I hear ya. All parrys really. It's a problem. In those MUs, I just become a max range sweep machine, and try to play even more patient than normal. Meh. There are always work arounds, even if they aren't good options.
Same here. D3's and throws. Sometimes i even use MB ES.
DD - Ares is 6-4 DD pre patch. After patch we ll see. It would be 7-3 DD, if NRS hadnt buffed his tp wake up. Ares has shitty mobility and DD can fully exploit that.
I'd like to add that NJ splash is always backdashable if you're reffering to D3/ any untechable knockdown unless in the corner.
True but a backdash doesn't put him into an advantageous position, it just moves him toward the corner, which is where I want him. And I can always react to the backdash with a d1. I'm not trying to put down the character or anything. I just know the match up is terrible. After the patch it will probably be a lot better for him. But right now it's ass.
You can't react to a backdash when you're already in motion, which is splashing. Almost every character can react and get away from any kind of NJ splash setup on reaction unfortunately. Everytime I see a DD jump on me as BA I react by dashing under them to escape the corner/witch sides.
No you're right, I worded it wrong. I mean switch it up and do d1 instead if Ares is backdashing. His backdash is extremely short, and really easy to catch with a d1. Adam is an entirely different story and can disrespect everything Doomsday does on his wake up.
About your last sentence, I mean jumping in general, jumps with big character last so long that they're very easily reactable, I also tend to do it with Joker by laying down a free set of teeth or backdashing. Generally, a jump that is not guaranteed or almost guaranteed is basically free shit for about every char in the game to abuse.
The trait thing is kind of ass IMO, it's extremely spacing specific. Keep in mind that right after Tom "found" that tech, he got blown up by Noobe at TFC. Aqua's footsies are good, but you have almost the same range as them with your d1, in fact I think it is the same range. So he has a hard time playing footsies with you. If you have trait you can go in pretty hard as long as you're not being dumb about your rushdown. You can actually punish trident rush on block from certain distances too. Other than that, once you knock him down it's a nightmare for him. Specially if he's in the corner. I really don't see Aquaman changing much. If anything with his trait nerf and our buff it could get worse for him.
You actually can interrupt minigun if he doesn't space the b13 well, you can just input a d1 after his 3 and if he doesn't cancel right away your d1 will come out and beat it, and if he does your d1 won't come out and you'll still be blocking. Or if you're traited you can let the string hit you and punish before the minigun. b13 lift is just retarded and unsafe.
No I'm pretty sure I can talk about top 8 at Evo, considering that's the only major everyone makes it out to, which means it's the tournament with the most competition and therefore holds the most weight.
I should have left out that first part, I respect the WNF guys but it is just so annoying how you all start posts with "and we had more players in top 8 at EVO" as if it actually adds any merit to what you are saying. News flash, KDZ won EVO and he thinks superman zoning is bad... yeah
I dont want to argue semantics. Its not a "semantic" when your matchup advice includes "interrupt something" that you cant. And yes, djt did extremely well at evo, that is why I asked for your advice, but when you said something blatantly false, excuse me for wondering what was going on. Notice at no point in this conversation have I questioned your matchup experience. I respect that it comes from DJT.
that a bit of an exaggeration. I've only seen that said a couple of times and i think its only been by Chef and Brad. And its not like its irrelevant to the conversation if someone doesn't know how strong the player's scene is.
Lol
i've only seen brad and chef say that to this point (specifically). You also seemed to downplay its significance, so i put another fact on the table
Im not downplaying its significance. Im saying it has no place in this discussion.
