Being inclined to do chip tactics since i can only play vs input reading very hard CPUs. So much for mixups. Air low voltage with traps can be quite safe. Some characters can’t retaliate at all. But damn it’s a waste of some pretty combos.

If enemy has no anti-air chipper = easy win? And btw, is airlowv fly airlowv fly airlowv fly… possible?

I was gonna save it for my Trish offense study but…

sj. instant air dash is faster than instant air dash.

j.:h: has a bigger hitbox. j.:s: falls to the ground faster but its not necessarily “better” since :h: can cancel into specials and you dont have to commit to an unsafe attack. Cancel :h: into divekick into whatever you feel like doing.

I love this character.

12

If your IAD is really low and the character has a small crouching hitbox, you’ll hit the ground before doing the divekick/airspecial. I think that makes the choice fairly easy. If you want the fastest possible overhead, go with the j.S. If you do an H at the same timing you won’t be able to cancel it anyways and it does less damage (once again, depending on the hitbox size). If you want more options, delay your IAD slightly and use j.H.

13

Whatever the case of j.S and j.H it just adds to the variety to her offense.

Also consider tri-jump cause it leads to having the option to empty tri-jump, c.L-M-…

I’m not very good (28% ranked lol) and I usually don’t rush in with Trish unless I’m being out-keepawayed. My pattern is:

Hopscotch (start of all my patterns really, plus makes people think I’m going to stick to keepaway)
Assist (Ryu Hado or Dante Weasel Shot)
Dash,
c.M into combo…

Another approach is
Super Jump
Round Trip
Land and rush

My problem with approach #2 is somehow if I get hit during the rush the Round Trip doesn’t “hit” on the way back. Anyone else experience this or is this just my imagination?

15

Iirc, round trip disappears if you get hit :confused:

So who can out-keepaway Trish? I’m thinking Storm ><

16

Storm can definitely out zone Trish, unless she has a particularly good zoning assist, because unless you beat her to the punch, Low Voltage will lose to Whirlwind every time, and if you can’t pressure Storm with zoning she’ll have no incentive to go anywhere near you, making you have to go to her…

17

Damn so Trish should be able to keep most non-Storm characters out? If my goal is to make my opponents say, “damn how the hell am I supposed to get in on a good Trish!!??!?!?” what might that look like? What are some good movement patterns I should be aiming for? Assist-specific answers are welcomed. Which assists really help her piss people off and how?

Also when playing a hit-n-run style Trish on point, when you do score a clean hit (trap, cL, landed IAD or divekick, etc), what combo are you guys leaning on? Are you really turning every stray connection into a whole jM to divekick to hopscotch to MM to double jump thing? Or is there something more reliable when zipping around trying to be uncatchable? And whatever sequence you’re doing, are you ending with super? I love Max Voltage, what about when I’m trying to battery but score a hit?

Trish is too fun.

18

Sorry for double post, not sure why it happened.

19

Trish is a multi-purposed character, she can rush down and zone out (though she really benefits from assists to solidify both strategies), the key is to know what the opponents character is vulnerable to… yes Storm can out zone Trish, but that just means you have to rush her down, same goes for characters like Arthur and Dormammu. I mean, technically you could pick assists and put Trish on point to gear her towards a zoning strategy, but then it’d be like you’re missing out on half the character…

As far as zoning strategies, I like to keep mobile, in regards to traps/round trip. I like to use hopscotch as kind of a zoning barometer, a lot of people will superjump over it to avoid the upwards shot. If I’m midscreen I like to backdash and pop another Hopscotch to catch them on their way down, or just duck under them to the other side of the screen, whenever you have space to, chip away with Low Voltage and Round Trip -> Switch Sign. Experiment with different Hopscotch/Peekaboo placement patterns and see how people try to move around them…

Combo-wise, I like to use her [gound-combo],:s:,j.:m:,:d:+:h:,:qcb::l:,j.:m:,j.:h:,:h:,:qcf::l:,:qcf::atk::atk: as a way to push into the corner, where her combos are better. And I don’t even bother using air Max Voltage as a combo ender unless I’m in the corner because they tech out before she’s done midscreen (which I do think is kinda stupid).

Use assists frequently with Trish, the extra utility really helps her game, a good beam assist (EM Disruptor, Plasma Beam, Unibeam) really helps her zoning game because Low Voltage is slow on startup. Cancel her blockstrings into fly,j.:s: for a quick overhead, or unfly/divekick into a low for a mixup (and cover yourself with an assist to make it safer to do so (and more ambiguous because the assist will clutter the screen). Hopscotch and Peekaboo do their jobs as keepaway tools, but it DOES help to have a gtfo assist too (Double Lariat, Gustaff Fire, Shadow Blade). Also, Trish loves OTG assists because she has no OTG of her own…

Just experiment with her, Trish can be a really ambiguous character, but you have to work your tools and not settle into a routine or her limited moveset will become readable.

edit: Also, use her zoning/rushdown capabilities to throw the opponent off, if they manage to breach Trish’s defenses, get in there and take the fight to them (and vice versa, if your not getting any luck opening them up with rushdown, back of and start chipping them out)

Wall of text ftw lol…

Just played for hours with some good players. One thing Trish has that few others have: air downward projectile that hits at the exact edge of the screen. You need to do sj+dj and shoot from the top but the sheer distance and height makes it very safe, not to mention even more so with hopscotch. Warning: stirrs a lot of hate from opponents.

21

Well for me this works pretty well and have even had it work in local tourneys, I usually sj, lay down hopscotch and peakaboo then fly and from there you can do alot of things you can do 2 H low voltages, 1 H low voltage the dive kick, or move around in fly mode to try and confuse your opponent since dive kick crosses up. I have a vid showing this strategy a bit so check it out if you want to see what I am talking about.

Trish is by far my favorite character and the most underrated imo.

Trish/Storm/Tron & Trish/Storm/Amaterasu

I say god damn.

23

Totally forgot about fly!! Does it reset the number of air specials/jumps?

24

I decided to stop fighting it and stuck Chun as the anchor (with Trish and Storm) and whoa BABY is this team fun! Now I just have to learn how to use Chun when it comes down to just her, but damn Trish with Chun legs assist is just too great. Crazy compensation for the scaling!

25

I personally think Tron assist is better than Chuns just based on the invincibility.

26

No, you can air dash, fly, but after that no more dashing/flying. You can dash while flying up to twice (that I can tell).

27

I’ve been rocking that second team a lot as well (Trish/Storm/Ammaterasu).

Versatility x 3? Yes, please.

28

I think I recall being able to air dash up to 4 times during flight. (No flight time available for more.) It can be difficult to time right since if you try another air dash before fully completing the last one, you’ll just end up attacking.

I believe that you can do up to 3 more specials during flight as well. (Might be during OR after, but I realized I haven’t tested that yet.)

29

I find it easier to do the multiple airdashes if I a different direction every you air dash.

So for a runaway during flight I do something like: back, up-back, back, down-back

During flight you are allotted 3 more actions however voltages have more startup and recovery than laying traps so usually you only manage to get 2 voltages out before flight ends.
