrown. Roll his pokes, then SG-S. This isn't unsafe. +3 ISN'T UNSAFE, infact thats not just un-punishable, thats positive. Maybe go read some frame data before calling things unsafe. Nothing in the shotgun stance is unsafe, unless you trying to throw and you whiff of something. Faust waiting for you to mess up in neutral is his wet dream? then why are you suggesting people to stay in neutral. Rush him down.

Wow, thought it was just me. I totally agree with you about chipp and ky. Ky seems to just destroy me in neutral. No matter what I try to do, his normals are just better. He has a good dp, a good anti air, good everything. So your basically forced on the defensive, waiting for him to make a mistake. Which can suck against a good one. As far as chipp hes so fast, with so many tools that my grenade is useless, because he just teleports and hits me, and he's in my face hitting me before I can even setup footsies, and elphelts defense is terrible. Btw ramlethal is a bad match up as well. Her best neutral poke, is 9 frames. Ours is 9 as well, which just causes a clash. If you want to beat her poke at the start you have to do 2s, which actually whiffs, and she recovers faster and then your already screwed. IAD backwards? screwed. All your doing is giving her time to setup. Your best option is to rush her down. But she has ways to stop you quite easily. Overall ramlethal is a broken piece of shit. To me the problems characters regardless of tier are: Faust Chipp Ramlethal Ky Bedman(i fought a really good one yesterday, and couldn't do anything. Elphelts grenade just becomes a way to teleport behind her) I want to also say Zato simply because we have no way to get out of his pressure once the rape train has started.

For me this is a really hard match up. His neutrals seem to stuff out any move you try to poke him with. If you try to play defensively, it also goes bad. Rifle stance? He will open a Door in response. Loading a berry and tossing it? Door. He has an Air move where he comes at you very slowly with a spinning attack and it ignores your c.S. Your best best is to be in your shotgun stance. Pressure him down, don't play footsies, and don't play defensively. If you stay in shotgun stance, you can roll his pokes, and maybe land a S-S > S-HS and run him down into the corner. Either way, I feel like this is a terrible matchup.
