It's not that you have only 1 defensive option. It's that you have 0 defensive options, but you're allowed to abare at the risk of pretty much dying immediately.

Again, he didn't lose half his health from a counter hit. He lost it 'cause he got counter hit, and then he made a bad read after. Literally, from that stun he could have probably not even slow escape and just sidestep the power blow and punish it. The only reason that power blow landed was...

That's actually very atypical. It's huge commitment to stun into Power Blow without building to a Critical Burst. Normal players won't go for it 'cause it can't work in normal situations. In fact, it only works in that exact situation.

For the record, I've actually been playing VF for almost ten years now and DOA for less than one year. EDIT: No, he just got baited. Really really hard. Are you trying to say that all players who get read are bad players?

That's a new one. You judge a game based on watching videos of it? That's like watching ST and calling it just button mashing. He made a bad read and he got called out on it. That's what happened. Plus, tourney nerves. Also, that's exactly why you don't just hold out from stuns. 'Cause you get...

"Why doesn't this game play like this other game?" Get over it. If you don't like it, don't play.

To be fair, Unshu and Heichu are beat by all sidesteps. The Unshu OH doesn't even track standing sidesteps. :v

How does the Kokoro/Bayman matchup work? I don't disagree with it, I just literally don't know anything about that matchup. Is it just the roll that puts it in his favor?

Why isn't Gen Fu on every list?

It has like 0 range, though. I don't get frame advantage when it whiffs. :v If it had a tiny bit more range, it would be amazing, but it doesn't and it's not. I'd rather do 9KK, even though that's hella risky on block (but you can train them to respect the third kick), 'cause at least I know...

You're forced into a situation where you have less options than the opponent. That's exactly what an advantage is.

For the moves I listed, I considered them as parts of string as well, so a lot of the 2H+K stuff is actually string 2H+K. I did listed a bunch of negatives to it, though, and I don't consider the move (or even the string version) as a good move. That said, it does fill a niche for her, being...

Can you expand on the everything around you part? I don't think I understand what you mean. As for not being scared of what people rushing at you, it's not that I'm scared. It's that I can't punish them for it. Spacing is important and it's pretty much always in the favor characters who benefit...

Yeah, but the other guy's gonna see that and you end up rotating a tiny amount and the sidewalking moves you into each other. I agree that there's some P1/P2 bias on certain stages, but if you're allowed to move before the round actually starts, they have an excuse to not fix it.

That's my point, though. You can't limit the other guy's positioning before the round starts. When the round starts, you can actually position yourself and punish the other guy for greedy movement. Before that, someone who wants to move in close can do so without any risk. If you're saying to...

Gomenyasu~

YEAH!

Haha, yeah, I get upset when people crush me when I'm using Leifang. Like, "Hey, that's my job!" It's the best feeling just hard baiting their attempts to pressure with my own crushes, though. Just watching their mid kick completely pass through Leifang's back as I 3P+K brings such ecstasy~

4P BT P+K 236P is nice and I use it often, but the BT P+K is holdable and the 236P is slow escapable. What I think makes 4P good is that it also leads to BT 2PP (low mid) and BT 4K (launcher). The problem I have with it is that the crush window seems to be too late for me to consistently time...

Oh, you're right. Somehow I never do it on block even though I use it as a juggle.
