This is my 1st time log-in to 8wr since SC5 came out, I've not read all that's been going on since that & I kinda dont want to either. I just want to say: Siegfried is just too good now, you just have to learn him again, plus learn & apply new game basics like BE, GI & JG, CE whiff punish etc..
In general the game gives every character one or more than one way to keep momentum for an entire round.
In general all caracters seems to have big Off-axis problems, attacks would just miss (as in going through) vs neutral or whiffing rivals. This is not limited to Sig.
3K is great. kA is great. 66A mixed with B>4 is beasty. 66A mixed with 88_22A is good. A] SSH'A, kA2A, kA] SCH, A] SSH'B are massive momentum when mixed. SBH'A is great & safe at Tip.
B4 timings are even better than in SC4 or even SC2. The later B4 is inputted, the faster it will attack, & I mean fast, it would come out faster than 66A (& probably even faster than 22B)
b6 gives =Adv on hit.
Yesterday, I played without sword with Sig, just 4B, 66K, 3K, K, 1K, 6K, 4K, & when Id step back once & 3B my rival, Sig said: "My apologies". & I was like: "ooooo" so that's how it is now.. too good good you dont need sword?
gtg for now..
