I just want to say I watched the archive in full, good shit my dude! I learned a lot from the Supergirl and Darkseid matchups especially.
My thoughts:
- I never thought of using 12b2 into bounce cancel. You caught a lot of people ducking with that, might need to add that to my arsenal. Even if they block, you could follow up with 23 or even b123 so it's a smart option.
-Your zoning is on point. Especially in the super girl matchup, it feels like I can never get the timing to get a shot off. Going to study that match a lot
-Good use of hit confirming d1 into b123. I'm trying to be more consistent on doing it thanks to you
-I saw you interrupting super girls b12 into breathe with Cyborg's 12b2 PF. The good stuff, respect. I can do it consistently offline, but not online
-You used delayed wakeup exceptionally well, especially when avoiding setups vs. Supergirl and Darkseid
-A saw a few times you used Target Acquired feints and dashed in. Need to implement that into my game as well
-Using MB roll into grapple gave you a lot of milage there, especially in the DJT matchup.
Suggestions:
-I notice you do 12b2 EXPF f2 xx trait. You should try to mix it up with 12b2 EXPF f2 into TA. You save the trait, get a lot of options from it. Especially pressure options if you follow up with nb, j2, dash in d3, or even b12. For example here's a setup for Darkseid:
And if they block any of your pressure options you build a ton of meter. In fact, they can't jump out of the b12 follow up and it gets stuffed. I learned this all from the Cyborg Pressure concepts thread, definitely check it out:

- Although
@HiddenSelectCounterPick already mentioned this, Cyborg can do 23 as a counterpoke to some of the cast (darkseid especially, his d1 is -5 and starts up in 6 frames). It's something I need to integrate into my poking game as well.
-Darkseid: If your within range and duck a high laser, you can smack him right in the jaw with power fist haha
-Brainaic: You can punish his Doxel Drill with reversal PF (it's -15 on block). I saw siez3 get away with it several times, but how often do we get Brainaic players haha. Although EX version is +1, the risk vs. reward is in your favor.
-As mentioned before using MB roll into grapple is dope and you should keep using. To add to this, Cyborg can also cancel his nova blast into a MB roll as well. This means if your in the corner, you can do a block string into MB roll, then grapple. Noble illusions does this a lot when I was watching him play.
Overall man, really great play this weekend. You can bet I'm going to be watching those matches again like crazy haha
