Like take her cancels from flamingo I think it's 8p+k and then hold, If I mess that up a kick comes out which is -10 which can ruin her. Stuff like that's an issue to me with Sarah. And with her having to play a pure rushdown style, unlike Pai, she has to get in your face. Pai can even attempt...

And then it depends on how the opposition reacts. If they react wrong they're in a scenario where they'll have to guess just out of one move. With Sarah, she can have multiple mix-ups and stuff, but similar to my reasons for Ayane, to me, I see her having to work a bit harder and with more...

Lemme see if I can better put it for Pai vs Sarah. I'ma take a saying Aris said once that I think applies to every game: Sometime's it's better to have your guns ready instead of choosing multiple guns. What I mean by this is with Pai for example, she can do 4p which is +1 a good portion of the...

If someone wants to ft5 just to try to prove they're better then you're better. I don't waste time on ft5's for pride reasons. I'd rather run sets or play tournaments. Set's allow me and _____ to learn MU's and improve each other and tournament's where all that knowledge is executed at the...

We have SJ coming in due time. Maybe my opinion changes when I watch. Although I don't think DOA's gonna be worked on in regards to frames and all that stuff, there's always that shot that someone just utilizes Ayane in a way I haven't seen.

I mean I debate Ayane a lot. Ayane's not some scrub. And she annoys me a lot at times. But when I truly lab to see where she's strong/weak, I feel where she's weak is really glaring compared to the other S's. That was kinda the ultimate consideration I had. But Ayane in S is understandable in...

Ayane doesn't need to extend her stuns. But she's that character that has to get guaranteed damage and run with it hoping the opposition tries something reckless. If an opposition is just as patient as her, and he/she can read her, even if she tries to do some complex, hard to read awesome...

Plus if you can get the opposition to second guess their offense cause their offense starts high, then it definitely works in your favor.

4p+k is a pretty good high crush with a good launch for a decent combo. Guaranteed combo damage is always a good thing to utilize.

Lastly, with Ayane, you have to know how to work with her spinning and back turn. There's pro's to having a lot of mix-up, but there's also benefits to having a gameplan where you have bread n butter that works consistently. I feel Ayane's that scenario where having a lot of mix-ups but having...

Plus she doesn't want a character like Rig and such up close. She can easily get torn apart by characters like him. She to me has to play a style of going in, getting damage, space and hope the opposition is impatient and does something reckless. It's not impossible but it's not beneficial to me...

2p's 10 frames which is good. However, with Ayane also there risks with those moves. Take for example if she does 4p+k which is a good crush should that be blocked, she has to hope the opposition does a high for her to truly have an other good shot of a crush.

66kk4 is a good frame trap. However, I've seen scenario's where players duck that high and that's a bad backturn combo she doesn't want to deal with. She's not excellent with opening up opposition as well. Lastly, Ayane requires patience and execution. At times that doesn't work well.

Ayane was difficult to place. Her spacing is top tier. She has a couple good crushes. However, two big thing I considered is her execution and her average close game. Spacing is important but being able to hold your own up close is important as well. Plus some of her enter tools are really risky.

I know I can interrupt, I'm definitely taking that opportunity. Plus her execution's hard also to me. So having to play a pure rushdown way with a character where execution is of the essence, doesn't work all the way well to me in a tournament scenario.

When I think tournament tiers I have to consider how much easier can someone open an opposition up without taking such high risk. With Pai v. Sarah, being Rig, I'm not as afraid of Sarah as I am Pai. I have to literally wait for Pai to finish or hope she messes up. Sarah, if I see a scenario...

Plus Sarah to me, has to be up close to really work. I feel she has to play a Pure rushdown way which can either work really well or really bad. Pai doesn't have to do that to the extreme Sarah does. Which is why I put Pai higher than Sarah.

Helena's neutral to me's better than Mai's. Although Mai has 9 frames which gives her advantage, Helena's bokuho is really dangerous up close. 33p is a decent crush. She also has SS k which is pretty annoying to deal with. Plus Mai to me has to work a little more to open someone up in comparison...

Pai's mix-up is more dangerous. Sarah's mix-up is dangerous but it can be exploited cause if she does a high then it could be either crushed or stopped with 2p. Pai's frame traps can lead to dangerous stun that you do not want to take part in. She has throws that although aren't damaging can...
