General Anti-V-13 strategies?

Wow… the Ragna’s second round combo after a pretty vicious beat down was nuts - the epitome of RTSD. Gotta learn to play like that.

More importan things first though, learn to use Barrier more often (damn SFIV habits!).

With v-13, I’ve won more often rushing her and playing mix-up after some simple block strings - using Ragna and repeated crouching As (1A/3A) can lead them to get nailed with a Hades Gauntlet quite nicely (and I THINK you can combo from the bounce if you don’t do the second hit), and of course, you can force a high block and go back low before the back-push from the block string brings you out of range.

I’m pretty new to the very number/frame intensive workings of a fighter (despite playing them for years), but RTSD really is the best way so far. Except for Tager - that vid of Mike_Z’s Tager was awesome though.

i think the OP is looking for stuff like “you barrier block this” or “don’t tech here”

its pretty much a given you have to run in and attack v13 because she sure as hell isnt coming to you

just sayin

Surely it’s also important to point out things that you should do when you rush in though and reach her, in order to maximise damage etc. in case you find yourself at a distance again for a while.

I’m not saying my tactics once up close are correct, far from it, but simply saying ‘rush her’ is only useful to a point. Combos could be suggested as a counter to some of the moves v-13 might use up close (generally her multi-hit C moves from my experience, or her low spinning blade for ‘mix up’), and I think the OP would appreciate that too.

V-13 wasnt that bad ragna was just very good
