D1 and D4 really fuck up her momentum. Use them and dont jump while she's attacking you. Let her jump and be destroyed by some AA. You can also outfight her with your safe attacks. Just mix it up and anticipate her reactions to keep her on the ground for more pressure. By the second round it shouldnt be much trouble. Oh and remember that you can cancel wake ups so dont let her or anyone breath. I recommend using safe attacks to put more pressure on her untill you know the safest way to put her in vortex. Just watch when she's blocking low and high during your mix ups.
D1 and D3 are exactly what she wants you to do, thats a poke that could cost you 50% of your life. You'd have to be certain she isnt divekicking in the air to AA her, even then she doesnt ever need to jump because her D4 reaches further than any move scorp has. Shes also got a 7 frame standing jab, so Scorpions not gonna be winning up close in speed.
No offense but you must be, the divekick is the perfect move to counter a poke, no player should ever not be fearful of poking her because of the threat of losing 50%. Even then like I said, she can poke further than you and take 3% chip/10% life every time or have +1 advantage on block or link into a Cartwheel etc.
It's interesting I never get poked when dealing pressure. 33, then d1, cuts it off I guess. You're right, she never has to jump but most do anyways. IF she does jump then she'll pay but it's not critical for winning the match. Yeah, the dive kick can get you when you poke but you have to stop her momentum sometimes so it's worth doing.
There's also an opening during her pressure attacks for a 33~spear as there is with Kitana. Im sure you'll find it when it happens. Actually, that opening is with a lot of fighters. It's real useful against Johnny Cage's frame trap but it can be difficult cause it may take a long time (a lot of chip damage) before you get an opportunity. I d1 and then 33~spear when I find it.
you havent met a decent sona yet in that case. that dive kick makes you think twice before antiairing her, the armor cartwheel and the fast normals are something scorpion has a very hard time with, and the damn onion rings are too fast. ou can't even jumpkick at her because that uppercut is so fast. the d4 footsies I usuall use dont work either, make one mistake and youre gonna eat a divekick combo.
Are we talking about the same character here lol?
man ur in for a rude awakening*sigh* anytime i've faced blondy with mileena i've made her look flat out stupid, and don't even get me started on what i've done to her with shang, lets just say it was mean... lol u sir are a sonya user so i'm not even gonna try to reason, besides if your on psn regularly with blondy i'm certin i've stomped u as well a time or 2 cause i've never lost to her, not saying its not gonna happen one day, *knocks on wood* just sayin it hasn't happened yet, and yes.. i've faced the bitch a bunch. for everyone else- damnit i so didn't wanna do this...lol ok here's how it works, when facing blondy its a lot like facing kitana only u don't have to be so cautious about jumping, u gotta stay on the bitch! this comes naturally to me cause i honestly just hate her, always have.. the trick is to be twice as aggressive as she is, basically return the favor 10 fold, start getting cautious, backing off to turtle, ect, and yes she'll rape you! u wanna pay attention while tossing combo strings but NOT to the point of being cautious, i'm not saying play reckless, don't attack like a psycho in the middle of her wakeup or dive in head first when she's got a full special bar, just play smart while punishing and use common sense, instead just remember to keep her user guessing, old school works wonders against her, they think your gonna hit high, hit low, they think low, hit high.. LOTS of mix up tactics! also some of her attacks u can go underneath which also helps, make sure your laying hits on her more than she's hitting u cause i dunno why but the bitch is way over powered in the sense she can take half a life bar in one long annoying combo, IMPORTANT also don't stop in your tracks laying on the block button when she does hit you, keep the pressure on even if u think your losing, throws work VERY well against her cause she loves to stay in mid range, so try a throw whenever possible, staying aggressive is the key thats always worked for me when facing ms.piggie, imo i think a lot of u are just *fearing* her too much and its causing u to be way too cautious.. her moves aren't as threatening as they look, in fact when u look at her move base it isn't hard to tell that when they designed her they clearly were trying to make her one of the most cheapest characters in the game, just look at how retarded that hand spring jump thingy shoot kick move that sails clear across the screen looks, by far definately the dumbest looking move on the entire game... but luckily they failed to make her as cheap as i beleave they were intending cause they abviously didn't take into account that some characters can be just as/ even more aggressive than her... so anyways, thats the best advice i can give, i'm sure i'll be bashed for this response by her fans but i hope i've also helped some of u who are tired of getting pwn'ed by her..
Considering you're not taking Sonya seriously i'd doubt you'd even come close to Foxy's Sonya.*NEVER ENDING WALL OF TEXT*.
Just make a thread and ask for competition,i did when i was a nobody (still am,but have made friends) and i made good friends,learned alot and could finaly participate in well informed conversations about fighters,it's just that sometimes you judge a character by the tools they have and sometimes by the tools they don't have.
uhmm so what the hell can we do?
What the fuck man. You can pressure the bitch, especially if she doesnt have meter. She is not a god. She is not invulnerable to pressure. She can be poked. You have to know when to poke. This is fuckin stupid. People are talking about her as if she cant be damaged by Scorpion. Fuckin ridiculous. You are not going to be reduced to dust by beating on her.
