This is soooo 6-4 sonya. Do I have to pick sonya back up again to prove this theory? This is in sonyas favor. Kitana literally can't do any jump kick air fans because thats full combo punishable by ex cartwheel and sonya can zone kitana. Shes also got armor, MS mixups that are too overwhelming, her 40-50 combos that give her a reset and a chance to do more 50-50s. Theres a new PSN user that uses sonya and hes sick. It might be another account made by death because he plays sorta similar but hes prolly the best sonya ive played yet next to F0xy's sonya when he mained her, death and riu
^^^^^^

6-4 Sonya.

The threat of launching super armor, better footsies, overwhelming up close, cannot be kept out, shit wake-up, etc. Sonya players need to stop jumping into fans all day. I'm getting tired of hearing Kitana's mediocre zoning being pumped up constantly.

I really don't care what anyone tells me. Until I see something that makes me reconsider my words, this match-up is 5-5.

You want to tell us Sonya players to stop downplaying? Well, in return, you guys can stop downplaying Kitana. Fair compromise, I'm sure.

Blake where are u getting your MU numbers

Which offline kitanas? When?

This MU is hella discussed every tourney I go to . Reo said it best and I stopped reading

If my 3-4 week shit Sonya can go toe to toe w GGA 16 Bit it speaks volumes of the MU

Even when playing it I kept thinking "man if I my Sonya were much better trained I'd have this"

Speaks volumes on the MU

6-4 Kitana then
You know, I did have the match-up in Kitana's advantage at one time, but like with Sub-Zero I changed my mind and moved it to 5-5 for reasons I outlined in the main post. If I were preaching it was in Kitana's advantage, I could understand people coming down on me, LOL.

Read my main post. If that's not enough to convince you or anyone else, I have no idea what will.

Yea and my point is MU charts shouldn't be personal

U have an issue w kitana

Ask the ones who say 6-4 for footage and to critique what you're doing in the MU
You think I'm the only one who thinks this match-up is even? I recall agreement from Evil_Riu48, whom I also believe is a top-notch Sonya. MortySeinfeld and Death also think so. If my word alone isn't enough for anyone, maybe theirs will be.

Like I've said, I dealt with the Kitana match-up for months and no matter what, I can't think of any advantages to exploit against a Kitana who is smart as fuck. This isn't to say I lose to all Kitanas, of course, but that doesn't mean I find the match-up any more enjoyable than I already do. If I prefer fighting Kenshi over Kitana, it's due to one of two things:

1) I am crazy - which is likely.

2) Something must be up.

No, that only happens if you mistime your D4, or if they use EX.

It's not the easiest thing in the world, but numbers are not based on what is easy. It is definitely 100% viable.
Invincibility frames on Wake-Up. It applies even to normal specials.

To be fair this game isn't very deep. Any top player can pick up any character in the game and within a week play them at a very high level.

Fundamentals carry over between characters. Has nothing to do with how "deep" the game is.

Death can not be trusted until further psychological examination

I was going to have an intervention with Death at FF but he did not have enough Armor to get through the Blizzard to make it there

I was upset he couldnt make it, been too long.

ANYWAY, death cannot be trusted. He's violated the code of conduct MU POLICE regulations time and time again and has been arrested on countless charges of extreme Downplaying.

We're not really sure yet if he's completed his MU AA meetings yet
