Isn't it over head low?I def need to learn to recognise his low/OH mix up because I do get caught my that a lot...............
Sorry didn't mean a dive kick, meant his ground slide................ got Sonya dive kicks on the brain.What diving kick? If you mean EX ground slide, it is very punishable on block.
For EB pressure you have the 50/50. If it's an overhead always block low on the second hit and punish a blocked sand toss. If it's low keep blocking low. He has overhead to low, low to low, mid to mid and overhead to mid so you never need to block high after the first hit in a string. His 21122 mid string can be cancelled into a command grab, so on a read try to duck it, d1, or armor through.
Yeah, EB is dirty. But. If you successfully block his first hit high or low, you can safely block low throughout a string. You can punish his sand toss and slide. His wakeup attacks are punishable too. He's pretty negative after a blocked 112 as well.Sorry didn't mean a dive kick, meant his ground slide................ got Sonya dive kicks on the brain.
Didn't realise his command grab could be ducked......... or D1.
I will def take all that advice in the practice arena and try to improve my reactions. I will need to start to recognise the start of his low, and his OH strings so I know where to position myself to block.
Unless caltrops are downTouching on what Fraud Blank said about the corner, if you see him press a button and can react, I'm pretty sure EX Dash will not only get you out but put them in the corner and allow you to combo afterwards.
How do Calptrops affect it? I don't think ex dash has armor to begin with.Unless caltrops are down
It counts as a hit so an added meaty should stuff ex dash. Caltrops with hard knockdown pretty much require blocking. I've done it but haven't tested to make sure it's not a fluke.How do Calptrops affect it? I don't think ex dash has armor to begin with.
But it doesn't interrupt EX dash, does it? Or regular dash for that matter. You take the tick from caltrops but otherwise you can get out. Hmmm I'll have to test.It counts as a hit so an added meaty should stuff ex dash. Caltrops with hard knockdown pretty much require blocking.

Yeah definitely worth testing out. I've only stuffed it in a match so timing could have been offBut it doesn't interrupt EX dash, does it? Or regular dash for that matter. You take the tick from caltrops but otherwise you can get out. Hmmm I'll have to test.
Well, like I said, I'm pretty sure ex dash doesn't have armor to begin with. It can be stuffed. What I meant by when they press a button is you can whiff punish with the dash and that will get you out of the corner. Now if you're talking wakeup in the corner and they're on top of you, no do not do dashYeah definitely worth testing out. I've only stuffed it in a match so timing could have been off
99% sure this is true. Only the EX slide and klaw swipe/pounce have armor.Well, like I said, I'm pretty sure ex dash doesn't have armor to begin with.
It is. I didn't realize he meant on EB whiff.99% sure this is true. Only the EX slide and klaw swipe/pounce have armor.
