Go into practice mode and do the B332 MS into Cancel against a character with a fast armored special. Cassie for example.

What about off of b14?
Pretty sure its anytime she goes into MS. The active frames is just horrible on that move.
I feel this way as well.
When done at the right range, it's safe, iirc.
Sonya needs absolutely no buffs, let's make that clear. Her MS mixups are unsafe because they are so good, it's essentially a 50/50 into another 50/50, with the threat of a cancel into parry. The reason she has holes and can be punished is because otherwise her mixup game would make her absolutely broken.
Oh I'm not complaining I was just advising those who were complaining about how "strong/broken" Sonya's corner game is, that after extended play online against a wide variety of players, Sonya's Corner games mostly affects noobs, who dont really know what options they;ve got to escape or how to block lows/OH, most of the matches against experienced /seasoned players especially those who main Scorpion, Mileena and kung Lao , even attempting to approach/trap them in the corner while they have a bar is close to suicide for a covert ops Sonya player because if their 8 and below frame wakeups manage to out hit box me they can absolutely destroy me and launch me for a lovely 33-35% plus combo of punishment. you see all of Sonya's mixups are not safe., they're tricky but once you get used to them and study their properties they all can be undone easily.
try alot of luck, as it stands in its current form, I cannot see covert ops winning any major, it lacks damage, safety, zoning and specials.
Its not so much that she is braindead but she revolves entirely around guessing. She just rushes in and forces you to guess(Sonya has ways to blow up people trying to blow up her holes). She's incredibly one-dimensional.
I understand that she can be salt inducing, but calling a character braindead due to your lack of MU knowledge or because you're not exploiting their weaknesses is a scrub attitude IMO. I believe her MS is actually a watered down version of her MK9 iteration. I mained her in MK9 and that version was a lot worse. CO is not even her best variation anymore.
I think he means that you can armor through all of her options except for the low.
It received buffs like 2 seconds ago but it's already clear that she has better damage and better wakeup at least.
That's a very shallow way to determine how "good" a character is.
"It received buffs like 2 seconds ago but it's already clear that she has better damage and better wakeup at least than CO."
Ummm isn't that the whole point of a fighting game guessing what your opponent will do?
Well, come to think of it, you don't have to excel at everything to be able to win a major. REO and Crawlingshadow won ESL with CO Sonya once and I see CO Sonyas placing top 8 at tournaments consistently enough.
Its not the same thing. Against pressure characters you at least know where their holes are and where the best place is to try and poke out. Against zoning characters you know if they screw up you can go in, etc. But against characters like CO Sonya, you just have to guess high or low, sometimes twice in a row. Its very exhausting and very annoying to fight against, which is why people get mad when they play her. Its also the reason why she will never be bad, because all it takes is for your opponent to guess wrong 2-3 times and they lose the round.
