I hope everyone learns how to AA finally and realize that jumping in isn't viable and actually start playing better footsies
Sonya might drop in the tier list

Unfortunately with the way dash crouching works (it doesn't) characters that get exposed to neutral crouching will never truly be exposed. Kitty is exceptionally good at stuffing advancement with her spear of a d1. Then she has b3 to check you on neutral. A lot of kitty players are utilizing the b3 now to make sure you stay blocking. If you could dash backwards and duck, it would be different since you could move away from the b3 or advance forward and duck under a 2 etc. Unfortunately the games mechanics to not allow this.
its outdated by a year actually, But Now Jax is getting better and Kabal is being figured out. If there's anything left in the tank for jax than this MU could easily be even
The start up frames for trance are quite slow, you'll be hit in the face with a projectile if you deliberate try and trade before the animation completes. It's one of those situations where you just both throw a projectile out and you both get clobbered. Dont think you can really scout it, though I guess you could on slow ones like acid ball or csz ice ball.
we are beyond that, Jax has adapted to his weaknesses
Neither option on the 50/50 is safe nor is it overly hard to block considering how big of a gap there is in the string when you go for the overhead, the only way to make 21212 truly safe is to cancel it into EX Teleport. If you're gonna go for a risk like that you might as well just go all in and spin.
How does he get around that problem? I'm sure F4-energy wave can avoid a full combo punish right? But still can be interrupted by a low poke.
Everything he does is high, alot of characters will just stand up and punish anything he does. You cant avoid a weakness that is so deeply embedded in the character.
You underestimate how badly Jax rapes high hitboxes. Getting stuck in the corner against Jax with a high hitbox and no good armored move is a BIG problem. Jax is one of the worst designs in the game imo because of the drastic differences in his MUs based solely on the hitbox
I understand how it works for those with high hitboxes, but theres 10 characters that skew it the other way for having a low hitbox, and those 10 are more common in tournament than your fish like Sheeva, Baraka, Kano etc which have no real impact on the way tournaments go.
In 2-3 years Baraka will be taken out this equation..
What do you mean?
You think he would still be looked at as a fish even later on?
Definitely, Kenshi is basically a super Baraka.
Denzel's already pretty damn aggressive with him...
You covered alot of what i was going to say in this post
More aggressive than that, lol. I never see Sub-Zero's highest damaging combos in tournaments cause of clone setups and meter management. Sometimes players even go for setups when a fullcombo would kill the opponent. You gotta take risks.
not interruptible, but it can be punished on wiff
