Match-Up Discussion - Johnny Cage BS shinnock matchup

[Phosferrax]

This MU is awful. He completely controls the neutral game, and has a much better backdash against him than most of the cast.

I'm struggling for answers.

B2 yo...

it's 24 frames, it's reactable. if you are having trouble with shinnok you really shouldn't switch to kitana. The only thing she does better is meterless damage.

I'm afraid not.

I highly disagree that A-List has a better midscreen game. Shinnok completely controls the pace of the match because he has so many means to control space. I have an easier time getting in on Hish-Qu-Ten Predator than I do BS Shinnok. He has very fast pokes, and Cages relatively slow mids cause an issue in the post-tv remote guessing game.

Because of this, throws which are a very important part of A-List's offense become a far less potent threat because you have to get in on him all over again.

There is no way that this MU can be considered even.

i dont know how can someone say bs has a better pressure than a list, he cant poke out at all!
If you do one of those: 114skrc, 4skrc he cant even use armor, just block.
Those: f3rc, 12rc, b34skrc, f2skrc they just can armor out, if they do it often you can block and punish.

Neutral you should stay at the range of the 3 hellspark so even if he mb it you can armor out of the pressure, if they do not mb you got a punish with a little run f3rc f24....

The only problem is fullscreen imo.
