I’ve just been struggling against Jin users recently I swear if my one wish that every Mishima players console would randomly combust, then I would be a happier person online. Online turns me into the most irritated person on the planet.
So I recently switched to Poison, and I am at a loss trying to figure out the best way to play her. She has zoning tools and pressure tools, but they seem really rusty compared to other characters.
So confused. I’ve lost constantly since I dropped Guile for her lol! HELP!
PS: I use her with Hugo

Well it’s pretty split down the middle here. Some of use Zone and some of us rush and frametrap.
I personally see that the ideal thing is to frame trap. which is great because she has some great tools for it. but weighing all three in properly to match each MU will be what makes us outrageously good.
We have a video threadyou can check out. and I think i’ll be contributing soon enough.
I’ll head to the video thread, thanks!
What are her frame traps? I’ve figured out that LMT and WoL are generally safe on block, but I usually get CH when I try to go for a jab after.

Try crouching jab it has an i4 star up and is +3i on block
Ironically I’ve been using Jin o_O but im not sure if im going to stick with him, King is decent…and by most people standards he’s the worst grappler in the game atm…but I’m liking the Gem Setup I have for him.
I had a question though, What Gems you think I should run with Lili or Juri, I’ve been kinda dumbfounded on what gems i should be using, Lili gets alot of normals in so I was thinking about the “land X normals” condition, but she also chains a fair amount of specials together aswell…
Hm…
Maybe some pressure gems will work like have your attack blocked a certian amount of times for Juri. If you can land four specials. I’d go for some crazy stuff.
with Lili I’d say it’s up to you.
I know some lili’s that just speed right into the fray and like to clutch really fast and have gems that activate hand in hand.
- The drawback is that you are left without buffs at the latter end of the match so if you are constantly switching that may be a bad idea.
There are some that pace themselves, and have gems that pop up for situations for long periods of time but they almost never get to activate their buffs because of it.
Gotta find what’s right for you.
I’d be more inclined to have a land how many blocked attacks because I love her drill kick and early on I would pressure heavy because I don’t need to worry about Alpha Counter. If I open them up it’s a bonus if not then I haven’t lost much because I would have at least one gem to back up my error. because I’m error prone lol.
Tl;DR : You gotta do what’s right for you.
@Combo_Knight, I get ya~ My Gem’s usually burn out rather quickly because they activate early on. With King I have two Launcher Gems(Immense Power lv.1 and lv.2) so the time actually varies. the EX Immense Power lv.2 works out though because its for 30 seconds…or about 1/3 of the round…if i do it around when I usually get my second launcher I can make quick work of my opponents HP. basically I’ve been using my EX gems to the fullest…
Question. I cant seem to save replays. Like that option does not come up. Is there some option where I can save replays? I tried looking for it but cant find any. Only time I see that option is when I am in a room and I am not in the current match that is going on.
I have experience In a few matchups that I would like to share but I dont come on srk enough for me to make the thread and keep up with it
Blaze Said he would get around to making said thread, have some patience.
i love customizing lili’s alternate costume to poison colors god…this is my second favorite team poison x lili.
Been using Her with Yoshi so eh…those Swag combos give the best kinds of hate mail.
I finally started playing this online, started on the holiday. I’m almost at 3000BPs on ranked, the online feels ok, better than SF4. I never thought the sound bug would actually bother me but it kinda throws me off of my timing, but I’m getting used to it. My team is Poison/Julia, I have one question, how the hell to you guys play vs. good Hugos? I feel honestly stuck (ok I had like only 2 matches with a good Hugo, but still), with boost gems he can easily deal 600dmg combos.
I don’t use gems btw.
learning his match up is easy, applying it though is another thing. o_O Hugo can be zoned or annoyed to death but how I’ve been skating away wins is just by not jumping in on him and being sort of random( think 3S). But honestly i think just knowing the ranges and knowing what he can do to you and studying his setups are key in shutting him down. Also use Gems >_>'s Poison needs anything she can get…not saying it to sound scrubby or anything but…206 damage BnB is garbage…Yoshi does better then that without gems. what gems you want to use however is up to you, Im currently using a Immense Power and a EX Onslaught Gem.
I just can’t, I don’t like gems, and I train for tournament settings. I can do just fine with Poison’s low damage, Julia covers that for me, I can get 300+ of a linked manual launcher.
Ok… thanks to the holiday I played a lot of matches in this… but why are there so many characters that requires almost no thought to be played? Mainly Hugo, Kazuya and Rufus for now, they seem a bit retarded. I don’t think Poison can zone Hugo if at all, since her projectile doesn’t reach full screen he can stay full screen charging and backdashing, and since time is a factor in this game this is not good. At a mid range Hugo can react with his armored lariat into insane amounts of damage, plus it’s fast, even if you buffer a chain into any poke he can counter hit you a lot… and he actually has a mixup on you if you knock him down. I’m really not liking this match up for Poison… just damn.
Rolento requires less thought than all 3 combined, just sayin’. Hei, Ken and Cammy are also hella braindead in this game.
but i agree, it really annoys me how lots of characters can just derp their way into a win/timeout.
anyways…for Hugo i personally just stay away all day. He has alot of options and stupid shit upclose so just stay as far as possible.
swat his splashes with s.MP, s.HK or MK KbG, punish his lariats with c.LP or c.MK into whatever combo, you can stuff the armor with s.jab>c.jab or LK KbG on reaction. backflip or backdash away if he tries that c.lk xx Clap nonsense, as long as you do it in between the c.lk and clap you should get out of it without getting hurt.
you can instant overhead him with j.HK, but he can snatch you with EX backbreaker after it so dont abuse this.
Usually I tag cancel into a combo if i decide to do the IOH coz 1) its safe and 2) it leads to big damage as my partner is the derp himself, Hugo >.>
shrugs I use gems online…thays where they matter. Offline its a easy transition…
There are some derpy characters no doubt, idk maybe i havent ran into a godly one…but i can lame it out fairly easy.
Poison x Hugo is still kicking ass and taking names for anyone wondering. Hugo’s frame traps are just crazy good and EX LMT never fails to scare opponents into just handing over frame advantage.
Like taking candy from a baby. This duo is truly, truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
