SCV Ivy FAQ & General Discussion

Apperently if you have a viola that likes to open with 8 A+B you can punish her by opening with 214A.

Edit: BWHAHAHAHAHA! (Evil laughter)

You mean 6A+B?

Wow, add a counter hit and another brave edge into that wall combo and you have a 100% combo there.

To be fair, the 9B+K followup isn't guaranteed. Also, 214A would rarely hit on NH much less CH. And landing face towards the wall also adds some damage to that combo. However, you could've added a 1B BE somewhere in there. But my point is, it isn't something that needs patching, hahaha.

No Viola's 8 A+B as opening. It beats a lot of aggressive openings and hits back step. It's highly unsafe but the range makes up for it against some characters.
However 214A doesn't go forward so the first hit whiffs and the ball goes over Ivy for some reason making Viola just stand there taking it in the face.

Link - I just saw you kicking ass at Evo... You had like 6 iCS's on that Yoshi player... too bad he broke most of them :/

Thanks for the support. =) Should have used more A throws on him. There's no way he was reaction breaking those.

It's nice I finally win another match on stream, but I played poorly all tournament. Even in that Yoshi match. I didn't hit a single 22(B) JF combo. Evo is the worst time to have a bad day. =\

I guess the silver lining is that I still made it out of my pool. None of the other Ivy reps were as lucky.
 
So what exactly happened with Ivys at EVO?

I only saw two matches, one was Sora (who REALLY looks like Sora =P ) against a Leixia player and then Link vs a Voldo player. What happened later I have no idea.

Then I heard Kinetic lost to Keev twice and that Malek got eliminated by LostProvidence.
 
Me no ivy player=o but how do u guys feel where she stacks up with the other chars?=o I put ivy like maxi=o both are tourney viable but they do have a bit of bad matchups against the top chars in the game imo

Kinetic's match was REALLY close both times. Final round for each time.

I lost off-stream to SU (the guy was on effing point with his spacing) and Dreamkiller (I discovered I have NO idea how to fight against Natsu 22A. I got gimmicked :( ).

During GF, I was talking to Link and he was saying that Ivy might really be B-tier--she has too many matchup problems to become A tier. I kinda agree. =/

PS. Lol. <3 my keyblade necklace.
 
Yeah ... after playing quite a few people at Evo and talking with Malek, Singapore, and Japan, I can't really think of any match ups Ivy has a definite advantage in. There are even match ups, and I still believe she can beat any character in this game, but there are no characters Ivy can feel comfortable fighting.
 
I think Ivy has pretty good matchups against Cervy, Damp, Viola, and maybe Maxi. But maybe that's just what I'M comfortable against.

I don't like the Ivy/Cervy matchup. We have a good punish for his 3B, but his A~B (A slide B) is hard to punish, especially at tip range...
 
The only matchup I feel somewhat comfortable with is Leixia, because she's the only character whose damage output is lower than Ivy's, lol.

I'm with Evan on Cervy match-up. I don't think ivy has advantage here.
 
Can anyone think of some character specific things Ivy has? So far I have FC 1B launch range, ability to tech out of 3(K) > (B), 1B BE > 6KB hitting against BT characters, and the timing of CH 3B > 1B BE. What else can you think of?
 
FC 1(B)B 8A+BB doesn't work against half of the cast.
4A+B pushback is different against some characters
FC1(B) and 44BB into 6B8 connects on big characters

I didn't even know that first and last one worked on anyone O.o
I know 4A+B doesn't push Viola too far back, so it works really well on her.

Thanks, I'll be testing all of these and hopefully making a thread about it in the near future.
 
Sorry, the first one is FC 1(B)B, not single FC 1(B)! A typo.

I'm sure there are plenty of other things to mention.
