When you end your strings with low cane it leaves you at the perfect distance it's either they block and deal with it or reverse armor it. At that point you gotta anticapate It and use spin cane.
I usually make a point to break their armor with DB1 a time or two before going for the setup. If they delay? Cool. Free pressure. And with the way Bo can mix things up, it shouldn't be a hard task opening them up. Or hell, if they delay and just get up blocking, throw them into the Crop Duster.
Throw. Throw your merry little ass off. At least with that they'll hesitate to wake-up phase. I learned in this MU to stop all my gapped strings short because gatdamn if it ain't nothing for him to whiff punish.
Yeah he can just spam B21 into backdash, that's my entire problem with the matchup. The fact Bo's mobility is SO BAD he can't do anything but accept B21.
D4 can be a good check, but the risk reward is still not in your favor. The good news is that Smoke Bomb and Sumo Stomp isn't a bad trade if he's trying to zone with it. The hit stun negates their ability to convert.
Yeah I found that the rare time I could trade Smoke Bomb with Sumo Stomp it had great hitstun so he couldn't convert, but as it usually is with Bo the move was too slow to trade on reaction -_-
bartitsu is under dog city... i dont know what to say, i havent faced any really good cszs, just be patient, use your long ranged tools and hope for the best lol
This was the first match I played as bo. Panic modes smoke..
Keep in mind CSZs neutral game is full of highs, just get to D4 distance try and get him from there. Even his long ranged F2 is a high. His best mid F4 doesn't reach as far as your D4 which is good. The real problem is if he divekicks or slides in anticipation of your D4 but that's just the matchup
Once you've hit with a D4 use the advantage to challenge with a F1 maybe, you could use something like F1~flips or F11~flips to get in. You can't hit confirm F1 by itself so F1~flips is a risk you just have to take very occasionally but F11 is block confirmable into DF2 which not only has no gap but is also safe at -2.
Now you see why we say what we say. Meanwhile Pig is off trying to sell the bill that Bartitsu is the best lmao.
I go for the 50/50 every time. If they are blocking too much I do fart pressure too. I always make them respect db3. When they do, I get my meterless vortex in. If I'm drinking I get awesome meter build, chip, and grab setups.
Yea I havent looked at his other variations yet (drinking etc) but for competitive play I think he has huge issues in bartitsu. The struggle must be real against competent zoners.
I knew the D4 changed back to variationless D4 but I haven't seen D3 changing to Bartitsu's D4, thanks for sharing! Might also want to post this in the bug thread so NRS can view and fix it
Tom Brady mentioned it earlier but it can be armored through which is why it isn't talked about as much.
I have no exp in the mu. I'll be trying it more in the future though
