Cheetah Balance Patch Wishlist

[kcd117]

She can get in if you play patiently, just walk your way in if you feel like you can never pounce. The threat of the blood lunge is enough to make deadshot think twice about using his projectiles. Once cheetah is in she gets overwhelming pretty quickly, one knockdown and you can take his whole lifebar. If you finish your combos with dbf1 a close lunge can counter almost every option deadshot has on wakeup. She also outdamages him, so once you have the life lead you can play lame to bait a low rifle and get a lunge punish. If cheetah makes a mistake she takes 15 to 25% dmg, if deadshot makes a mistake he takes 35-50% into oki. The damage output is crucial is the matchup, if you punish his mistakes you can potentially end the match in 5/6 opportunities. On the other hand deadshot can't really punish cheetah for good dmg when he makes the right reads, so the room for mistakes is much smaller for him.

Once I'm in his face I feel it's in cheetah's favor but what pattern do yall use to get in? If deadshot does straight shot optimally... I feel I don't have time to go into stance and 1 out of 5 times my lunge isn't stuffed. I inch forward until I'm close enough to do something and I have to stay in to win. One mistake and the whole process starts over again. Other players are making it sound like Cheetah has a win button in the matchup but no one will say what it is.

I'm pretty sure if you duck a high shot you have time to get into lunge stance. From there, it's a guessing game of what he'll do next. Releasing lunge would go over low rifle and low trick shot but lose to another high shot or close/med trick shot depending on timing/distance. Something like that...

Now, if people were saying Darkseid has difficulty beating Cheetah I can agree and actually explain why. He wins from full screen but if she closes in and a d3 hits, it's almost a fucking wrap for Darkseid since she doesn't have to respect his wakeup at all, and his normals cannot compete with hers.

People saying Deadshot auto loses to Cheetah without any explanation just makes me laugh. IMO he's got the tools to deal with her on an equal skill level, but if that Deadshot player is ass he's gonna have a rough time. Show me that win button, folks!

Darkseid is much harder than deadshot for cheetah. He does very good against her for the same reason deadshot struggles: dmg output. Cheetah can't commit to unsafe shit as much as she can against deadshot bc if darkseid lands a punish you are losing 40%+ health. What revet said might seem kinda useless but is actually the best way to explain both matchups: Cheetah has to take risks to succeed, and deadshot's low dmg allows her to risk more than she can against darkseid and his mixups.

I wasnt serious about that Lmao, I was quoting someone who said Cheetah needs to take risks in order to win. As if any other character in the game doesn't

Lmao even though you were kidding that's how I see cheetah's matchups against keep away characters, she does very good in matchups where you can take more risks to open someone up without worrying too much about huge punishes (deadshot, green lantern for example), and she struggles more against characters that can keep her out and punish you like a truck at the same time (like darkseid, worden woman).

I would like some grounded combo extenders, otherwise it's just kd into oki, which is fine for some mu but not others, could get a little out of hand with all her mb command grabs though
