Thank you

Also i forgot to mention that unless its a really low air laser that regular air laser gets punished by FB on block. I also think that you can FB ia laser on reaction but im not positive of this so take that last one with a grain of salt

How's everyone handling the doomsday match up these days? playing against decent doomsdays atm is a fucking nightmare.i mean is it even worth charging trait?seeing as he doesn't give 2 shits about it.its getting to the point where I think its a better option to keep going for the vortex rather than knock him full screen.

IMO you should only charge trait after a f2d13 or 112 (Even then only 1 to 1 1/2 bars). It's so dangerous to do it anywhere else because MB Shoulder is super fast and will push you to the corner. Otherwise play footsies with b12 and MB FB because he can't punish it. In his trait you can use 223 to keep you safe or d1. IF you do get trait you can zone him rather well because any mistake he makes will push him full screen. Let us know if you need any other advice.

How is Sinestro supposed to play against Raven? I played some matches against Glass Sword and felt like I couldn't really do much.

Always stay in b12 range. Any soul crush you can't punish with FB or b1 you have to dash up. Don't jump in on oki or grab will get you. Punish grab on block.

Unless you get the whiff, you just kind of have to hold that. Walk back or crouch block. His d1 will outrange yours and is faster than your d2. so if you walk back out of his d1 you can whiff punish with d2/b12.

How does sinestro bane do? Can't we get a free charge everytime bane goes into a debuff? When traits out the game changes right

I would say it's even. Against bane you need to get the hell away from him and turtle your ass of. When fullscreen, try to charge trait and punish dashes . If he's got venom going, just keep turtling and if they get impatient and charge then punish. On debuff, chip and charge trait. If you get knocked down then that's more than likely your lifebar sadly

Im getting a good grasp of the Lobo match-up going to take some more notes today

@Blind_Ducky Fool

I know. I'm telling you guys how to play the match up.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Hey I'm new with GL and am wondering if you guys could give an in depth explanation on how to beat sinestro. I just got bopped by p2w 17-2 and want to play him again. But it's a struggle. He said get in and stay in but I need more of an explanation. I would try posting this in the GL thread but I think they have all quit the game. Hey @MITDJT if you or your brother know anything can you chime in?

 

[Wowbiggulps]

Any tips on the Grundy matchup? I had a hard time keeping him out at TFC vs MikeMetroid and BillyDhakid; he just WCC'd through any zoning pressure I attempted. I know the consensus is 6-4 Sinestro but I am just looking for pointers as it's a matchup I am unfamiliar with.

 

[The Great One]

Can someone exsplain to me (in detail if you can D how to approach the nightwing matchup? Up close he's a pain and can we really beat his zoning in staff? I can see how we can beat escrima zoning but staff zoning seems like a pain
