Why would you poke when you have a 6 frame special?
Because the 6 frame special gets B3 punished right back into more pressure. Even if you guess right and 321 acid hand, Reptile's at -4 giving the advantage back to Cage. If you try to zone after an elbow dash knockdown, Cage can just wakeup Shadow Kick.
There's no point in armoring out of Cage's pressure.Reptile would already have a hard time getting meter.Also Cage has so little risk for the big rewards he can get for guessing right, Reptile is the opposite.
That isn't a 100% correct imo. It doesn't exactly have to be the best version of the character. I mean which characters actually have an unarguably best version of themselves? I mean people play a character differently and can both be succesful, for example tom brady and denzell's sub. tyrants and cdjr's jax. Pl's and forever kings kung lao. bwizz's and pl's raiden. I can definitely see a particular style destroy a certain matchup while the other style will go even or lose the matchup.

pokes and elbow dashes can both be baited, so its a matter of your reward, knockdown and 11% is better than reptiles d3 or d1.
Well now we're just going in circles. But the scenario was for Reptile to start zoning after the dash.Cage sees an obvious green slimey ball on screen and BF4 BAM! Hits Reptile in the face *Tom Brady / REO clap*
Then why do you aregue that the match is even? LOL
I'm not arguing, I'm answering your question lol.
well obviously you dont want to get too predictable. either way you can zone if he shadow kicks you full screen.
If you're not talking about the players that use the characters at their fullest potential, then you can't make accurate analyses. Period. There's little things that can shift a matchup in either direction, and those players are gonna be the ones to take full advantage of the little things.
Yeah and 31%~Nut Punch>11%. The risk/reward is always in Cage's favor.
My new sig lol. Look, I know about cage, I've been playing him forever. Don't tell me how to play my character. I'm just trying to explain things that you don't know about. and NO. Ex shadow kick send them full screen, if you techroll you get pretty much guaranteed footsies/zoning.
Your going in circles because its an even match.
It isn't.That's like saying Kabal - Cage is 5-5 because Cage can anti-air Kabal. LOL
The reason I said I wouldn't suggest poking out is because you suggested it in your post. I would never poke out, only dash. Really though reptile can only get out of pressure by dashing or EX slide but they both get blown up by a full combo into more pressure. Reading a block and doing 321 acid is decent but leaves reptile at a -4 disadvantage and JC right outside of f3 range. That right there means if you make a correct read on a block you got some chip damage, meter and are left in a pretty shitty situation, thats if you made the right read. If you're wrong you eat whatever pressure string into nut punch followed by more pressure.
Why would banning all resets be stupid? Im not contradicting myself, I didnt say they were perfectly balanced, its very balanced compared to other games. The game is pretty balanced, there are some flaws but that is remedied easily.
