I'm maining Ares and really like his playstyle. Obviously he's pretty slow, terrible backdash, but being able to teleport on zoners is invaluable. My question for better Ares players is, how do you best deal with pressure? Most zoners I have no problem but up against a decent batman, superman, doomsday, black adam, or wonder woman who can get in easily and apply a good deal of pressure I have lots of trouble.
It seems like what usually happens is, especially for like doomsday, even what I would consider average players can pin me down without letting me breathe. I can pushblock to get a breath or try to bait a dive and try to punish but any time I open up I usually get outranged and can't get out of the pressure. I've tried, like I said, pushblock, b3 MB, b13, d1d4, but it seems like ares is so slow I always get outpoked and I have no reliable way to get the pressure off.
Do I just need to really work on my blocking and learn the high/low vs every character? I block probably 50/50 but it seems like the characters I listed have pretty good mixups except possibly black adam and wonder woman who usually blocking high against is enough. Any help is appreciate fellow Ares players.
