Hi, I've been trying to register for like 3 weeks to ask one thing:
Please explain to me how this MU is 7-3 for Flash.
Try to intercept his jump? Lose air to air 10/10 times. Jump in? Get a pipe to the face. Crossup? Get a pipe to the face.* Uppercut? Gets stuffed 9/10 times, by neutral jumps, jump-ins and backwards jumps with early aerial attacks. Walk-up/Dash-up? Throw, d1, gun, pipe or canister keep me out. Even super (which I get fairly reliably, becauseI can't approach him from the air, ground, or through voodoo) gets beaten by his j1 and teeth.
The only things you can reliably do in this MU against a competent player is fishing with b22 (have fun getting parried all day), punish 2/3rds with LC and try to catch his safe ass with OH pounds. What tilts this MU in Flash's favour? Is it the fact that you have a 50% chance to not get comboed for 70% once you get him into the corner?
I used to play Tager in BBCT, I play Honda and other low tier garbage in SF, I know how to play and win bad MUs. This, however, is probably one of the worst MUs I've ever had to deal with.
A friend of mine that I have played against for years and years, he's free to me. Literally free- I can beat him 24 games in a set of 25 in almost any game you can name, 20 out of 25 if I'm drunk, wearing an eyepatch and having a bad day. When he plays Joker, he can take 10-12 games out of 25 against my Flash (not other characters), and that's with him knowing one combo for 40% and pressing random buttons on wakeup (he doesn't know what a frame trap is- luckily he doesn't need to in this MU).
I have shifted my focus back to KOF, but I had to come here and ask: is there like 1 button that beats everything Joker does, because if not, he can literally do whatever he wants in this MU unless the Flash player massively out-skills the Joker. That's always the sign of a balanced MU, right? This shit is 6-4 or 7-3 for Joker easily imo, I don't see how anyone can claim otherwise.
*That was the point where I switched character- Joker's d.2 hitting behind his head- late! You can't even cross him up once he realizes you can't do shit if he starts pressing buttons.
