Nice job on the ex dc back dash to f4 in match 2. I only had time to watch 2 matches, but it looked like you were doing what needed to be done. This mu is 6-4, possibly 7-3. Rain has to out play skarlet, as he doesn't have the advantage in his toolset.
To be honest I felt really rusty with Rain. You could tell half way through the video when I was getting stance change instead of 43. I've been practicing a lot more with Rain and I think I could do better in that match now that the ring rust is gone. I feel like using EX bubble in that match is kinda a waste. Even if I do drain her meter I use a full bar to drain 3/4ths of her bar. She will always have the meter advantage. I feel that it is very hard for Rain to build meter in that match. I can't really use round house cancels because she can armor out in between or just d3 to avoid it all together. She can build meter all day by making me block slides and throwing daggers. I feel like she can throw out slides carelessly because even if I block it she has no reason to fear my pressure. When she fights Cage and he blocks a slide it's a lot more scary than when Rain blocks a slide. A lot of the traps he was doing on me I know I can get out of I was just miss timing it. I was disappointed on how I played all together.
Yea I got you...I could tell it wasnt your best play. But honestly if you eh HR just one slide, your life will get easier...especially if you do it to start the round to get the meter bonus.
lol You wanna commentate Derp?
Honestly I have no idea how to abuse the f2 string. I believe you were the one that told me if you cancel into a whiffed ex dagger from the f2 string then your +6 or +7 and they can't poke because f4 will hit them out of it. I've tried and tested this a million times and he can always poke before my f4 hits, if it is possible it seems like a just frame cancel and input. Are you sure this works?
yes...you were doing it off of b11f4 with success. If that works then the f2121+2 cancel into f4 works even beter. Ive tested with pig and yes you HAVE to be fast.
Well the only reason it works with b11f4 is because he was poking too late. That string doesn't really cause any block stun so they can poke right as the dagger is passing over them, it just works during matches every now and then because either people don't expect it or because it's pretty fast. I've never had the f4 punish work using the f2 string which is why I never do it and I've tried it a million times in practice mode.
You shouldn't see the dash it's soo fast.
Your body shouldn't be ready. Just your knees and glasses.
