Welp. I had my first matches with her online today. Started the match, and just forgot everything, lol

Moves, combos, all that.. I only got to play against two people and only had about four matches. But it was fun! I was able to do the teleports when the opportunities came just as good as in training mode, it seemed.
One dude used Kasumi and was patient. The other one used Phase. I'm only guessing the Kasumi player was patient because of how throw punishable Phase is on block (or, he was just chillin and not trying too hard at all). So he was expecting me to just throw out random moves and strings and throw punish me for it. I had this in my mind going into online matches that some people would probably be doing this since that seems to be a highlight surrounding Phase. So what's the best thing to do against someone blocking and waiting for their throw punish? You guessed it. Throw them first, lol. After a few of these




into some lil combos that I tried to remember. He wasn't too keen on waiting for me to throw moves out anymore, lol. Which helped open up opportunities for me to start attacking now since he would be trying to beat my throws with attacks, giving me chances for landing some counter hits and entering the stun game.
The other dude was kind of 'BLARRGGH'ng' it with Phase when I blocked his moves. I don't know if he was trying to beat the throw punishes, or just being the typical online DoA player. But he was slick with Phase and was landing quite a bit of throws on me since I was just kind of standing there too with a mix of seeing what he would do, and forgetting my moves, lol

Which in turn lead me to not going for CH punishes on against his abare, which gave him no reason to stop doing so.. He showed a nice piece of tech which was doing a



over my knocked down body, forcing my rising kick to go the wrong direction, which was coo.
All in all. Though it was only a few matches. I had a good time using her and definitely have some things I want to test out in Training Mode after having a couple actual matches with her now. Like what is possible to do against someone who mid holds right away after getting hit with



among other things that can happen when that move hits. Landing a CH with the follow up

seems to put them in a super deep stun, if I remember right. Which is really good for people who like to use offense for defense.
Uhg. I got interrupted, so I have to finish my thoughts later, hahah.
