This one's for you
I had my first small experience playing against bird lao last night. It's pretty ridiculous...I'm not sure what to do with any character other than try to mess up his divekick spacing.

its fuking dumb
You literally have to throw out everything you knew about the game and just be random like he is. d4 everything and dash to create a new type of space. Pray he fudges the spacing and dive kicks into you.

sorta.....
I can only imagine what Bird Lao can do to him.
Lao really is meant to jus tpick up and go
I did a crow lao once... and its just dumb. I thought very little about what I was doing... almost autopilot and didn't hardly lose.

No thought.... just do. Punished? bah... thats just meter for me to extend my combo's.

When Cyrax teleports.... does it consider him airborne on the other side? Or do you get that stupid "fake blocked" animation?
Yeah he is, you really can't do much to it though as Natzees mentioned. So he isn't ever really feeling threatened when he teleports on Reptile.
 
While we're in the matchup room, lets talk about Freddy.
Fuck Freddy. He can seriously get away with glove toss toss toss. No claw needed. He can get out of everything. I'm stuck full screen all game lol.
Duck toss, eat claw. Jump it, eat claw. Ex AH, wasted meter. Ex slide, eat claw cause the fucker doesn't go full screen.
Can i walk up to him? No cause we have worst forward walk/dash around.
Fuck Freddy Fuck Freddy FUCK FREDDY

I have been saying that Freddies are playing this MU wrong. Too many of those fuckers want to hit you with claw when it's unnecessary. However I exaggerated the Mu a bit. If you can get in range and get an ex slide to hit, the games begin. Double dashing past Freddy as well as Kenshi (might as well knock out two broken ass birds with one stone) you open up a whole new mix up game that really fucks with both of them. If they like waking up with their busted ass wake up attacks you double dash after the slide then JIP, this will fuck with their wake up game HARD! LIKE REALLY HARD! Seriously ex claw, ex spirit charge, ex rising karma will all whiff if they are timed right. Wait to long though and you get stuffed and take the chance of losing the bar of meter anyway. All while you get a full combo and a fb on screen, and while Freddy has an easier time dealing with FB's than Kenshi with teleport, however he can only teleport backwards if he doesn't want to eat a dash, so you will still get a chance at some pressure/mix ups. This is a MU that I'm trying to work untechable throw combos into because I think it could change it drastically. (Kenshi too) They will both start getting even more afraid of fb's anytime you throw one out.

Usually if i hit an elbow dash, i just take a step forward and elbow dash again. It puts you behind them basically. Helps a bit cause it screws on the wake up attacks. I just go for grab usually lol.
But really, Freddy had it so easy in this match. Just back up and toss gloves lol. Getting in slide range is all we need lol

It's not the only thing you still have to just be patient and wait for openings, or try to bait him into tossing a glove/claw.

What do you guys think of the sektor matchup? I honestly haven't played it enough to gauge a number. Even? Can missiles even keep us out? Iatp on forceball reaction?
I think even. You just have to get in that ass pretty much. Iatps can indeed be done on reaction to any projectiles rep throws out so only use them for Oki's

So like, are we just supposed to stay in?
What would you say the ideal range to stay in is at?

If you are getting outside of sweep range you are playing with fire because Sektor has normals with reach that are pretty fast and put you full screen. F2 might beat some of it I'm not sure. Flamethrower can start to be a threat as well.
