The Netherrealm beckons
I have never seen anyone discuss this strategy with the Sonya match-up, so here it is. The scenario here is to sweep Sonya, then immediately dash in with 3, 3. If she has no meter after Scorpion sweeps her, she MUST respect a 3, 3, 4.
The only exception to this is EX kartwheel, but 3, 3, EX spear/EX takedown will beat that every single time. BUT 3, 3 by itself will beat out every single one of her wake-up attacks every time, including the EX attacks (except EX kartwheel).
Here's the only issue I'm not sure about: if Sonya blocks Scorpion's sweep, he's at -6. Do any Sonya players know if this is punishable with her divekick? My hope is that all of this creates a mix-up game for Scorpion with sweep and F+3 (B+2 if you're feeling lucky).
