I really hope this purposed money match happens.
safe on block and mid hitting - reptile has it.
There is the possibility that the Kabal player didn't know the Noob matchup, although thats pretty far fetched. Kabal can outzone and keep Noob saibot pressured and fearful of throwing projectiles or attempting offense from anywhere in the screen. Maybe he got outplayed, regardless, it doesn't change the fact that the Noob vs. Kabal matchup is nearly unwinnable. 7-3 for sure. Kabal has tool to counter anything you do.
Have you seen Noobs frame data? Have you seen how bad the recovery is on his projectiles? You can avoid his mediocre zoning easily. Take reptile for example, he's somewhere around midscreen or further, you throw a tackle, he anticipates and jumps, he dashes in and punishes you or whiffs elbow dash and begins pressure. It's easier than you think to get in on Noob.
His teleport is highly unreliable. I've been punched out of that teleport countless times. Characters with a low crouching hitbox can duck it and uppercut him out of it, thats how garbage it is. You CAN cross him up on wakeup, his upshadow doesn't have the full hitbox is did before.
LOL. That would be hilarious.
I realize Noob has nothing that can interrupt Raiden's strings, I was just making a general assessment about his offense being mediocre apart from good footsies. Even then, 33 4 is just... Not a great string, due to the fact that it hits high, has very little reach and gets blown up on whiff. About the only time it's useful is in the corner or on a guaranteed punish (since it does give him higher combo damage than F2 4 or B3 1 2). B3 1 2 isn't really a throw-it-out-there normal either, because B3 1 and B3 1 2 are unsafe as fuck on whiff, and well... You can't really hit confirm off just B3. His only go-to combo starter is F2 4. B3 1 2 is just good for whiff punishes and 1 2 1 2/1 2 1 should be used sparingly. Other than that, he has an alright D1, an alright D3 and while his D4 gives him a lot of hit advantage, it's too slow to be used liberally.
BM - Bad manner. It gets tossed around in starcraft forums a lot.
Actually, I'll tell it like it needs to be said. Altaire, you are an asshole, and your condescending tones are wearing very thin around here. Yes, you are very very smart and very knowledgeable but what the fuck makes you think you can treat others and talk to others like you do? You have big time anger issues and i dont even know what goes on in your real life, but i cant imagine its anything i'd want to experience. You come across as a miserable bastard and Im tired of it, LOTS of others who complain to me are tired of it. Its not funny and there is no other excuse than that your just a jerk. SO CHILL OUT. Learn respect and learn how to deal with other people opinions and sometimes, other peoples ignorance. If i were you, I'd start caring more about others opinions as in respect for the community we at TYM are trying to continue to build. You are apart of the glue that holds us all together, but so are all the others. So respect it.
Of course, thats how people should see the internet. It is the internet and your right, after closing my laptop, none of you exist... but heres the thing:
You're on, PAB.
This.
This is what I have been saying since the Noob contribution thread^^^. Thank you
Your assessment on Raiden is dead accurate... vs a character like Kabal or Reptile. It is, however, irrelevant vs Noob because of the character's one dimensional gameplay and lack of tools. If you can overcome Noob's zoning, there is not much else to worry about. His damage output is by far the worst in the game. His strings are average. His footsies are average. His pokes are average. And the lack of armor and a big crouching hitbox do not help. So, for instance, it makes no difference whether Raiden's b+3 and b+3,1 are very unsafe on whiff. What is Noob going to do? Punish them with a 15% combo?
