I have a question; What is the point in you wanting to mirror match other WW players? If you want to push Diana "to the max" as you say, mirror matches proves nothing. Maybe I'm missing something, think about it how can you max out your abilities by just playing other WW players? If you want to improve or push Diana "to the max" We should focus on optimizing her tools and figure tech to use in her bad match ups.
Since you take WW seriously you should be ready for some criticism and not be offended by any words that is aimed to better your game-play. From watching Winterfell, A Foxy Grampa, Elite Goomba and a few other here WW, (Yes I have watch some of you via Online via KOTH, streams, youtube and tourney play.) You need to step your game up.
Here is a short summary of my critiques my fellow Amazon trainee after I thoroughly watch your vids and researched you as a player. Your sample size of videos are small so I need to see what "Improvements" you've made. You said those videos of your "play" are months old.
Here Goes...
- You do not maximize your advantages Tristan. >> Your punishes to mistakes are sub-par. I agree with the others here stated that the combos you do are not optimal.
- You have below average meter management. >> In addition pay close attention to your opponent's meter with this you will know their wake up options
- Learn to utilize SS its more oppressive when you have your opponent cornered and you have established the 50/50-high/low game. >>You can destroy some high/mid wake ups with your shield parry if the opponent is careless. Also it can help you save meter if you parry during string instead of clashing in clutch moments
- I see that you have a bad habit when you are playing. You have the mindset of "I'm going to do this" rather than being reactive and going with the match flow. >> This can be fixed by actually just playing more people who are competent skilled players unlike the casual internet people are just playing for fun.
The label of high level play you have on your videos are clearly Self-Proclaimed. I disagree with it and since you are here now we as a WW community will get you to the promise land of where you want to be
.
Here are something simple tip to add. If you are playing a heavy zoning character that you finally closed in on. (Ex DS, Sinestro, GL, GA, you know the list) Shorten your bnb and try to use d3 for an untechable knockdown and the ability to keep pressure on.
Here is what I mean Tristan. You say you are playing Death Stroke a smart one. Lets say you finally get in on hit your bnb which is b112, 23, b3 , j3 113 Lasso Grab. If you are mid screen that combo would be a TERRIBLE I mean TERRIBLE thing to do. You pretty much gave him space again to run and establish his zone on you.
Now if you b112,23, b3, j2, d3. You have untechable knockdown and the ability to set up the high low game and/or the ability to push DS in the corner. More importantly
you remained close to him
I learned this from watching A Foxy Grampa shout outs to him.
Lastly there are WW players out there. I see them a lot when I play not as much as The Favs which is Bats, Supes, Aqua and GL. But WE OUT HERE PLAYA!!!
