i struggle against characters that zone/space well. Kitana in particular (ESPECIALLY mournful) i struggle against. Insta air fans in the neutral/full screen are a pain in the ass to deal with. Our anti zoning tools don't work too particularly well against her (from what i feel anyway). By the time i finally get in on her and start pressure she generally has meter by then to Armour out. we have to respect her wake up options and reversals as well (me as a player, i seriously need to get better at baiting armored moves out during pressure, which obviously could be the biggest contributor to my problem in the match up). Ive been playing and loving this character since launch but i honestly feel like this match up is 4-6. I'd rather play the lao match up than dealing with fans all day.
I dont really super struggle in the predator match up but rounds are so lop sided with him its almost annoying, if he can keep me out he dominates, i touch him once, I dominate. very much a back and forth match up. Still, lazers are super annoying to deal with, and because his d4 out ranges all of dvorahs normals, its very easy for him to check you with it on reaction when coming in. on a side note though, I think its silly goose eggs dvora can run under regular straight lazer and whiff punish him (i love doing this lol). Ive always wanted to ask and hopefully someone will answer me is dvora the only character that can run under regular straight lazer?
