Who do you guys think are the hardest matchups for the Apprentice?
Right now I'm leaning towards Taki. I only had one short session Vs a very good Taki and it proved to be very difficult fending her off compared to when I use my other characters.
When you break her throws with A+B she can beat anything you do with her AA. So you're forced to GI or guard. Also, since Apprentice has such a crappy 2A it's difficult to interrupt her when she's up in your face doing all her moves. And since the Apprentice is best played as an interrupter it can be difficult to play him like that against Taki, since she's so fast.
I'm starting to think that vs. a good Taki it might be best to play with a very defensive interrupting style by getting away from her strings with 2_8_4_6A+K.
Hopefully I can get some more sessions in with good Taki players so that I can figure out what the best strategy to fight her would be.
