So what does D'Vorah (venomous) get to do against this character? Get put into a combo video 50/50 world and die? Seems like Sonya gets to push every button that ever existed and it beats everything I can do. Can Sonya ever be punished or is it just a wrap whether you block her or not?
Well none of her special moves are safe in Covert Ops. B14 is punishable if they don't special cancel out of it. B142 is also punishable as well. In Military Stance if you guess right, you get combo punish on Sonya as well. If you read that she is going to throw, you can neutral jump punch her or crouch without blocking since it will whiff on you. If you read that she is going for the low out of Military stance, just low block and punish with whatever you want since its -22. If you read that she is going for the overhead, just stand block and punish with whatever cause its -18. You can also armor through her B14 if you have meter and want to take the risk.
*Do not try to armor through inbetween the military stance cancel into overhead if she does it right away. You will get launched.
If you are playing against Special Forces, you can't punish any of the drone commands outside of drone park and park remove. The overhead blast is +3 on block. The missile is +35. The low and mid kamikaze are >+30. So you have to respect her frame advantage there. Since you are playing Dvorah, you can always low puddle her when she is trying to call the drone cause she has no safe way of calling it out unless she confirms a hit. Unfortunately though, by the time puddle hits, she might or might not have the drone out when you try to trade or stop her entirely.
Im sure there is more to this. Unfortunately I can't remember off the top of my head. Going to tag other people on this to see if they might enlighten you on in the MU.
