Does anyone have any advice for the erron black mu? What should I looking to punish, and with what?
This MU is hard, but most Erron players that I have played don’t know MU’s and just setplay all the time though. I have practiced it a lot though.
Cassie can OS ball buster on his f32 string and he can’t cancel, stagger, or do anything if he uses f3. The lock and loaded stance is unsafe, so if they cancel strings into it up close, you can interrupt or just punish all the options if you react late.
I always challenge scud shot cancels with f4 if we are close or f2 if they are further, at worst you eat the Amp shot of scud shot or a d4, practice the timing because blockstun makes it seem safer than it is.
Don’t be afraid to zone, you can stand outside of his acid puddle and force him to only use scud shot, but most will eventually approach. If you get them to Scud Shot too close, you can sometimes catch them with a F2 or B3.
They capitalize on people trying to get out the acid, but taking some DoT is better than the combo, d2, or dropkick you’ll take for jumping out of it. I just walk back out of it or sit or use a projectile in it if I have a life lead.
You can reversal punish Amp Dropkick with ball buster. If they use dropkick a lot, I jump back when they dash forward, it avoids dropkick and slide while letting you punish both. This is only if they are a yolo player though.
Overall nearly every match will go to time if they are patient. Like most setplay characters, I just look for their pattern and try to learn when to approach and when to zone. If they are really good, it is a hard MU, so good luck.
