The best way to start a match

[Mikemetroid]

ROUND ONE
FIGHT!
What do you do?

Personally, as Cage, the majority of the time I walk backwards to avoid any sort of offensive attack. Defensive because I'm walking I can easily start heading forward. I know its varies for people but I do think there is a general way people start the match.

Really depends on who I'm fighting (and who I'm using) to be honest. I'll act according to what I know about the match-up or the opponent's capabilities. Sometimes I'm offensive and sometimes I'm defensive.

D4, walk backwards, EX Ragdoll.

Usually poke. I just want that meter is all.

Ahh Dammit. I didn't think to look in that subsection.

Usually just walk backwards and block. If I'm feeling ballsy, I use B2 3.

Though sometimes I just jump in. Amazing how well that works against higher level players who expect you to be...smart.

For me it depends on the player im facing more than what the character choices are.

If I'm playing you mike, I jump in and full combo. I loooooove hearing profanity laden comments streaming from my headset

I usually immediately backdash and crouch block.

I usually block initally for most characters ESPECIALLY Ermac because they usually go for that telelift right off the bat.

 

[Z-911-Z]

Superman punch right at the start.

All depends on the match up.

NJP if that fails right into Square ass or fan while still in the air, or just D1. Holding block is a big favourite of mine as well. lol I love this game.

oO there are still Ermac players who do that ? I am surprised...


As for me i usually go for d3, backdash, or if they jump usually AA them.
