My d4 would've worked if that were the case. -_-
That's why I suggested timed jump punch into late dive kick. You stuff ass and then you can scout for wakeup cutter and lift. If they do nothing, they have to still watch for dive kick.

My blades will find your heart
because i dont feel like multi-quoting my responses will be in red and i will bold what i am responding to or things that dumb players need to realize
also, for the record i'm posting this because i'm picking up kenshi and fuck kitana, she's not viable.

6.5-3.5 sonya
she has all the tools to facerape kitana. the only reason kitana gets the damage she does is that other players make stupid mistakes.
If you stay cool during this matchup and dont start rushing your gameplay then it's really bad for kitana. if i cant hit fans that means the advantage i had before disappears instantaneously.
Youll still be free to Baraka.

I used to be able to beat Ass with Arc Kick consistantly early on. Was Arc Kick or Flying Stank Ass touched in any of the patches? I can't seem to do it anymore.

Haha wow. I love how Sonya players don't understand this matchup at all. It's borderline embarrassing. Boohoo, zoning and wakeups? LMFAO.
Just like Kitana players don't understand that D1 has the same range and half the activation frames of Sonya's D4. Yeah, we don't understand shit.

We understand that. We just realize one is a good keep out tool and the other begins the character's offense even on block. Kitana d+1 doesn't even give her advantage on hit.

Very true, but the on hit advantage on crouch is STILL enough to stick it out again to prevent the d4 a second time. Which is still in your favor some. Sonya's options at this point would involve whatever measures she would have that counters d1.

So while it's not an ideal frame advantage overall, it's still a decent point to control her option she wants to do.
 
kitana zoning or her wakeups are not what makes this matchup 5-5 to me

please doctor riu help me i have fought like a 1000 times this matchup against player
who does not even zone me and is always playing me footsies . . . please doctor riu what is wrong
with me why do i think this matchup is 5-5 when is clear 6-4 or 7-3 because sonya has a long range d4 , dive kick and
armor and i should always be able to make a read and hit her with my armor and i should always be able to counter
her poke since i have a dive kick and she should not be able to even touch me because my d4 is so long and leads to a 50/50 mixup what is wrong with me


dear Evil_Riu48 read this post two times a day and come back and see me in a month we will then see if this is the right treatment for your problem
and? . .. that i am getting to the conclution that this community is full of shit when it comes to talk about sonya why? because if the words coming out of the mouth of sonya players is not '' the all powerful sonya who beats every body in the cast but kenshi kabal and freddy '' people do not want to hear it and they do not even have an open mind about it

people do not want to accept the fact that she goes even with a few characters is the cast as well because she is sonya and she most have the advantage because she has a long d4 and armor ''you know''
