Believe me, nerves didn't do anything to me. Not being able to jump away from the command grab(For some GODFORSAKEN REASON) did it, but I don't wanna start bitching on anything.
You have a nice baraka man.

You cant jump out, and I followed command grabs when you said you couldnt jump out. Its a tournament and I took advantage of you not knowing. I was gong to tell you afterwards but you were salty. Anyway, ggs.

This one's for you
After watching Tony-T I learned that we all have room to improve on execution.
I haven't seen any of the stream footage from today yet. Can't wait to watch it.

My God...Digimon always gives me such second hand embarrasment lol. "This game is such shit. Blah blah blah. Im really good and I hang out with top players, blah blah blah." He reminds me of all the bi-polar people with identity issues who have no friends. I find watching majors with the "hide chat" so much more enjoyable. And congrats to Sonic.

That's true, but Kitana is a huge punisher. Her damage is nonsense, her unbreakable damage is nonsense, etc. That's a huge asset IMO.
sure, but it restarts the footsie game. sub's jail ends with another clone and more guessing (because if you dont he'll 212 clone chip you to death). plus brady just reacts to what people do when they're in jail, so really it's almost guaranteed damage.

you can only jump out if the cyrax is late on the jip. Sometimes you do get lucky. I mass d1 when i see him go for grab...I sometimes poke him before the command grab hits or I'll tech it if im late.

I know how good Subz corner game is, and it's pretty much a bitch to get around. However, that chip is still not as deadly as Kitana's damage.

but it's infinite. like if you dont do anything the chip is guaranteed, and you're still in jail, if you're up 80% health with 60 seconds left you can still lose if you get caught in jail once. kitana doesnt have that kind of comeback factor. sure 2 combos, but 1) breaker builds on damage, not chip, 2) kitana has to get back in position to do damage and sub doesnt making it harder to get the comeback.
to be clear, i their tools are roughly as good as each other, but kitana's are more basic and sub's require more to set them up, but are more dominant once set up. that's the key difference. of course this is in general. against each other kitana has all the tools to dominate.

  • 117 SIGNED UP FOR NEC - NEC LAST YEAR HAD 92, MK IS DEAD? #Idiots
Say whhhaaaat? It's funny when ttt2 came out you heard everyone crying about MK and switching over to ttt2, saying MK is done blah blah blah, following the "trend" like a bunch of lemmings and now most of them have come back lol. Well the numbers don't lie. MK still goin strong. Fuck Tekken.

All it takes is one read to get out of Sub's corner game then he has to deal with Kitana all over again. She has too many Anti-Sub-Zero tools.
 
STB CharlieMurphy, i njp all the time haha, i'm not going to spam it though, i make the read on someone crossing up and then i NJP their ass and get a full combo. It's all about timing with it and anticipating a cross up.

yeah kitana really doesnt have problems with sub, but other characters do. look at the last line of the post you quoted, i'm talking about general tools, not the matchup between them
