i like cr.hp too, i seem to always catch ppl trying to jump in since my goal is to stay in st.mk range. haven’t found much use for her dps other then reversal or combos. but i hardly use them anyway.
Agreed. My go-to close range pressure is c.lk+lp, c.lp+hk (delay the hk briefly to punish backdash), and if the c.lk hit, do c.lk (or s.mk if you’re better at that link than I am) xx rekka. If it’s blocked, you have a ton of options from c.lp, but s.lk will connect and give you all the frame advantage you need for a frame trap, or go into AE pressure, or set up a throw or overhead, etc.
I love poison in this situation because she’s comfortable putting on serious pressure, and she’s also comfortable creating distance and going back to zoning.
Some Poison footage (Xian showing us what she can do): http://www.twitch.tv/hkesports/b/563627216
starts at around 9:26:30.
I’ve been hitting a weird amount of really jumpy / divekicky / Adon players lately, and I can’t really work out what’s the best option to anti-air with Poison, any advice?
For stupid neutral Jag kicks I managed to get cs.HP to work a few times, but I’m not sure if it’s a good counter. I got bopped HARD.
use your jump back attacks on adon.
Side note:
cr.lkx3 is not always a true block string (third hit is not sometimes), but cr.lkx2 > cr.lp/st.lk is always a true block string.
as long as you chain them they will be.
I just saw this posted on another forum.
Should the command input for Poison Kiss be changed to 2x quarter circle+KKK?
Are these two strings frame traps?
st.mp - cr.lp
st.mk-cr.lp
im guessing your implying close versions of the st.mp and st.mk.
st.mk - cr.lp is a 2 frame, frame trap, its good to catch crouch tech’s with because you can do st.mk, throw just as easily.
st.mp > cr.lp is a true block string, st.mp is +3 on block and cr.lp is 3 frame start up so if you hit it right, the opponent can let go of the stick and they will still block the cr.lp
ok. Thanks im still trying to figure out what frame traps I can come up with.
I hate getting hit by Poison’s dp. It’s so shit. Why did I get hit?
On a side note, some people believe she’s untapped potential and top 10.
Cl.RH.
The beginning part of her dp is pretty good, it snaps stay normals. Other then that if she isn’t using her fierce dp as an anti air, she’ll trade or get stuffed.
Who is saying that she is top 10? Could you give us some sources?
Every tier list released by pro players has her at mid to bottom tier.
nemo and acqua both put her in top 10
Both Nemo and Acqua are incredible Poison players, and it would make total sense that they would defend Poison.
However, Nemo has also stated on Twitter that Rolento is top 10 and has untapped potential. His opinion goes against every other tier list available right now, and you know that he has a bias.
Nemo plays poison?
I find that for rolento’s case. Its just that people don’t know how to play against him.
