how to beat Sheeva's stomp ONLINE post ultimate

[Raptor]

As the title says. I have been getting obliterated by sheeva players with just stomp and can't do anything with sub zero. Any suggestions what should I practice? Dashing or walking wasn't working for Sub even before ultimate now it doesn't work on any character. I also play scorpion and a little bit frost and noob but I have no counter with any of these characters. I was even trying rain and his evaporate move but it has massive recovery frames and sheeva even after stomp can punish that. Any suggestions?

Don't dash or walk out until she leaves the screen. Her tracking doesn't start till she's offscreen. Walkspeeds and dashes generally are faster towards the beginning and slow down 20 frames in. If you dash or walk too early she'll tag you.

You're obviously gonna miss this if you are in a panic state but before she drops the camera shifts above you, backdash or use a special to punish.

Teleporting yourself after Sheeva helped me if your Character has a teleport

Terminator's teleport has been great for dealing with scrubby Only Stomps Sheevas and he is fairly easy to learn.

Less character specific, before and after Ultimate I've found just wave dashing like your ass is on fire gets me out of it more often than not (though it doesn't always leave me in a position to punish)

When the camera shifts, dash or walk

this move is so cheap
you can also spam this till death against CPU, just D,U ...

this move sometimes feels like an unblockable homing missile ...

ps: i love the stomp brutal tho

 

[Hot_DNA]

This move annoys me as well.. Haven't really fought too many lately

I'm playing online only so D+2 is 50/50. Wave dashing is tricky to learn but I might try. So far I had some success with scorpion teleport timed well but it's not fool proof. Dashing post Ultimate patch doesn't work, I tested on several characters on which it worked before.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Its hard because Sheeva can delay it anywhere between 1-32 frames iirc

 

[John_NX]

I never had an issue countering this move?
Only in the beginning when sheeva was first released

If possible could you go into further details about what's not applicable anymore?

Normal walking is caught by sheeva's stomp. Her stomp has bigger collision now and will always catch you if you try to walk or dash, but perhaps there are some exceptions. I tested it on several characters on which dash/walk worked for me before Ultimate patch and it doesn't work anymore. I watched even Sonic playing vs some sheeva player and even he failed to get out of stomp several times during one match.

Dash after they have left the screen and keep walking in that direction has worked for me on who I've tried it on.

Them stealth-buffing Sheeva stomp like this is ridiculous, mind.

I will give it a try. At the moment I found that Scorpion's well timed teleport is a good counter and Frost's Blade Spin. That's for the characters I'm playing I bet others have their own ways to deal with it but I'm not the kind of player who plays entire cast I stick to 1-4 chars and that's it.

You know one of the best counters for Sheeva's stomp is... Sheeva's stomp.

As long as you're not too late (and beacause the move is so quick to produce, it's equally easy to quickly input your own when you see it being launched), the second player to take off will always annihilate the first player's stomp with their own.

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

and Frost's Blade Spin.

Spin does 20 dmg to her while you take 50...

Frost can (late)dash + walk to avoid normal/delayed both, but only backwards. If they have the directional stomp, you need to be prepared to do the double forward dashes as well.

I'm able to forward dash out of it with Sub Zero very consistently. Delay makes it significantly harder as you need to guess the timing, but by no means will it "always " catch you

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

Double dash either way clears Sub, as long as you do it after they've left the screen. His wide stance is certainly not doing him any favors here.

 

[Dogeofthesea]

If Sheeva used dragon stance mb, the stomp is basically guaranteed

 

[Mk9kevin]

Since my main is Kano I honestly just do his cannonball move, and once she lands, I just throw the knives at her. Sometimes I don’t even want to fight against her because of that stupid stomp move.
