How do you deal with the double matchup? As I see it, all she does is hornet bomber xx head super. He’s now in, with free mixups for days. This is really frustrating to deal with. Any ideas?
solo Double main
Don’t let it through Push block and wait out cats or call hornet assist. or super on reaction. that’s all I could recommend
I come from the Double forums.
OoooOooOOoOoooo
Yeah enough of that. Hornet Bomber is only invincible on startup. You can beat it on reaction with either an Argus Agony or a well timed QCF + HP x3. Her hurtbox is hard to beat with normals since the entire front of the move is the active box (with hurtbox trailing behind it) but I’ve been shot out of more than a few of my bad Hornet Bombers.
this works fullscreen, if double hornet bombs from midscreen or closer theres nothing you’ll be able to do. having air show george out helps though
The only excuse for losing to a full screen Hornet Bomber H is if the point character is Peacock or Parasoul. Nobody else can cover Double effectively from that range so you can just punish as you please.
Not Hornet Bomber Assist… he’s saying when Double is on point and uses HK Bomber then CANCELS it into catalites to make it safe. It’s a very good strategy vs Peacock… and most other characters really. Double is more than just an assist Arachnofiend.
Oh derp. Yeah I’ve been fucked over by that myself by a Double/Cerebella team that emulated Strider/Doom. If they’re approaching with Hornet Bomber I think your best bet would be to teleport behind them as soon as possible; she has to commit to the move until she hits the ground so by the time she does so you’ll be on opposite sides of the screen again. Haven’t had the chance to test it out yet but it seems like it would work? A smarter Double could get around it by using some safer approach methods, of course.
Pretty much this. Her teleports are great for getting out of bad situations and when you’re against Double, you’ll be in plenty of them. Having full screen attacks like the Bomber and the Luger are bad enough. Throw in the Bandwagon and Double’s dash that goes through pretty much everything doesn’t help the cause.
One quick note on the Bandwagon, I haven’t tried this out much but I think a well timed teleport is able to dodge the Bandwagon. Maybe not the most useful thing in the world but just for those cases where you’ll want to dodge rather than take the chip.
throw bombs/cannonballs, use item drops sparingly. It’s literally a 8-2 matchup in peacocks favor as long as you have some type of invincible DP assist.
