GG indeed, and honestly don't remember also exactly what i wrote but it was definitely about that you should go more for big combo damage.

Yeah I'm so hooked on playing defense & reading moves to the point that I don't even use my normal style of play which is rushdown

Exactly, not that it is bad or anything but i think that you risk the chance you yourself to be left pretty open to opponents.

Yeah true. Lag fucks me up alot too. Whenever I I go for big damage with Kasumi, when I launch throw or hold, I go for my 9 hit combo string, but can't pull it off because of it. So I go for just 6k PPKK or KK7k 6P+k kk. Have to stick with simple until I get to a scene

I'm still learning Ayane. I got 4 juggles under my belt now plus her punishes & stuff

Yeah i know how it is, and that's exactly what i was thinking about big damage, now i remember you pulling off that move on me on the dwa ring stage. Half of the health gone!

Yep it's launch throw, kk7k, 6p+k k, pp7k 6P+k (vortex) but instead I have to hold back & use my strings for wall damage! So it looks like I've been holding back in all of my matches but the lag kills my Kasumi.

The main moves you see me do from the launch throws/holds are the ones I use for wall damage because it. like the simple 1s I explained. I learn some pokes & strings that can give me big damage too, but again lag butchers all of my shit & leave me in a big time negative frame

I know that felling man, and what is more disheartening is that u have to resort to spamming the same moves against lag because simply strings don't work.

Yeah I know man. But it's all good. Hell you know I know I've learn my character lol. But thats why you've been hearing Brute, Murakame & Native say "your Ayane passes up Kasumi" it's because Ayane doesn't have an entire juggle system like her. She's more of a defensive character with good offensive mix-ups

So of course her tools are gonna be effective online. lol She's top tier anyways, but her moves actually works online better than Kasumi's

I have mentioned this before, but for me you equally good with both of them.

Yeah I appreciate the complement. There can only be 1 main though. I almost put sumi in 2nd to Ayane though, but realized Kasumi isn't like DOA4(Top tier) but she's still a goddess in this game (mid-to high)

I fell that anyone that you say it's your main it is, meaning multiple characters. Like who's your third character? And if you learn that character to your number one lever it goes in mains status.
