No.
Just some of your propaganda that you have been spewing lately to the community.
Ok, let me respond to this then.
I'm not the one who was saying this. Everyone else was telling me it's at least an 8-2 matchup, and I'm like "no, I just have to work harder". After I played @
ARMOR I realized how the matchup truly works, and that I can't just work harder. My options in the matchup are virtually non-existent if the Zod player is on point. @
Tom Brady said at the beginning of the podcast that he's not a Zod or a Lex expert, and that's where you should stop lol. The reason I was able to take a game off of Relaxed is because he fucked up. Zod can push me fullscreen with mb low laser, which I get jailed into with his trait. Zod can pop trait where I can't do anything because of his zod balls. His trait recovers by the time I can get back in by walking through his zoning. Relaxed missed a couple zod balls and I was able to capitalize on a couple bad decisions and was forced to do everything I can to take as much damage as I can before I get pushed back. The zod players agree with me, and the lex players agree with me, except for Dave and a couple people who don't play this game.
And you act like I don't understand matchup numbers and I'm overexaggerating because I have one really hard thing to deal with, but that's not true. I have a handful of 4-6's (e.g. superman and batgirl), a 3-7 (flash), a 2-8 (sinestro), and a 1-9 (zod). Sinestro is comparable to the matchups Tom's talking about with sub zero. I get heavily outclassed in every aspect of the match. The reason this matchup is different than zod is that I'm able to make a bunch of right reads and do damage, even though it's extremely hard to get these opportunities. I'm fucked by his zoning, I'm fucked by his footsie tools, he gets his trait completely for free which almost kills my trait game and any potential for getting in on him. But the difference between him and zod is that I have options. Granted, they're not the best options, but they're options. Realistically, when I didn't hit Relaxed at the beginning of the match I should've gone to restart, but I had to hold out hope that he might make mistakes or bad decisions. And even when those mistakes and decisions happened, it took so many right reads for me to be able to do that much damage where there were so many risks of being pushed back fullscreen with a single parry, push, or d12.
I don't cry about bad matchups. I'll complain about it sometimes, but I'm not going around asking for pity for Sinestro. I'm mad about a matchup that's broken. And I'm mad because I've run into this matchup at every major for the past year (Relaxed twice, Armor, and Pig). And I'm not even the one going around crying about it, other people are making posts about my match and you're just the one crying because you don't want people thinking your character is broken. I've played this matchup many, many times with RelaxedState. Our casual scores are roughly 20-1 where he'll quit because he's bored of winning. If we played 7 more games from that tournament to make it a ft10, I would tell people to bet money he'll win 7 of them. I don't downplay my character, I've been the biggest optimist for Lex in this community since day 1. You've just been the biggest downplayer of whatever your main is since day 1. I actually thought you were trolling on twitter earlier when you posted that but apparently not? I feel bad for people who have to play bad matchups, like Tom did in mk9, but this is a broken mechanic that doesn't allow me to do anything and you're the only one who can't see that because you're either willfully ignorant of how the matchup works or you just want to downplay for fun or some shit.
