"Thanks" button abuser.
IMO, no launcher should be safe on block. That's one of the many things I don't get about MK.
Oh I got the joke, you're a rain player

LOL. Dude. All her specials are good. I've played Sonya for maybe 30 matches online for just the hell of it since I get bored and learn characters. Sonya can zone really well with her rings (dat recovery, why the hell does she have better recovery than Noob? lol) and arc kick (your opponent jumps, hit 'em with the arc kick), she controls the air with her air throw/dive kick, she's dominating on the ground with her pressure and MS cancels and her EX cartwheel is ridiculously good in terms of comeback potential. I personally feel her dive kick on the ground is a little overrated, but it's still a good tool.
Where's Kitana's armored combo starter for the Kenshi matchup?
I would strangle a newborn kitten if Kitana got armor lolWhere's Kitana's armored combo starter for the Kenshi matchup?
Two things: If you're looking for a cartwheel and go for an njp, you just opened yourself up to a free AA combo. If you try to d1 sonya's cartwheel, she can ex cartwheel right after and blow you up.
Yeah, talk to Hitoshura about her recovery...lol. Buff Noob for fucks sake.
Ow snap, 30 matches?! Who the heck uses arc kick? Noobs fireballs score knockdownz and are 50-50s...Online? Seriously? Bah.. forget it....
Because Noob Saibot's projectile is the size of a human, knocks the opponent down and hits overhead, Sonya's projectile can be easily jumped over, ducked or traded with by other projectiles without knocking the opponent down.
She can zone well with her ring, yes. But only extreme rushdown chars without decent projectiles. Noob still outzones her (his shadow knocs down, she doesn't recover fast enough to trade with it) and she is outzoned by any slightly zoning oriented char. Her rings should be abused against zoners only if you have the life lead, as I said.
Trade with Sonya's fireball? That has nothing to do with reaction time or reading your opponent. If you trade with her, you got lucky. And yes, Noob's projectiles are great and much better. But they need to be, Sonya's fireball is just excess charecter bullshit.
People that can read their opponent.
Are you comparing sonyas cartwheel being safe on block to Rains Cancelable, hit confirming round house?Oh I got the joke, you're a rain player
Wtf? Noob is another mess.
Nooo- ok yes. I'm comparing both being similar outside of hitconfirmability.
Sonya players who use her Dive Kick placed at the highest angle that's easy to punish on reaction but her instant low Dive Kick that hits their knees on block players get away with it online, it's like Reptile's Dash.

You are not playing it right. When Sonya does her Cartwheel and you blocked it, you can D1 her first before she can D1 you back. Also, you need to watch Sonya's meter because she can Ex Cartwheel through your D1 mashing. Fishing for Sonya's Cartwheel depends on your spacing especially on wake up, you can cross over so it will whiff OR you can step right outside sweep distance and NJP combo punish her Cartwheel. Players especially here are making Sonya's Ex Cartwheel so overrated crying out for a nerf or remove armor, it's ridiculous. Online Sonya is a nightmare, I will admit that. Those things that Death was trying in those tournaments on stream got Sonya's Cartwheel blown up, it's not good as people think. Good players know when to use Ex Cartwheel effectively, online scrubby players abuse Ex Cartwheel like no tomorrow.
But cartwheel isn't an overhead. That's something of an advantage isn't it?
Obviously you don't know how to punish Sonya's Cartwheel.
I know you can punish it, but the risk is greater than the reward by far. I explained this already. Learn to read. Plus who the fuck cares about her wake up, that doesnt mean shit. The fact that she can get out of pressure for free, with a chance to blow up that NJP, get a 20+ dammage+reset, and safe on block.
