I don't think she should try to trade iaD with iaGb. If you get hit by the gas you will be spun for full combo. If your dagger hits him it does next to no damage and you are both back to the fire fight. I do like the idea of making him block some daggers to build meter. Skarlet can duck the gas blasts, and fire daggers. Just seven blocked double daggers = one bar of meter. Then use the meter to punish spamming. Patience wins out here.
I like it... but it is a HUGE gamble. I have used this in this situation, but usually if the kabal is mixing low and high GB, its a read on whether the next blast will actually connect or not, if you guess right its great in your favor, if not it was pretty dumb. You either come out looking genius or retarded. All in all I just don't see it being a staple tactic as anti gas blast against a high level Kabal, although it does work against low level spammers.
I agree, that's why I said that all of the above was considering you have projectile advantage; meaning you put the dagger on the screen first.
No it's harder to do for the skarlet player xD
Is that really a reason for her to lose the matchup though? Cage gets outzoned by Kabal but he can put up a fight up close and can do some good stuff once Kabal gets cornered. I feel like Skarlet is similar in that aspect and her EX red dash can be very useful in this match and make him hesitant to iagb's all day. Not to mention she can get almost all that meter back with one block string.
You mean to say: "Skarlet was brought down from S+ tier to become beatable."
Sorry Dave but skarlet is still Better than you give her credit for. The fact that she is so difficult to use shows why she wasn't explored until now. If she was explored the way kabal has been for over a year now we would see how effective she is. Don't worry though it will happen. She will dethrone kabal
Few players are using the character because they may as well learn Kabal if they choose to main a high execution character. Kabal provides more reward for your efforts than she does. I am positive that is why REO is not using her over Kabal.
He can zone her with iaGBs and buzzsaws just like almost any other character. Skarlet players believe they will teleport punish and EX dash through iaGBs on reaction, which is of course nonsense.
You can just dash under them like many of the other characters that are forced to, how is armoring through them nonsense? And teleport is not a good answer to iaGBs I agree with that, her teleport is garbage.
If jax can beat him...skarlet can beat him worse.
<3
Because you cannot possibly EX dash through iaGBs on reaction, or even through buzzsaws at mid range. If you commit to upslash, you can get punished with f+4 xx ND. EX dash downslash is even slower than EX dash upslash. EX dash slide is faster but only does 8% of damage.
Please don't turn this into theoryfighting. You know her tools, and Kabals. Surely you can see how she can get in and initiate offense.
You can EX dash through them on reaction and if they are waiting to punish your options from the dash you don't have to input any move after it. Empty dash can catch a lot of people off guard but if that doesn't work I have no problem dashing under iaGBs until he corners himself where he is much easier to deal with than in midscreen. I also don't mind taking the 8% slide damage for a knockdown.
Come on, man. Skarlet players cannot accuse others of "theory fighting". LOL. Your whole premise is based on "Skarlet can do this and that, but no one has actually done it yet when it matters".
I'm talking about discussing tool vs tool of the character. I'm at work right now, but I'd be happy to write something up when I get home.
