I know people often comment on her guaranteed damage, but they usually only come from her i12 throw or counters, all of which net about the same as i12s or counters of the rest of the cast, just with the added mixup.
I just feel that she needs to be able to get damage more readily instead of relying on a poking guessing game.
Haha, we know you're not talking about online, but Pai is ridiculously good online. However, offline, I can see her running into difficulties against... say, Ayane.
I do love her reset game, but it actually compounds the problem (as far as guesses go). She sacrifices a launch for a reset, then has to hope that the opponent stays blocking so she can throw, or hope they attack so she can get CH damage.
Don't get me wrong, I love using the resets, but they don't help mitigate her guessing issue.
Believe it or not TN cut out some pretty useful tools paid had in VF5FS that could definitely benefit her in controlling those situations. That's TN for ya tho hahaha
