Your d+1 is faster than his and your d+3 is a 50/50 trade with his d+1. Or you can block his d+1 and punish it or force him to block after. It shouldn't be hard to make him respect your blocked f+2.
f+2 is ridiculous.

Not to get all theory fighter with you. But lets say he respects my d1 after a blocked f2 and returns with his own d1 into ice clone cancel. Now he can began his d4 pressure and everything is reset.
Why not? Other characters can, some don't even have to spend a bar.
From what I have read in Smoke's frame data, an instant jump kick from Smoke is 14 frames, meaning you have enough time to D4 or even 22 him when he jumps. You should wait until Somberness gets the frame data complied for Smoke to accurately judge. One thing about Smoke after 3D12, he is even on block and most likely going to follow it up with D3 which I believe is 7 frames, meaning if you want to stop him from D3'ing you, you must hit him with a D3 or D1 (which are both 7 frames). The trade system is strange in this game so Smoke might be out your poke attempt. Again, you'll have to wait for Somberness to truly get an idea of what to do against Smoke close range (see what's adv, what's disadv., etc.).
We went back and took this to the lab more. Jumping out at the right time when the clone is absent is the key. With that said it's still risky since you can get caught by Sub's 22.
16bit it feels as if the podcast is continuing on the SZ forums of all places lol.
I question myself playing Sektor wrong very often. The fact that I have to admit my success has been due to people's ignorance says something.
f4? You must mean f2. f4 has shit range and is pretty slow. After a blocked f2, there is no reason your opponent shouldn't just d1. Worse case scenario they get hit by your d1. If you know they are going to d1, jumping over may catch you in an anti air. And backing up cleans the slate. You can't do two f2's on block without getting interrupted by a poke.
Ok. I like this suggestion a lot. Thank you.
well then really sektor doesnt seem to be intended as an offensive heavy character, his defensive options are still fantastic, and he can net huge damage off of almost anything, also being able to instant air every projectile in the game on reaction makes him outzonable by most of the cast. his upmissiles are a huge part to his defensive play, and theyre slower with human sektor arent they? maybe thats where you're going wrong.
That's how I play Sektor, but I find myself back peddeling too much. I walk myself into corners against aggressive characters.
Are they slower? I'll have to ask Somberness if he would test that for me. Even if they were the d1 combo and faster strait missiles are really hard to pass up on.
Shut up.
im not sure man, they LOOK slower, but i dont know for certain, start up time i mean.
Gonna go do a ghetto test with Death and see if we can tell without exact frame data. Will let you know if it's extremely obvious.
