Illmatix
Remember, representing ermac is illmatic.
because kenshi is all zoner and ermac isnt.
those two have more tools to keep him out and ermac has just enough.
dont delude yourself and say he doesnt. like youve never been lamed out before.
because kenshi is all zoner and ermac isnt.
See that's ignorant right there. I told you we don't play the same. He can play a MU worse than I can or could have less experience than me. Like I said I don't give a shit if you think he is better or maybe if he is, YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED MY CAGE. Don't be retarded and say that just because he's better than me he knows more than me in every cage topic because I bet you he doesn't. tyrant imo has a better jax than daddy dab and a lot of people would prolly agree with me, yet dab knows more in the jax mirror and beat tyrant. So your logic doesn't make sense.
Guess I'm not good enough of a cage to tag but I just had to say if curbo was able to make it out to tournaments then this would probably be a different story. Don't forget he started this entire cage bandwagon to begin with. Not saying anyone is better but it would be debatable of who's the best cage
From personal experience this matchup is the epitome of a 6-4. Lao cannot poke nor jump out of Cage's pressure. His d3 is too slow and if you even try to jump your going to get AA'd into another nut punch and more pressure. Cage's forceball traps prevent a spin. The best thing Lao can do is based off randomness. Try to Tele 3 and Divekick his way around the map and just hope he can covert a combo. Delayed teleport-3 leaves Lao open to a b3 or d1 into full combo or a simple uppercut. Lao cannot zone and Cage is simply 10 times better up close. Lao cannot pressure Cage up close in this matchup. All he has to work with is a spin and a prayer. And a spin is risky as hell considering how badly he gets punished on whiff. That's just my personal take on it.Kung Lao: 6-4 - Why? Its risky for cage to over commit up close, especially being p2. You really have to be spot on. This match is a guessing game imo, Lao can pressure you with less risk than you can pressure him, and definitely better zoning. Sure you can bait things, but that goes both ways. Cage can punish Lao whiffs and punish better and is about the same on the footsie scale. I think this matchup played correctly by both players is 5-5, maybe slight advantage to cage, but I don't believe its enough to justify a 6-4. I would love any input on this though
Cage dominates this matchup because he has better footsies and scorpion has a ridiculously difficult time getting out of pressure. b3 and fwd 3 blow scorpions b2 and fwd4 out of the water in footsies and are much less punishable. His d3 is negative on hit so he has to d1, which doesn't really get him anything. So he has to try to use extremely punishable armor. Since cage ends his combos with pressure, the vortex guessing game is in cage's favor fairly significantly. Thats the basics of it.
the way i look at it, i dont start the match glued to your knee. i say i have forceball, push, teleport, the longest range throw, and the 3rd fastest walk speed to keep you out. you guys are like," ive got, um, redkick, which doesnt get me in , and um, a deep jumpick combo thats a lil risky.... cage vs ermac 6-4"
you stated he had good rushdown, i said his rushdown was bad vs cage due to his hitbox, then you just proceeded to give me this jibber jabber which i have nothing to do with nor have i said anything in regards to.
i thought you were representing cage , but dude 31 is old news, f2 frame trap is the future lol that hits people crouching
Thanks for the input! I agree it has to be kind of random for KL to win the match, but the threat can really keep JC on his toes, unless he follows the "Don't be scared" rule #1 to a tee, which he should. I see what you're saying though, thanks again for the input.
Yeah, I figured so, I just thought because of the nature of Scorpions playstyle in general it would be hard to dominate him like that, but I can see that. I thought it was a heavy 6-4 in cages favor anyways.
yes, i knew the kenshi match-up was bad for him, but to simply say ermac is 6-4 is kind of ignorant
f2 iafb, frame trap, safe, establishes footsie distance in favor of ermac.
true, and im saying ermac vs cage is even, not that he wins.
maybe f2, but f2 on block guarantees an iafb, if iafb hits you risk being sent full screen.
lol ayy he asked for it.Oh dear...
Maxter goes to Maxter when it's clutch? That's cool lol
