Would someone be so kind as to share some advice on the Helena matchup? I am somewhat ashamed to say that I absolutely suck at it.
Alright thanks. I've been trying to keep myself from going for highs against her because those crushes ruin my day lol. I have started using 2P more against her and it does help a lot for dealing with BKO. I've also noticed that I've been able to low throw her after blocking that low kick that puts her in BKO stance. I'm not sure if it's really throw punishable on block or if the player just messed up because it didn't always work. I've also got to learn how to block her strings because my defense needs work.
Oh and yeah I'll add you. Always nice to have more people to play with.
You are not perfect and I am not but I think I can learn here which tools are great for a ceratin situation. I missed some punnishing moments but I dont care. Next Time I will do it better.
This is very true. Unfortunately for me it is also one of my weaknesses as a player. Especially against characters that have dozens of options when it comes to free canceling.Outside of a few moves almost everything in this game is negative on block. If they finish strings then strike out of disadvantage immediately retaliate with a fast poke such as P / 6P /2P or use 1P to crush. If they are playing a game based around free cancelling you have to watch their pattern and learn how to spot the free cancel attempts then interrupt them, which is one of Kasumi's strengths due to her speed.
yeah its 7p next to a wall her backflip move that creates space
It's a guard break that I think is +1. Absolutely should not be used with someone right on top of you or you'll be getting smacked into the wall.I'd be careful how you go about using it though. I've managed to catch people with it here and there who obviously didn't expect it but you may be able to be punished big time for it. I'm not exactly sure how safe it is or anything though.
