Pyrrha Omega General Discussion

SSHHHHHHHHH DON'T INFORM THE COMPETITION

Oh, come now. There's nothing wrong with sharing a bit of information between enemies with a long-running, deep seated hatred of one another. Or at least it's like that on one end of the spectrum. Besides, it gives them another reason to evolve their meta-game a bit, and I'm all for that.

Speaking of sharing information, those of you that enjoy dabbling with Elysium from time to time can find the frame data of her Pyrrha Ω specific moves on the wiki under Sophitia, or just click here. Enjoy.

I am so disappointed heaton. All things went downhill with you as you switched to raph :P

Guys, how do you feel about the vs. Alpha matchup? It feels to me like Alpha dominates the pace of the match and I personally find myself being forced to play the Alpha player's game. Can Omega play aggressively in this MU, or should she adopt a more defensive approach?

I usually go for NS B:4 DNS B:4 after the initial wallsplat, though sometimes I may end with CE or 2B BE...just because lol. If you manage to get NS B:4 NS B:4 DNS B:4 and get the JF versions for all three stabs, the damage is just obscene.

faced against syn's a-Pat last night... wasn't helping that i was having a bad run that particular night tbh... but i can confirm 33B is VERY hard to counter for Pyrrha Ω! It steps, TC AND freakin TRACKS! Whhay too much positives for a safe move imho.... =_= you're so right in that I can't even space it properly anymore either... >_< Can't DNS B since it steps it, can't really NS/DNS A since it TCs... >_< jeeez!

I tried a 'close' game against him but it was still a losing battle... =_=

Any other ideas of other possible counter strategies?

@Partisan

Thanks for the advice... I'll take heed and see what I can do on my next face-off with the character... me not playing especially well on the particular night probably contributed to getting beat-up... =_=

The JG bit might be problematic for me... since I've been somewhat trying to avoid it altogether and let the rest of my game compensate for the lack of it on my array of skills... like you said though, it is important... especially in the matchup. So it looks like more time spent on training mode to get it down... =/ *sigh*

I still don't get how to do option select in that situations
Can you give me some examples ?

Thanks

APat players always go for 2363B, so it's hella a very good move. I'm not sure if it tracks, but I know you can SS to his left. But this is on close range test only.

Always kill step with 6A or 22K. They are good step killers, only thing to watch out is the very crappy range of both of them.

...pictures (or a movie... >_<) is worth a thousand words I guess.. >_< lol! thnx to both of you's

Things I noticed...

• Pyrrha Ω footsie risk/reward is comparable to aPat's if not better...
• JG into AA seem to be the only way to force a hit VS a defensive aPat... =_=
• JGing aPat's 2143B.B/BE is a very effective way to curtail its pressure... >_<
• EVERY poke counts vs a good aPat... =_=
• Pyrrha Ω A+B aGI PALES in comparison to SC4 Sophie's A+B... I'm finding I just can't get any success out of it on this version... unless its VS a really predictable player that spams non-stabbing mids... =_=
• A good aPat REALLY forces Pyrrha Ω into a more defensive playstyle... so its not surprising I fell over my previous matches due to my usually more 'f**k it lets attack!' orientated style... LOL!

I forgot about AA.. shit. Thanks!

Some tips I can give VS Patroklos:
2A beats the crap of all APat's good attacks etc 1B,B 2363B JF T etc
Defensive is not your ultimate choice here, you should get more risk reward games against APat.
APat's 66A is a good attacks against Pyrrha O., so watch for that move
Frame Advantage moves are good too, but not non-tracking ones especially 4B. You shouldn't use this often.
3A is a good move to kill step and other APat's good tools too, 'cause it's a mid

Your JG ability is Impressive. I wonder how did you pracice JG, Partisan ? I can do JG well in training but I cannot do it as well as training mode if I am in real match, sometimes I just freeze there and hold G. Is there any tip for me ?

Take the risk and try to JG even if it can fail ! The first step is always difficult. =)
