The Ultimate Tron Bonne Matchup and Match Videos Thread

Yes i definetly know that she can ToD most chars but thats where the whole assist 2 screwing up comes in but i see where your coming for. I normally try to follow up my air throws but im HORRIBLE at it so i miss it a ton, i either press it too early or too late. I honestly really dont like the dorm vs tron matchup so when they said i was playing wentinel i kind of freaked out inside lol i have no idea y he didnt cr.M me though. Then i didnt use bandit boulder in my combo extension because i dont get it consistently enough yet so im skipping it for now. Thanks guys the movement tips are really helpful need to go to the lab and test these.

Mmm the key to winning when playing Tron vs Dorm is to be next to him and applying pressure (kinda same for most characters actually). You also want to remind Dorm that your normals reach farther than his, so out range him with j.M/c.M/etc since his fairly large hitbox means that he’ll probably have to get hit or block these.

Mm while im here, whats everyone’s opinion on the Tron vs Spencer matchup since we havent talked about anything matchup related in awhile. I lost pretty badly in a set against Spencer (god damn bionic arm) so im looking for opinions.

From what I can tell, wire zip lines arent a problem since Tron can stuff those with Servbots, or air grab when he gets close. Tron can also command grab/regular grab if Spencer tries to go for an overhead. Throwing in assists make things a little harder, but I believe that Tron can manage fine even if he gets in (you just need a good defense)…

The real problem I find is that Bionic Lancer will punish any attempt that Tron makes to get in. Since she cant crouch cancel her dash immediately, a Bionic Arm will hit her if Spencer is looking for it. Air Dashes are even worse, trying to IAD mid screen is a death sentence. So far I find the best you can do is to just jump in and hold block if you want to get close to him.

So I think the best way to tackle this is to just stay full screen, zone, and punish Spencer’s attempts to get in rather than the other way around.

then Spencer will be like ‘lol ok’ and fish with his hook, reel you in on hit, otherwise safe on block. that + confirming into maneuvers or arm keeps your tron really honest

Headdesk I completely forgot about the GET OVER ERE. Well most projectile assists beat that pretty easy, so you just gotta make sure you have one on hand so that youre covered, I suppose. If not… I guess youre kinda screwed.

Really the only way I see Tron winning this is if she has the better projectile assist than Spencer and is able to play every angle perfectly…

Not sure about this, but can’t you jump cancel the dash any time? If you see the flash while you’re dashing, I’m pretty sure you can just up-back to block the lancer in time. AA bionic arm is a legitimate problem, but so is any invincible AA super. The thing is a basically an EX shoryuken.

I feel like I’ve had success against Spencers in general just by playing defensively. I know that in this game, that’s usually not a good idea, but Tron’s defensive options can poke a lot of holes in Spencer’s offense.

Fun stuff: try a psychic st.H to nullifiy a reel in punch, and punish with drill. The move has like 30 frames of recovery. Of course, he can cancel into Bionic Arm, but it’s hard to do that on reaction if you haven’t seen it before. Also, if you have 3 bars, you can lvl3 throw the Bionic arm on reaction, lol.

Slightly more practical: a well-timed gustaff flame will nullify a projectile assist and AA spencer’s movement zip at the same time. Try it when backed up by your own assist for best results.

Try to airthrow every unassisted zip. If he does the movement zip low to the ground, you can chicken block the zip, then airthrow him.

Untested tech: if you think he’s going to go for the up-grapple -> command throw reset on you, try throwing/command throwing him. He’s +2 on the restand reel in, the cmd throw is 5 frames, and his cr.L is 7 frames (a 3 frame and 5 frame window respectively). Your 1-frame throw should beat it.

For some reason, I’m not particularly scared of Spencer - there are solid options against him, you just need to play careful.

… Actually im not too sure why I forgot about that. Tron cant cancel her dash until after 11 frames, but she can jump cancel at any time. Therefore she can dash forward and still be able to jump cancel into a block.

I guess all you need to remember is to never IAD Spencer.

Tourney tomorrow, wish me luck! It’ll be at http://www.twitch.tv/boomgorillas if you’re bored.

Knock em dead bro. :slight_smile:

Good luck! Show em the power of a girl in a robot suit!

Well i went to the runback and did… eh i think i went 4-2? Not great and not horrible. I did have one match on stream tho and it was against clockwork.http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/319279406 I believe it’s around the 1:30 mark,too bad i lost that one xD. Oh well ill try again another week!

wow you played a lot better than what I’ve seen. props.

I’m guessing you didn’t mean to CC sent in on that 3rd match.

Thanks i really appreciate it, i’ve been trying to utilize more of the technology that tron has than just j.H and j.S lol. Also i defiently did NOT want that cross over counter lol it messed up the 3rd match completely :P. I had a blast tho

heres some of me playing on the reddit lobby!

Grah…I should get back to the runback somehow so we can get some tron mirrors going…

Speaking of Tron mirrors. I think theyre the only mirrors where you have to play legit footsies, lol.

With Tron mirrors, you already know your opponents means of approaching and such, though their assists of choice can influence a lot. Then again, landing that first hit on Tron with Tron can still be hard to capitalize on because she might drop out. I always have to make the combo simpler, in turn lowering the damage significantly.

In Tron mirrors I just play super defensively and see their approach patterns and if they do something unsafe I’ll bait it out (i.e. RANDOM DRILLS or super telegraphed, uncovered IAD pressure)

Here’s an old set of my friend and I playing a super long set in the middle of the night. The Tron-DMC matchup doesn’t go too well in Tron’s favor :frowning: Sorry for the blah-looking video quality… oh and sorry for how sloppy Tron is looking out there lol. P.S. my Akuma and Sentinel are full of fraudulence so don’t get your hopes up. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL31C8EBE3EF764EE1
