Hit me up for some games, I need a break from ranked, I feel like I focus more on winning that improving in ranked, if you know what I mean.

if you input the SB delayed it will autocorrect vs cross ups
Yeah that's what I was talking about a few posts back. Pretty cool stuff. I thought I was keeping my charge when they crossed me up at first lol. It also makes anti-crossup critical art easy to do.

I think MKX is more fun but I do love the consistency of SFV and the fact that there's no way to circumvent the neutral (i.e., randomly slide, teleport, jump in etc.). While the offense is also very strong in SFV, there are fewer derpy ways to start the offense. If you can't play footsies in SFV you will basically never land a hit against someone who knows what they are doing and you'll never get a chance to run the set play.

Exception is Bison in lag using unreactable dashes / v trigger to get their offense started.

Mika sorta falls in that exception, too, since one clap starts up the shenanigans. But as you said, good neutral play = that should be pretty hard for the Mika.
 
Mika is sorta like an MKX character in SFV, but the difference between her and an MKX character
is that she can't run in 1 second and start pressure and really has to work for it because her footsies aren't that great.

I'll be back 3ing
Found this just for MylesWright lol.

SonicFoxs F.A.N.G is looking good but that character still sucks. The requirement to win with this character is for you to just play so much better than your opponent which I find ridiculous. Who ever makes the most correct reads should win and that is the case for everyone in this game except F.A.N.G

Yeah it's kind of a big difference imo. If Mika got in on me I feel like I probably messed up and didn't react to something pretty reactable. Whereas in MKX I feel like there are more situations where I had to guess between multiple unreactable or very hard to react options.

when using Mika you're almost guessing as much as the opponent is.
Thats the plight of a grappler in SFV, you're just a punching bag for the shoto oppressors

So happy to see someone actually discuss Mika. So tired of seeing the whole "she doesn't play SF stuff" when it's known she has trouble actually getting a hit. And what seems like she the only person with resets or a corner game. Sure she has one of the nastiest V-triggers but she doesn't run a train on the game of SF.

Yea I've heard mixed things on Mika, in your opinion where does she rank?

It's well-known she has a bad neutral game but the thing is that once she gets in it's pretty much GGs! She does good damage, she can hit confirm, she can decide which sides to keep you in with her command grabs, her CC is + on block, unescapable resets against some characters, nasty ass corner game, the best V-trigger in the game which is a get in for free tool as well as a pressure tool... If she had a good neutral game she would be top 5/3 for sure.
I think she is very good actually but not top 5 because she lacks a reversal and her weak neutral can be tough to use against someone with a good neutral.
