We aren't getting any love in Pyro. So I'm throwing in the towel with this game.

She was fun while she lasted. Which was about 3-4 weeks.

Also I figured out a really good pressure tool. Mind you it can be escaped, but most people never see this coming because nobody really uses this cancel. You can shroud or ex shroud, whichever hits. And run or dash cancel out or her F3 right after you shroud them. Then you can either throw or continue to put on that pressure. After I do the f3 dash or run cancel I like to go with 112 teleport cancel. After that you usually can count on them getting impatient and use the string b312, and the dust is still on them so you get that large dmg and little chip dmg.

Edit- Everytime I used this nobody has seen it coming, hasn't been disrupted yet. So go experiment with this, you'll love it:)

This is like a day one set up. It's not that great. Because how are you opening them up with shroud in the first place? You really aren't.

Most of her strings have gaps or cause too much push back that she can't continue pressure. And trying to play pyro as a pressure character is silly.

Atleast it works tho lol. Usually I open them up for shroud by using regular shroud then ex shroud. And yeah I didn't know that only trying to be helpful as I'm new to pyro myself and someone above not long ago was asking for pressure tips when your lucky enough to get in.

Edit. Also considering that sooooo many characters are anti zoning in this game. No I don't think it's silly. Because a game I played I had below 5% health left, and my opponent with atleast 80% health, I was able to make a comeback and win that round because of my pressure in pyro.

Your opponent respected you too much if you won using pressure. All they had to do was armor after the tele cancel and you would've died.

People that know what to do against pyro won't respect you. Most people in my scene know the gimmicks now and how to deal with them.

Most matches are an uphill battle for her. There's not a lot of tech with her.

The newest tech I have is if you shroud an opponent near the unblockable grab interactables it's 100% garunteed to hit now.

it's just because they don't know the matchup, they don't know she has horrible gaps in the best strings B312 and F43 and nothing of her "pressure" jails, she has more holes than a porn star

So where do you guy's think Pyromancer is sitting in the tier list? My instinct is thinking in the area of Mid.

I don't know if this is new or not, but ever since the 3,4 nerf I can't dust female characters after 3,4. :( Why must Tanya be so hated.

So what are her midscreen an corner BnBs - also for a buff perhaps making the opponent pop up a little more after a fireball hits them when in the corner when covered with shroud

This character lives again. With overall nerf to running, zoning is a viable option. Two hits of armor on dust - great! I'm gonna play her again. Who's with me?

Ive noticed that if i start beating someone with pyro tanya, people are running to Mileena and it feels like a counterpick? Im still new to tanya so the mu is giving me trouble. How are we punishing the telekick? Ive noticed sometimes the old faithful uppercut misses and im not sure if thats due to if im crouch blocking or not
