I understand what you mean, i got destroyed on the fist day DarkSlayerSmith came with a basic rushdown Kabal, its a matter of timing your interruption when you guess he is going to extend the pressure. this the little insight i got for playing other Kabals in my country.
this is the insight of Pig Of The Hut and L0rdoftheFLY i honestly still believe is 5-5, he has good options to stop a very good skarlet if he lets her doing her reads 1st
i still have this matchup as 6-4 skarlet with a possible 5-5 it all comes down to who stays with the most meter, and MIT i will get back with u on this MU def a 6-4 kabal favor depending on the kabals knowledge of the matchup, but it can be overcome with good mixups and reads, but in all this is a problematic matchup, ill give some insight once im around a better internet connection.
aight thanks bruh
very good insight, thanks for the help alot, didn't even know all this stuff haha, much appreciated.
i think its 5-5 as well w possibility of 6-4 skarlet favor
ok so whats giving u problems MIT, when u say zoning and "stuff" what u mean by stuff?, as far as his wakeup u can do a well timed f4 into ex RD, u have an option of grabbing, upslash, downslash, or more pressure, in this matchup a well timed dagger between his zoning will give u time to RD in, but u have to feel it out, i hope u have ur cancels out of regular daggers on point u will need it, also its always best to keep atleast 1 meter 4 this matchup, u wanna get in between his zoning, naked ex dash while he is gas blasting in the air, this will give u time to start up your pressure, n most likely get ur meter back.
i have real issues staying on him, i can manage to pressure him for a while, but when he gets away, i'm forced to use meter to get back in. Should i option select his wakeups with armor to make sure he can't escape with an ex dash or buzzsaw/hook grab. Also what's the best way for her to deal with crossups? i sometimes can manage to land a standing 2 to a full combo on ppl, but i want to know a way where she can blow up cross ups consistently. As far as footsies go, f4,3 and d3 seem to be good options for her.
best way to deal with crossups is d3 to avoid them since it lowers skarlets hitbox,if they whiff a jump in punch it would give u a chance to start up your pressure, if they jump kick u its better then a full combo, dont over do it tho because ur opponent will start to see this and deep jik into combo, get use to using skarlets uppercut too its fast enough to blow up cross ups, dont try to be a hero everytime someone crosses u up,, also work on d1 into dagger, dash in, 112, rd into pressure as an AA, i wouldnt recommend trying to option select his wakeups unless u sure he will do nomad dash, or flash parry, if do decide to option select stick with fast execution moves such as, upslash, also if u option select and he doesnt flash parry and lets an regular nd go, blow it up with f4 full combo punish. Well used, well timed, regular dagger cancels, into red dash to get in are ur best friend in this matchup, other then using armor, this will be ur best way to stay in work on where and when to use it, but dont be wreckless because trades arent in ur favor, if i know u MIT, u love poke wars, skarlet is good for this, u should know the gaps in kabals pressure and how to use d3,d4 to start up your pressure, once u feel ur pressure ending such as an f2 1 2 1+2, ex dagger, and u KNOW they are gonna poke out try dashing backwards into f4 after the ex dagger this will blow up any attempt to try to poke out of skarlet pressure, if caught they can get blown up full combo, or u can just add more pressure and meter.
yea ive also been incorporating the b1 1 3 splat otg alot midscreen and corner it really messes with ur opponents mind and disables/defects kabals wakeup game, so MIT that would be good to use to
Oh it matters. If all of you guys start winning tournaments with her it will matter. What matters is what I can do with her at FR and if I can go to EVO.
When i win a tournament with Skarlet its always "ppl didn't know the MU" when recently i've discovered, that if i use other character in the game i get bodied by the Angolan community.
Cyrax, shuts down Skarlet mobility better than Kabal honestly, even if she can time ex dash with bomb setups, she takes much more risks to defeat cyrax than Kabal.
idk I think it's good right now. Everyone seems to agree with the numbers besides a few.
