Hey guys need help...trying to grind to hit Master, I'm at Super diamond now and started to get stumped in certain match ups. Any help would be greatly appreciated
- Cammy & Karin How do you stop there pressure with lights? They both have these st.lk that have good range and safe on block meaning they can do them over and over. They use these to zone basically as the player is usually waiting on a jump in. Is spacing and counter poking the only option here?
- Ibuki what's the best way to deal with her dash? Jab is all I have but sometimes seems unreliable on reaction. Also any tips for her mixup? I try not to jump in the match much, but still seem to once or twice be landing and guessing what side she is on.
Laura well not sure if there is any help here besides don't get in the blender. I found out her st.mk is negative on block but so many Laura online seem to spam it. Hopefully punishing that will help, I go through my V-meter in this matchup with reversals. But it seems to be the same thing, I either get whooped or whoop lol. Guess I just need more Laura experience.
First of all, which character is your main ? You probably have more resources to deal with those MUs than you realize.
I got some experience versus Karin and it's a very tough fight. Mostly because you will be forced to play footsies which is an area that Karin excels. If your opponent is spamming the same normals, you can try whiff punishing them or try to frame trap them.
For example, if the Karin is spamming st.lk, I would use cr.mk or b.hk to see if it can get them into a small combo (I play Juri). Once they are knocked down, the pressure is your and you have to ride it all the way through. Going back to neutral is very bad for you since Karin has the upper hand and can do a lot of damage easily.
Ibuki is another tough MU for me because I also do not know where to defend her mix ups. A lot of them try to cross during an attack string, so I press some light buttons and try to make a BnB combo out of it.
