#<#irish#>## how do i even begin to fight sakuyas?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## oh my gosh my favorite matchup
#<#PhoenixM#>## not even kidding
#<#irish#>## seriously?#
#<#irish#>## i cannot fight that at all#
#<#irish#>## the bullet cover blocks me from doing anything#
#<#PhoenixM#>## I enjoy it a lot
#<#irish#>## so how do i approach it?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## get a knockdown
#<#PhoenixM#>## her B murders yours
#<#PhoenixM#>## her 214 clears yours
#<#PhoenixM#>## be careful of jC and j6C
#<#irish#>## well what do with knockdown?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## since j6C can snipe your 5C/jC
#<#PhoenixM#>## her tech distance is the shortest in the game
#<#PhoenixM#>## so your setups become universal
#<#irish#>## bah, a matchup that relies on one thing i cant do well#
#<#irish#>## oki#
#<#irish#>## like, i can put the setups down#
#<#irish#>## but the just jump out#
#<#PhoenixM#>## it's SUPER easy on her
#<#PhoenixM#>## just combo ender, 214C
#<#PhoenixM#>## she's STUCK
#<#PhoenixM#>## and with no DP
#<#PhoenixM#>## and no strong graze attack
#<#irish#>## this is a silly question#
#<#irish#>## but i have lots of problems with it#
#<#irish#>## how do i deal with high jumping out#
#<#PhoenixM#>## where are they jumping?
#<#irish#>## usually either straight up or hj9#
#<#PhoenixM#>## yes, but where
#<#irish#>## oh, out of the corner#
#<#PhoenixM#>## after 5AA? 6A? jumping 6C?
#<#PhoenixM#>## 2A?
#<#irish#>## no like#
#<#irish#>## i knock them down#
#<#irish#>## setup oki#
#<#PhoenixM#>## Oh, just meaty them better
#<#irish#>## they high jump#
#<#PhoenixM#>## watch what your combo ender was
#<#PhoenixM#>## and make sure you do it quickly
#<#irish#>## how do i meaty better?#
#<#irish#>## if im unsure if theyll tech or not?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## you can just wait and watch
#<#PhoenixM#>## or do a setup like j214C
#<#PhoenixM#>## then airdash as you need to on reaction
#<#PhoenixM#>## sakuya though, j2A is a bad move with her 2B being such a good AA
#<#PhoenixM#>## you need to space her really well lol
#<#PhoenixM#>## her mixup is weak
#<#PhoenixM#>## like, block low
#<#PhoenixM#>## what's she going to do for a high?
#<#PhoenixM#>## 66A, f5A, and 5AAA series
#<#PhoenixM#>## 6A is a pretty obvious BE point
#<#PhoenixM#>## but I usually wait for j2A
#<#PhoenixM#>## since she has to risk aerial j623B to catch that
#<#irish#>## so 6A is best BE point?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## [23:45] <PhoenixM> but I usually wait for j2A
#<#PhoenixM#>## [23:45] <PhoenixM> since she has to risk aerial j623B to catch that
#<#irish#>## right, hurr#
#<#PhoenixM#>## oh yeah
#<#PhoenixM#>## her 3A is a high too
#<#PhoenixM#>## but guess what
#<#PhoenixM#>## you want to block it low
#<#irish#>## it whiffs right?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## it only hits once
#<#PhoenixM#>## so canceling is harder for them, and it's worse on block
#<#PhoenixM#>## 6A 6C is a staple pressure tool for sak players
#<#PhoenixM#>## so 6A is an easy place to BE
#<#PhoenixM#>## but you have to make sure
#<#PhoenixM#>## always always always
#<#PhoenixM#>## BE8
#<#PhoenixM#>## NEVER 7
#<#PhoenixM#>## ever
#<#irish#>## oh damn it#
#<#irish#>## ANOTHER BAD HABIT I HAVE TO BREAK#
#<#PhoenixM#>## (unless you are midscreen)
#<#PhoenixM#>## then it's fine
#<#PhoenixM#>## if you BE 7 on sak 6A
#<#PhoenixM#>## she can 3A you before you can move out of the range
#<#irish#>## wait, so if j2a is a good BE point#
#<#irish#>## WHAT DO I DO VS THE AIR 623B#
#<#PhoenixM#>## if she does it
#<#PhoenixM#>## 66A her
#<#PhoenixM#>## but be quick
#<#irish#>## how?#
#<#irish#>## like#
#<#irish#>## the 623b will probably be done by then#
#<#irish#>## i need to high jump out#
#<#irish#>## then land#
#<#irish#>## BE*#
#<#PhoenixM#>## wait, what do you mean
#<#PhoenixM#>## if you BE and the j623
#<#PhoenixM#>## you get hit
#<#irish#>## thats what i meant#
#<#irish#>## so why are you saying#
#<#irish#>## BE on j2a?#
#<#irish#>## if the j623 will hit?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## it's more of a risk for them
#<#PhoenixM#>## and the reward is lower
#<#PhoenixM#>## than 6A
#<#PhoenixM#>## better risk reward on j2A
#<#PhoenixM#>## 6A is pretty okay too, but be careful of falling into a pattern
#<#PhoenixM#>## also
#<#PhoenixM#>## make SURE
#<#PhoenixM#>## you do 5AA 2B 2C j2A 5AAA on her in the corner
#<#PhoenixM#>## it's one of the few it works on
#<#PhoenixM#>## and the damage helps the matchup lol
#<#irish#>## ill test that out then#
#<#PhoenixM#>## 3.5K vs. 2.7K
#<#PhoenixM#>## your choice lol
#<#irish#>## yep#
#<#irish#>## and its braindead easy to do#
#<#PhoenixM#>## YUP
#<#PhoenixM#>## only "problem" is it MUST be corner
#<#PhoenixM#>## also, in pressure
#<#PhoenixM#>## she does have a fast 5A to mash out with
#<#PhoenixM#>## but your ranges are much better than hers
#<#irish#>## how fast?#
#<#PhoenixM#>## space yourself well
#<#PhoenixM#>## I think 7F
#<#irish#>## WELP#
#<#PhoenixM#>## but it's stubby
#<#irish#>## cant mash that one#
#<#PhoenixM#>## so no threat
