get hit once, free 60 percent (virtually) unbreakable. 50/50 guess on wakeup (cannot reversal out without being stuck in the web). guess wrong, free 60 percent (virtually) unbreakable

Maybe. My only complaint is it reminds me of x factor in marvel. Most sadiras game plan is get owned for 90% of their health bar then wake up with instinct and take 100% before their instinct runs out, lol.

you cant break enders unless its opener ender. the ONLY part of that combo that is breakable is the jump cancelled normals which is virtually impossible. the air super is unbreakable, the web is unbreakable, opener unbreakable, ender unbreakable.

edit: this post is incorrect. the ender is breakable but the damage still gets cashed

Widow's Bite registers as an opener even mid-combo. go into training mode and see for yourself.

EDIT: Because it's opener-ender, you can't be counter broken either

Still does the whole damage but at least you won't go into a mix up

Sadira can play shit for a whole round and eat combos, until her instinct meter is full then you're on the receiving end of one of these... if not, she still gets free pressure and free bluff attempts as well. a character like glacius who can barely move get raped by Sadira. and dont get me started when you get cornered against her (with instinct on).
i usually save my instinct to counter hers, albeit just for one hit. so glacius absorbs one web into his armor and you can look for a getout after that or if feeling brave you can go after her :) but that would not be wise if she has the instinct mode active.

i keep saying this to Sadira players, but no one wants to admit that its way too overpowered and is having too many utilities, defense/offense/unbreakables/safe bluffs/space control/free pressure... that's too much TBH. it's one thing having to deal with the jump-craze, its another thing to be dealing with that PLUS the instinct. and why the hell does it have to deal damage? i mean the small web things deal damage too ... wtf! did Subzero iceblasts deal damage ffs? or cyrax nets deal damage - its a capture move, should deal 0 damage IMO.

Yes, it is a little to good. No Sadira player will ever admit it.

Never mind what people are doing with it right now, that shit is nuts, not to mention the corner shit.

But have you ever cranked up the AI and seen what they do with it? I know I know thats the AI, but the fact that the shit is actually possible in the game.

It needs to be toned down if you ask me.

Big deal if once she puts a web out and you don't touch it she can't put another one for 5 seconds. It's not like she loses every other thing she can do for those 5 seconds.

Anyways, I'm balls at this game, but yes, I think it's a little too good.

Sadira is broken as hell with her instinct and extremely good without it. She belongs in Mahvel. She completely negates the ground game and has x factor, what is she doing in Killer Instinct? She gets to hop around the screen like spiderman and completely ignore fundamentals and footsies. Only chance to get her is on a knockdown but by the time you manage that she already has instinct and shits on you. GG's.

Agreed. Glacius loses this matchup by a landslide. Glacius cant keep her grounded to initiate offense. She can cross you up and jump all over you and you gotta take it. Doing a wakeup puddle punch is suicide in general but in this matchup it is beyond suicide. The only wakeup option I use is the shoulder and thats if they mistimed a jump in or crossup so I can get the hell out of the pressure.You gotta be on point with your blocking and be scouting the throw. When she lets you breathe all you can do is poke poke and more pokes, thats about it. Glacius has nothing she has to respect. She takes a giant poop on glacius.

Rule #1: Don't get hit.
lol, word up.

I mean, I don't think it's busted or anything, it's just really good. And makes me wanna rip my hair out and rage quit life sometimes, but hell, what can you do. Sucks getting stuck in the corner though.
