Yeah, I'd be happy to beat up on Pyrrha. I'll be more than happy to upload the footage, too.

i stumbled over here from the pyrrah forums since i couldnt help but feel liek every time i face a NM in ranked its like getting the 1up mushroom in mario
uve done a good job so far outlining how to beat nubbie scrub pyrrahs who rely on bad moves (ie 1AA 66B BE) now what do u do against a pyrrah who doesnt use punishable moves, can see all ur slow lows, breaks throws consistently, and turtles n waits for u to to do an unsafe move, and has stab locked and loaded at all times?
i personally feel this matchup is very unfavorable for NM, and against a patient, safe pyrrah is unwinnable unless he can continually guess the throw right
If I forget to message you it's xKINGxACEx=PSN. We can talk theory all day, but I like to be practical about how the game works.Thank you, Im glad someone finally acknowledged the lack of balance in this matchup. Seems everyone was in self denial, or maybe they only played scrubby Pyrrah's online and were biased. Either way, when you face that Pyrrah in a tourney, you should be realistic about the matchup if you want to do well.
I agree its impossible to break every throw, but I just feel it SUCKS to have to rely on throws which is a 50/50, on top of the prior 50/50 of will they duck or stand ( a 50/50 I don't personally subscribe to, ducking is for suckas). I personally don't have that much of a problem with whiffing with NM, but I also try to stay in 2A range, and it seems he always has all this forward momentum towards me, which makes it easier. I actually suffer the most when I am outside of 3B range, which makes me wonder if the best strategy for NM against Pyrrah would be a keep away game somewhat similar to Astaroth in sc5 playstyle, with throws mixed in when they get in your face. Obviously, this is just for the matchup of Pyrrah, as he can steam roll over most with his unsafe combo starters with little fear of painful punishment.
As for the guard crush I keep hearing that mentioned, I honestly never fear being guard crushed by NM. Yes he can take off 50% with a guard crush, but after you land that guard crush, what are you gonna do for the next 50%? Guard crush me again in the same round? Perhaps there is a particular safe moveset he can rely on to guardcrush, but I am not familiar enough with NM to know if he does have a decent amount of moves to do so with. I noticed his flashy blue moves are a high or a very slow low. Of course I am sure he has other moves that are good for guard breaking, but are they good enough?
Can someone please test this stuff out with me? banes49 = psn
Yes!! 9K this is what I want to hear, why is this good?

NM vs Pyrrha should be a 4:6 match up in her favor. Lets not kid ourselves. However, you can't break all my grabs. And you eventually have to attack, and when you do you have to contend with NM's whiff punishment. And you can't seat back and block all day since you have to deal with guard bust. I respect the fact that pyrrha can punish a lot of what NM does, even more so with her CE.
no clue mang? I always heard omega is worse than pyrrah but I don't know much about omega either tbh, can you record some of your matches with your pyrrah friends enraged?
You can just play DIME. I played against 4 pyrrhas on Sunday at the Singapore Nats and I didn't lose a match, 4th time playing against human opponents in SC5 as well. I also felt I left a lot on the table with block punish, step punish and general defense etc. Wasn't in the competition cause I was the Emcee.

lol wtf 4th time playing agasint human opponents? u dont even have that much experience and u r talking with such confidence about the matchup? u r starting to lose credibility in my book, maybe there is some truth to what u say, but this requires an experienced player to demonstrate this, not someone who thinks beating up computers pyrrah is ez
lol i tried to add u and it said u had exceeded the maximum amount of friend invites possible, y u so popular 4

are you really gonna compare how long we been in it? why do you always have to make such bold assumptions? do you realize assumptions make an ass out of you and me? i have been playing since soul edge, competing since sc1, and got really into the tourney scene in sc2, if your from singapore, then ask your buddies who played sc2 about "banana" when they came to the US for evo2k3, i also organized various tournaments and meets for sc4, this is pointless tho, does me being in the scene for a lot longer than you prove that i am right about pyrrah having the upperhand? no. so stop bringing up stupid points
dude pyrrah has some awesome tech crouching moves, the majority of the moves i do TC, why do i get the feeling i am just falling for the tech trap of a troll? i really should know better than to fall for that, well have your laugh at me then, the serious NM players can continue the actual discussion
