[08] Mercenary
Hello I've been browsing this site for quite a while, but I had a questions none of the threads really specify. As of 2 weeks ago I took on Pat as a main, and I've been having a lot of trouble with the following:
-Applying pressure to big sword guys (Astaroth, Seigfried, Nightmare)
-Fighting Mitsurugis (Mostly can't find a way to punish/pressure him)
-Spacing (When to run in, how to know when to back off, when to step)
-Getting Stepped (I seem to constantly have my opponent on my side while I'm whiffing a 66B or similar vertical move.)
-Mix Ups (I've been simply getting the opponent to the ground and switching between a slide kick, a 66A BE, or a 66B, and of course 66K)
If anybody could reply with an answer to any of my quesions ,I would appreciate it. I have trouble enjoying playing with people who know to step because I am whiffing. I also seem to drop many 3B and 33B combos. I end up doing 3B/33B.B.B.236B.
I find myself using 236B whenever there I want to punish because it is an easy way to down them, avoid throws, and start moving in. Is it bad that I'll throw out 236B like 5-7 times a round? What would be a better move to punish with? Whenever they block 236B it is a free punish.
