The way mkx plays may make people doubt whether the players even have skill since the game is so "spammy" as unprofessionally one would say.
But if you doubt Steady's skill, go watch him in other games.

I have. Its the same braindead tactic used over and over. Not saying he's a bad player, but no competent fighting game should allow someone to get away with this shit. If I didn't love this franchise I would simply accept it for what it is and move on, never complaining.
^ This. MK, buddy. Hate to break it to you but MK is the least competent fighting game there is. "Spammy", braindead, but that doesn't discredit the skill of the players playing it. We got some straight badasses playing it.
B1 4 is easily poked out of. b33 is doable but timings are weird and you are shifting momentum to your opponent which is bad for sonya. Your better off continuing pressure because she thrives in continuous pressure with mixups. Trying to play a safe sonya is retarded, especially with how Military stance can be blown up by players with command grabs or you just get straight mixed up by your opponent since your negative after cancel. She is a balls to the wall character that overwhelms, allowing players a chance at offensive is terrible since she has poor defensive options for Armour on wakeup which are unsafe.
Its an option but its not one that your going to confirm on block. My buddy plays sonya and we run 40-50 matches straight at at time. He cancels sometimes like your saying but its not something he is doing as a reaction to me blocking his b1 4, which is the only string he does it on becasue b33 or b332 whiffs, he is doing it as a mixup as a combo re-starter not as a way to safely block the next mixup which is what your saying it could be good for.. I believe she has one other string can cancel on but it gets blown up because it doesn't have enough hit stun to keep you from hitting him before his cancel to block. When you have your opponent feeling the pressure it is a good mixup option for a new combo if they are respecting you via a cross over 1 or raw new mixup. However 7/10 times I poke with a d1 which if confirms against his block, I go into my own cross over jump or if I feel he might counter poke, armour counter. If he doesn't cancel, and goes for any of the MS low/ overhead grab options, overhead and MS grab gets poked out of. The only one that will consistent blow you up is low if the player doesn't commit to a low block because it creates a continuous string with no gaps and it can be delayed as a frame trap, however wait to long and it can be neutral jumped out of. Since MS low is super unsafe, I just take my chances either committing to low block, or d1/ Jumping out to blow up other options. If I do commit to low block and it doesn't come within its window it could, its all up to my reactions to defend against anything else.
