d4 rings glitch

Error

DF2+R2
hmm interesing, and just to get the question out of the way.
Does this work on every character? Yes.

I wonder what implications this has on her meter building since blocked projectiles is typically where characters build their meter. D4 into rings is relatively safe so it could be a good tactic but on block, it looks like she keeps her arm-extension animation for a few seconds, I mean Cage right there could retaliate with a 2, 1, f2 by abusing that glitch. Hopefully this is kept on the down-low so people don't abuse it and Sonya can safely build her meter again.

Sonya doesnt need to build meter off of projectiles, 114/21/31 Ms cancel all day to get meter. No different to Kabals NDC mixups

try to use 114 on a opponent who duck block as soon as you get a change to start your offence and you will eat a d2 for it

on a ducking opponent

114 = you getting uppercut out of it
21= you getting uppertcut out of it
312= you getting uppertcut out of it
314= you getting uppercut out of it

sonya does not have one block string with more than one hit without linking a special which a ducking opponent can not uppercut you out it and for a so call rushdown character that really sux

What strings would you recommend using Riu? I just started to pick Sonya up and would like to know any tips on how to poke and pressure in a safe matter.

Sektor suffers from this as well. His 1,2,b1 can be ducked and uppercuted before the b1 comes out. Thankfully he has a string that ends in an overhead that can then be canceled into an up or strait missile to change things up. Is there a good way Sonya can get around this issue?

By the way, thank you for the video, the inspiration to pick up Sonya through vs'ing you at LB (though I didn't know who you were at the time - and you probably don't know me) and through VSM.

LB?

after you get a jump in punch block feel free to use any string you like

without a jump punch as of today i think cancelling the first hit of the string to MS or kartweel look like the best

Local Battles. That's a huge bummer to know that she doesn't have a string that can get around this!

I use d4 into MS a lot. The followups seem to be uninterruptable. Does 3 hit special mid? how does that work for a MS starter?

3 hits special mid, do 3 1 MS cancel
D4 ring isnt going to hurt her meter building anyway, just use 21 114 and 31 blockstrings MS cancel to build meter

against rain and sheeva you can use f22 and it will hit them ducking because they have a high hitbox when they are ducking against sheeva 31 hit her ducking as well
