PS. My post about blocking was totally not sponsored by the command grappler association, nope.
I am clean!

Only time you should stop blocking is if they have a command grab. Then you gonna die.

Fang V-Skill idea isnāt that bad, but I dunno how much impactful would be for him. His V-Skill has to have an utility like Ibuki or Guile, probably would be better if he would have the ability to combo into it. Sure thing is wack as it is, but thereās a lot of so so V-Skills out there. Even Zeku V-Skill could be better, especially the Old Form one.
I still donāt know what FANGs V-triggers do. I had to figure out Zekuās stuff because he hits really fucking hard and Zeku players were starting to advanceā¦if Zeku gets some buffs I hope theyāre major I want to see him in Top 5 more often

Sako would have had me hit like 5 seconds in, but thatās what makes Menat beautiful. It takes Sako to open you up faster than 10 seconds with her V Trigger. If I do 20 second block down Sako though Iām gonna go off (realistically just V reversal or EX PP). Falke got that huge double hitting V Reversal to get anime off of her.
Also @javert was right. Time Out Edition is coming

He wasnāt gonna beat the OG anyway but that jump back at 10 seconds sealed the deal for meā¦he aināt breaking that wall of ālame stuffā

LOL yeah the jump back at 10 seconds must have just been like āWTF is his stick stuck on block? Let me regroup here.ā Iām sure realistically he jumped back because the air ones are only good if you move away and then set them up off a jump in. Which he did, but thereās no real mix up other than a frame trap if Iām in the corner.
Iāve generally learned the best way to beat most Menats online is to just keep walking away from them during the trigger and lure them into activating on block. If they have to block VTC youāre most likely going to make them lose one or 2 balls before you get hit. Burning time and reducing the amount of damage and setups they can perform. Most Menats have pretty shitty block activate setups so if you block their VTC you already won have the battle. Get a V Reversal in RIP.

Menat v Trigger feels like easy mode marvel. Just block the nonsense until it is up.
I played against a great diamond menat the other day and did quite well despite the ranking difference and almost took the set from her. Her pokes felt OP but the trigger was basically wait for the overhead the game, didnāt feel to borked to me.

Why would I point the fact that he was playing Falke properly?

Gās VT2 is really goodā¦ its just that his VT1 will make you milli rock on any characters neck so hard aint no way you should pick VT2.
Canāt mod in Robo Juri because Capcom are bastards.
Anywho Laura Ivy
Well youāve also got cross up, instant overhead and she can actually punish V reversals if she jumps over you.
Itās a 3 bar if ever I seen one, all day everyday. Ibuki I could hack being 2 bar if she couldnāt build it so easy.
Also anyone noticed the trend for SF5 is to continually suggest a change to an entire mechanic for everyone. Does fuck all for the game. Actually makes it less deep.
