Parries throws :O...Going to have to get used to that
Does MB parry gain armour or not
From what I tested, no
Awww looks like it's MB leg grab for the win then
Depends... very first setup I tried was a hard knockdown into meaty nj punch, wakeup MB leg grab went UNDER the opp then she got bounced into the air, allowing a juggle opportunity.
Okay so MB leg grab could be situational , could you test which other moves gain armour when MB please , and does that setup work it the opponent doesn't wake up , in other words is the nj setup viable
Looks like it's just leg grab and arc kick, and in general I'm thinking arc kick will be better overall since it has less of a chance to whiff, as of now leaves you slightly less disadv. on frames (though both are bad) but it pushes the opp back more on block, whereas with leg grab if they block it you are right in their face.
Okay so original sonya is gone with regards to wake ups oh well , so with hard knockdown , have you found any setups or are you still testing , and what about wake ups with regards to the other variations because if wake ups in certain match ups are essential then we all might be buggered
I'm focusing on demo at the moment, but I did run through all the variations and I couldn't find any other MB armoured wakeup attacks than the universal leg grab and arc kick. I couldn't find any strings that will restand the opponent unfortunately. I just realized she has no string variation between variations other than the additional grenade after 1,1,2 for demo.
I'm sure everyone will be able to come up with some good stuff. So far I think soft knockdown into grenade toss could have some really interesting pressure options.
I heard / read earlier on in the thread that divekick has new properties so I'm pretty interested to see what it can do when I get the game I will be sharing all the tech I can find with herI'm focusing on demo at the moment, but I did run through all the variations and I couldn't find any other MB armoured wakeup attacks than the universal leg grab and arc kick.

No good setups yet, still messing around. I'm used to a simple game like SF2 so with all these options it's a little overwhelming
Her divekick seems pretty interesting, since it reaches very far and you can do it any point in the arc. Example is you can jump forward but way out of the opponent's range from a standard jump in, but dive kick would still reach. Or you can bait something and jump back to force them to whiff, and use divekick to punish their whiffed attack into a full combo.
I can't compare vs MK9 since I didn't play that game too much. There's no d4 in military stance if thats what you're asking, just 1,2,3,4 is grab, cancel stance, low, overhead respectively and all are fairly unsafe. The overhead leads to a combo and it looks like the low will be able to with a run.
I believe he was referring to d4 cancelling into military stance since I believe that was one her fastest normals that also special cancelled which allowed her to run whatever mixup she wanted....Then again, I didn't play MK9 like that
She can cancel D4 into MS, but all of her options out of MS are unsafe. The low comes out very fast however (7f) and juggles in the corner.
does this mean that sonyas not very good or still probably to early to tell?
It's way too early to tell for any character. Most people don't even have the game yet and I don't even think any sonya players have played a human opponent offline yet. Hell her other two variations have barely been mentioned! We still have months before we really know anything. My suggestion would be to worry about how good you are first- don't even bother with how good characters are and instead work on getting better yourself. Then in a few months we can all talk about sonya not being good.
How do you picture that?
Now at least there's a reason to use it. 5f move that only stuffs some attacks but not others unlike some 5f jab that is full comboable and less situational? At this point it better parry armored moves as well.Parries throws :O...Going to have to get used to that
