I never said Mika wasn't an incredibly strong character. I just said you wouldn't do well with her because you're an incredibly weak player(mentally), it's the same reason you don't do well with any character.
Well, yeah the regular throw is not as rewarding from a strictly damage standpoint, but when you calculate the risk/reward, regular throw is way ahead. 2 regular throws = 1 command grab. 1 punished command grab = about 2 command grabs. And if you are in the corner and tech a throw, you aren't out of danger. That's still in Mika's sweet spot for buttons.
all of mikas buttons are negative at tech range. And you don't wanna go for regular throw too much because like I said, you lose pressure if they know the matchup.
cr.HP might be -1 at worst and she has 3 frame normals.
im at work so I can't test but I'd be willing to bet a tech in the corner is close enough to leave her negative on hit after a cr hp. That move gets too much respect.
I think it's even or +1. Kind of hard to test because it seems to hit at different times depending if they are crouch blocking or stand blocking, standing neutral or crouching neutral. Also, the corner is different spacing after the throw tech.
I'll test it when I get off. Can't really visualize the spacing the tech creates in the corner in my head. Pretty sure it's gonna be negative though, and like, a lot negative.
I didn't know that. Could be why I'm getting mixed results. I don't think it's going to be that negative when you test it. Mika might even have to take a micro-walk forward to get the cr.HP to hit because the range is that close to being max range. It's difficult to test without a second person. I'll be going in to work now so I can't mess with it anymore.
K. Mid screen it works but it's unreliable. If they take half a step back you die. If they walk forward and block you're punishable/minus a lot.
And if you read backwalk sweep will catch them.
thats because there's a pre-requisite to that statement assumes your at a certain level in fighting games in the first place.
Yea I'm rookie and level 2 with mika. My main is Laura but I still suck with her. I'm trying to learn Laura,mika,Ryu,Ken,Ibuki. Which to me is hard because of my schedule. Not to mention im learning kitana,raiden,scorpion, and not sure if I want to take up subzero or predator.
yeah that's why there's what, one person in the world that's consistent with the character? So tired of people saying characters are easy because some ridiculous people make them look it.
her sweep is super terrible. It's useful for low profiling and swaggy anti airs. That's it.
Was playing before our match and I just went 3 matches straight in casual. IDK what happened. I blame Capcom. I say we give it another go.
k you invite me. Maybe that matters.
Guess I got strength back but the connection is just hit or miss now if I stay connected. Playing some other games no problem so far.
Its not your connection, SF5 netcode is random and wacky at times.
