First offline FT20 I decided to go ahead and put in this Art of War series, local nemesis Dark Steel and I in a a set Ares vs Hawkgirl.

Final count was 20-7

We have gone back and forth for the longest time now, I finally decided to implement new strategies last night and it paid off big time. Watching other characters approach to the MU and applying it to Ares toolset. As you can see a lot of jump normals. Instead of revolving around blowing up mace charge I instead just blocked it out and looked for an opening or blow up some aerial attempt. Ares otg's with interactables on that particular stage really change the game in a lot of match ups, so I am glad he changed it eventually, ares and the pig can be utterly broken at times. I think if he would have adjusted and slowed down abit with the charges and evades he may have done better, but slowing down also lets me move more which is also pretty dangerous. I think she can bully him in the corner, maybe bait a tele and have a mace charge waiting for me.

Great games as always and hope you guys enjoy. Also I still have no idea who's advantage this MU is in, I have always felt 6-4 hg, then 5-5 as well.

Oh that was the actually part of the Art of War series? I would've paid more attention if I knew that.

Srry and Zapp suggested it after a few games and I was like that is genius haha. He is probably the best hg to play, I've been playing him every week for over a year now so it made sense. And the only time I played ppj he used lex T_T and all hg players are ps3 or ps4 for some reason.

Ps3/4 Hawkgirl players cause the extra lag gives you extra invinibility frames on wing evade. And cross ups can't be blocked on reaction

I usually make ares look pretty bad in that MU. I looked at how a good buddy of mine plays the mu with ds using j3 and how THEO used it on espio with j2 and kinda tried to implement some of their jump patterns. (reading charge with neutral jump rather than b3 which i would then get blown up by evade, jump back to beat charge as well and be away from evade, neutral jumping with 2 and back jumping with 1. I used to armor after a d1 and pray he chose mace charge, but he got smart and adapted, so I just decided to eat the chip and look for an opening elsewhere) Also that stage is broke as hell ares j1 control into otg off of everything.

We had just ft7 MM'd right before this so we were both warmed up. And as long as I am being honest actually thought I was going to lose haha. He has a great record vs me in tourny. But I have been only using wowo against him for weeks now and this was the first time I've ever tried something new so I am glad it worked.
