I occasionally play against a bison player.
90% of his playstyle consists of throwing out various versions of headstomp/devil’s reverse, scissor kicks and c.lk spam into scissor kicks.
How do I stop him from especially the headstomp spam, apart from “just get better reactions so you can gauge every time if it’s a real headstomp or a devil’s reverse bait in time to srk it”. Because I don’t have those kind of reactions and even though I’m working on it, I’m not likely to get them any time soon.
Trying to focus through is useless as well as wether I attack or dash after he’ll simply catch me with the followup attack for tons of free damage.
Blocking accomplishes nothing, as he gets free chip damage and meter, and I don’t really have a way of following up/punishing on the landing.
I don’t see good bisons using headstomp much at all, so I’m sure there’s a completely basic or easy way to shut this down that I’m just overlooking.
