It is better this way
Also I updated the OP
I agree about Ermac. I think we get murdered by Mystic, but MOS isn't that bad. Changed Demolition Sonya to 3-7, that MU is retarded. With Tempest, you can't just mindlessly string into Klone, but it is pretty easy to avoid him midscreen, now you can just backdash after EX hat, so his pressure isn't nearly as intimidating, and the J2 nerfs as well help everyone against Lao.
im not a main of either of them any more, but any perceived advantage in the neutral is a mistake. 7-3 was far too slanted for a character that will likely lose the game if he gets knocked down near the corner
Yeah. Stunt Double can call mimics on reaction to a clone coming out, which makes clone useless.grandmaster losing to cage?
Predator isn't dead "near the corner". If sub tries to pop a clone after a slide, he will eat a d4 into cancel pressure, and Predator is out of Jail. And if he blocks a B2 through the Klone, he can d4 and escape the corner. Predator actually has above average meterless options to escape the corner. If sub wants to keep Predator there safely, he has to do close clone, and mix between B33 and throw, and sacrifice the chance to shatter. Don't look at it as "oh wow he only gets a D4", it's about getting out of the corner which he can definitely do. I agree that 7-3 is too harsh so I changed it to 6-4. Not only sub players think this, Predator players do too.
He can punish clone on reaction?
Can can call mimics on reaction. Clone has like 118 recovery if I remember correctly. This matchup goes one of two ways:
isn't it a risk for cage to throw shadow kicks because of iceball trades? Also is EX ice clone of no use to try and punish mimic calls?
It could be, but you have no reliable meter building source against Cage. The shadow kick is much much faster than the ice ball and have better recovery so trades aren't really too scary. Sub has options which is why it's only 4-6 imo.
No because a Cage specialist would always choose Stunt Double. The point of variations is for you to pick the best variation for a certain character or situation, and A-List and Fisticuffs give Cage no value versus Grandmaster.
Why would you say that?
Most just don't play SD. I'm obviously not taking a shot at anyone, it's just my opinion.
Yeah I know. Cage and Takeda are some of the characters I'm happy that people only choose one of their variations or it would be OD.
You should rmr that wit Scorpion in general he has unsafe specials so u can always bait out the teleport and full combo punish him. And with his fbrc cancels u should pay attention to his stamina meter as he can't keep doing it forever and then try to catch any patterns he might try to do once his stamina bar is out as he can only do 3 fbrc's for pressure. When u hv him in the corner Scorpion doesn't hv safe options getting out so u can bait it and he has to respect ur pressure in the corner and try to keep a fair distance as Scorp can't d4 u or he will be frozen by the clone so that's another thing to keep in mind.
Yeah but b12 is slow if u need to react fast like for jax b2 or something that is punishable but with fast normals
Gracias, i dont know why but when i need to punish i panic and do 12, f4 is good too i think
B12 should be your normal punish, unless the punish window is really awkward or small. For some moves, like Bujitsu EX Bo Swing, F4 ice ball is your best (or only) option.
