Who is your main and how do I beat you?

[TSS Terror]

This is funny lmao

shit gets me every time. Friend who goes to the same monthly as me mains royal storm.

 

[Mitsuownes]

Well Kang doesn't have an infinite on you. 7 frames trade, 6 gets out. Poke after MB flying kick.

After he blocks it, it starts again all over.

And I was speaking about plus frames, Johnny for example.

 

[Enigma642]

Venomous D'vorah

Armor through my follow up pressure after a connected spray. Don't let me keep mixing you up with 50/50s and string staggers. You can armor through 90% of my follow up options. I'll think twice before continuing my pressure next time.

 

[RoboCop]

Pumped Up Jax

He has trouble dealing with strong zoning (Cybernetic, Summoner, HQT, etc).

His restand is only +3, so you still have options in the corner. Safe armor is best, but low pokes can be effective as well.

 

[Somea2V]

After he blocks it, it starts again all over.

And I was speaking about plus frames, Johnny for example.

And if you have him blocking, then you have begun to manipulate his actions and can capitalize on this. Get him to respect your poke and then go for your own offense on reading his block attempt.

And as for Johnny... play him. Put in half the work we Johnny mains have and you will start seeing the holes and problems in his offense that "OMG DAT PLUS FRAMEZ!!!11!!!" doesn't cover. You know, learn a match up?

 

[Jason Pls]

Main: Ninjitsu Scorpion
How to beat: Block low

See also: Cyber Kano

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Thank you op. Can't believe some of the shite I've seen in this thread already. I look forward to what's to come

 

[Tweedy]

After he blocks it, it starts again all over.

And I was speaking about plus frames, Johnny for example.

If he blocks it you should try jumping out instead, do D1 into yolo takedown or teleport, etc.

 

[ColdSpine]

Main: unbreakable subzero
how to beat me: let me ice up first coz im the best punching bag

 

[Crusty]

 

[ATP2014]

Tempest Lao

Backdash or armor after a blocked EX Hat spin.

 

[Mitsuownes]

Tried, got stuffed by b1.

There is no discussion about Liu Kang being a rapist, I was mainly speaking about chars like Lao, Johnny, Tanya etc..

 

[Wam-Zlay]

Reptile

Universal

Learn to punish forceballs

learn to punish forceballs on block (b1d4 forceball f.e. is a free combo punish)

141 => know the gap

learn to punish bf2 (it´s hard to punish, but possible). Also learn to punish slide and ex klaw / overheadklaw

Deceptive

Learn the possible invisible mixups from reptile

[starter] ex invis f412 [combo] - almost everyone will block this a lot because it is the best way to start a combo in deceptive and people know it
[starter] ex invis f3b4 / b34 - low dmg output but a low (this will hit a lot against people who know the reptile MU)
[starter] ex invis b1d4 [combo] - good mix together with f412, but invis will run out when you finish the combo
[starter] ex invis run b2 [combo] - low dmg output, might also get blocked a lot
[starter]ex invis grab - it´s still worth to grab after an blocked invis

Nimble

If someone activates ex Basilisk in the near of you - Wake Up, X-Ray or stay on the ground
If he does it far away -> shoot a mid projectile or a fast forward advancing move (maybe with armor)


Noxious

do not wake up when you see someone doing dd3 after a combo, because it´s probably safe

 

[darklightjg1]

Main FA Jacqui:
How to beat me: duck under the gunshots, play a character who trades better at long range or zones a bit easier, or end all your strings right outside of my poking range (which is really short for Jacqui).

Secondaries: FF Liu Kang, A-List Johnny, Ethereal Mileena, Warlock Quan
How to beat me with them: Just pick your main because I don't know wtf I'm doing yet.

 

[Kingshootahz]

Kung Jin: block low all the time and react to slow overhead options

Oh! Do I smell a rematch?

 

[Blade4693]

Main - Slasher Jason

How to beat me - Relentlessly pressure me and throw in plenty of mix ups/50-50s to throw me off, I wont know what hit me most of the time XD

 

[TackyHaddock]

Oh! Do I smell a rematch?

anytime!

 

[Tweedy]

A lot of characters are worse vs pressure than yours, all i'm saying.

 

[Renzokuken]

Main: Shaolin Kung Jin

How to beat: Pick a very strong zoner and keep me out for the rest of the set

 

[Sirjamison]

Main: Sun God Kotal Kahn
How to beat me: Play Sub-zero.

On a serious note: Sun God's mix up game primarily comes from tick-throwing. Just don't get caught out by that and block correctly and you'll do fine.

 

[Tony at Home]

Kung Lao

neutral duck grabs, full combo, profit

*neutral ducks in guessing a throw*

...

*gets full combo'd by Lao*

 

[Azxrath.]

D'Vorah.

Pick Tanya.

 

[Tony at Home]

I main all Sonya variation s.

Covert Ops
Opt to backdash instead of blocking low on oki. Her b33 has awful recovery and many can actually punish on backdash. You can backdash it even if she runs up to your corpse on HKD.

If you block low you have to deal with MS and are still in trouble.

(Sorry Erron Black and Kenshi)

Special Forces
Forward run counters mid screen low drones

Demolitions
Do not do delayed wakeup in the corner. She can't safely reload after 2134 otherwise.

 

[BoromiRofGeo]

ermac - you can play with me only on steam.
how to win: wait until i either panic or lose patience and do wrong teleport read then punish for 45%. do this two times.

 

[Tony at Home]

Wow. Most of these responses are crap.

Just ask yourself:

What is something people are not doing against you- but you find yourself doing all the time in a mirror?
