Top 5 corner pressure and is pretty underrated IMO
with sektors TU combos he has the rare ability to switch what side hes on mid combo with sacrificing little to no damage output. He can get out of the corner on wake up (extu, can be hit out of sometimes but nonetheless is a very safe option to get outta corner pressure). He can also leave his opponent standing in the corner at the end of a 45% combo with no meter. He can trap certain characters (noob saibot, qaun chi and a few others) with ending his corner combos in 122~upmissle or f4~upmissle etc. With meter he has even more of an advantage with a homing missle that will interupt almost all wake up attacks giving him advantage. I tested a corner combo against quan chi, it was something like 12b1 12 12 12~upmissle and if he did wake up sky drop the up missle hit him putting sektor in another combo situation. if he tech rolled or blocked upon getting up the missle would hit him and interupt any of his attacks giving sektor yet another chance to apply his 50/50 corner pressure after the upmissle is blocked. Noob saibot also cant wake up when hit with 12b1 b21 12 122 upmissle. The clone will sometimes even go through sektor not even hit him!you have enough time to block his wake ups and let the upmissle hit him resetting the situation. put a homing missle on noob in the corner and hes done for. So noob and quan chi will get raped by sektor in the corner unless they have a breaker. Ive tested this strategy against other characters but their wake ups would nullify the upmissle Nonetheless for those characters you always have the option to end the combo in flamethrower preventing their wake up. Also when you put the upmissle out in the corneryour opponent will be confused and be afraid to try a wake up attack in fear of getting hit by the missle so they will just block low which is when you can go into your overhead starter into a safe extu (if you have meter to burn). This is why i believe Sektor is top 5 when it comes to putting on corner pressure.
If you guys test any of these scenarios against certain characters with wake ups and other scenarios feel free to post your results. Sometimes adding one less 12 or one more 12 in the corner combo will give the missle enough time to hit the opponents wake up attack and let sektor block their wake up if needed. Discuss and i encourage you Sektor players to post your corner 'upmissle traps' against other characters.
*also when sektor gets his front upmissle fix (being able to cancel into them) his corner game and overall upmissle oki game will improve greatly putting opponents in even tougher guessing games giving sektor more safe jump chances.
