very nice, thats the kind of in depth advice i was looking for. Thanks

regardless, its still invincibility and its pretty annoying against pressure characters. Ive been watching the videos posted in the other thread and most of the matches with noel of late has tsubaki eating dirt orz thats an idea, i guess ill try that out when i get time

I sorely need help at this, I dont know how to deal with the plethora of invincibility noel has. It always puts a stop to any sort of pressure i can do. Backing off can only do so much cuz noel beats most of tsubakis moves so its hard to get in. Any ideas?

heres some replays of my matches I suppose.

If youre driving alot, that sets you up in the air. What I have noticed with playing noel is that she has really good anti air. Not only does it hit easily, it comboes into something that hurt. Nothing much you can do against her camping your body as you recover. When you get knocked down like that its time to play guessing games. -you can quick tech but you are going to have to guess if they are gonna do an overhead or low. If you have good enough reflexes you can react with a standing block as you see the overhead coming. -you can roll forward, most noels who just knocked you down with bloom trigger will be running towards you. If they did not expect it, you will past em and they will run past you. -roll backward, but you have to do it the moment they get close, because thats the time theyll swing at you. -just lie there and take the hit. A few extra prorated damage doesnt sound as bad as guessing wrong and punished with a new combo from scratch. Moreso, youd most likely air tech after one hit, which is safer give or take than teching as you get up from the ground, as long as you use your drives to run away and kill her momentum.
