Another Matchup Chart Attempt
Yeah Asta Vs X is 7:3 in asta's favour.
Well my list doesnt seem very pessimistic to me. I still think she is a competitive character.
Swordlord: : X vs sieg is REALLY hard.
Sieg does soooo much damage, and X cant punish him that hard.
SRSH mixup cant be punished hard enough to make sieg consider not applying it..
SRSH K up close, can make FC3B whiff, and good siegs can hitcheck fast enough to spin if the low is blocked to avoid the FC3B...
SRSH B only gives X a free throw attempt or 6B+K, to do the most damage... And thats really not in her favour.
Sieg dominates the distance game Vs Xianghua, with WSA and B6 and aGA.
Sieg 22_88B setups are hell agaisnt X, especially since sieg has a powerful SSH A+B which beats almost everything she has after 22_88B into SSH has been blocked.... She has to commit to jumping forward after its bblocked, or aim to step the 22_88B which is hard since it can to cover one side. And she cannot keep blocking. Once X gets her soul gauge red, those 3Bs are going to keep coming.
WSB is very good against X. SCH [A] clashes with AA when WSB is blocked.
So yeah i see that Sieg dominates X in the distance game and damage. And X can't really punish Sieg hard enough.
regarding sophie's mixup.
Sophie mixup is DAS B and throw.... hell you can DASB and 1K at range.
Xianghua's is FC3B/ step B and throw.
but sophie can choose to play safer and play with BB 1K.... and good sophies will mixup sidethrow and DASB.... and since Sophie dominates distance better, its more likely for her to land the mixup IMO.
shadowG: I am having great difficulty in seeing how X dominates tira/maxi/raph/talim, when knowledge about these characters at high level is really quite lacking. perhaps you could reason it out and convince us otherwise. And yeah, X is underrated.
Egg: Cervantes vs X is ARGUABLY even. but im still putting it in X's favour because X can contain cervy well... with box stepping at advantage, to bait for free step Bs to his weak side, and 66K.... and teleport to bait active defense is not so good because she has 44B... X's movement at step B range shuts down many of his evasive options when X is at advantage. The only wildcard there is iTP...
