I stick to simple stuff like AAB, 1B series, B series, kicks. I only take risks on okizeme. I also try to turtle read and react a lot a lot, see what they like to do. My goal is usually to land blows to get them red in guard, to open up the rest of my game.
It's not overly complex, but it requires good yomi. I like using a mix of throws, lows, 44A+B and 4KB on wakeup as well.
If they start GI'ing it gets more complicated, but then I'll do things like not finish strings, throw 6B+K in, 44AB/66AB to mess up timing.
Other moves I use situationally, such as 8A+B, B+K. I don't use 2A+B much unlike some people, that's mostly an oki anti-roll move to get them to block 44AB. I'm not a top player, but I'd say I do decently (I've entered a few tournies with Mina and done decently)
As for Sisters, yeah it's a bad matchup, but not unwinnable. You just gotta space perfectly and play defensively. I use a lot of unfinished strings to make them reluctant to throw out that 236 crap.
to the people saying SC4 is balanced or something like that, its not even nearly, no one in his right mind would say rock is better than kilik for example or has more potential or is a better matchup against certain other characters, this fact alone nullify the argument of SC4 being nearly as balanced as VF5 or T5DR, but the way i see it thats the fun part of the game. (Mugen any1?)
example:
this is a quote from a producer of a previous installment (SC2) Hiroki Yotoriyama when asked about the most improved SC2 character:
"from the beginning of SC2's developement, i put my efforts into making Ivy more uniquely lethal.as a result, i think ivy stands out more.." end of quote.
so ivy improvement was based on the sick mind of an ecchi japanese midle aged man :P good thing he wasnt a woman or we wouldve seen Rock hax.
"ivy stands out more" does not equal "is better than everyone else", it just means that Ivy's moves are more unique than other fighters. Notice how he also says "uniquely lethal"...I think all we can pull from that quote is that Hiroki Yotoriyama thinks Ivy is more unique than the other fighters...a point that is, IMO, hard to argue against.
Rock is extremely underrated. IMO, Kilik is better than Rock, but I don't see how anyone can say that thinking Rock might be better is somehow a ridiculous assertion.
Rock used his power to kill a Rhino, and he lives in another continent. I'd say he knows how to use his power.
Edit: We're not saying Rock is better than Kilik when it comes to his moveset. We (At least, some of us) are saying the Rock is better than most people assume, and that Kilik is not as good as many people claim.
