Where's your god now???
Watching you whiff full speed aerial flips and get stabbed for it. You know you fucked up when Siegfried can stab you. But seriously, there are some situations where the only thing she can do is CE, and that allows Siegfried a certain degree of freedom in throwing things out to pressure her guard gauge.
If you block nearly any of his mixups (or a lot of his regular moves, look at his frame data), you get a free 236B:4 in punishment.
This is correct on paper, but spacing plays a huge part in what you can punish. CE is the only thing Pyrrha has that can punish absolutely everything at all ranges.
You'll want to play around a bit with him yourself to figure out what moves transition into what stances.
I say this to everyone who legitimately wants to learn good anti-Siegfried. Learn what stance is which, and what each option from stance does. And don't assume that just because you've run through it and can remember that SCH means Chief Hold that you know how to anti his stances perfectly. Things like spacing and roulette can screw with your counterattacks in ways that you might not even see coming depending on how much or how little time you spent in the lab.
If you block his 3{B}, do a 22K immediately, it will dodge and punish all of chief hold (If you just guard it, go straight for a 236B).
This is wrong. If you do 66K, Siegfried can do a few things.
He can SCH G, and block 22K in time.
He can do SCH 6 ~ SCH k(BE), launch you, combo you into a wall or the abyss, etc;
He can do SCH B+K ~ SCH B, launch you, combo you for a shitload of life, into a wall, or the abyss, etc;
He can do SCH 4B+K if spaced PERFECTLY, and then do SSH BBB for 80 or so damage.
The only thing that kills SCH completely is Cervantes aB at close range, or the multitude of CEs that beat out SCH K. 22K is a good move, and great if you think he'll just do the normal mix-up, but guessing wrong can be extremely costly. It's not a kill-all option to the stance - don't make the mistake of thinking it is.
He can't punish you hard either until you start reaching like -18 or something (sure you can be kicked and such, but, so what?).
66k(BE) is i15 and can hurt very, very badly depending again on walls, clean hits, and meter. Not to mention that Siegfried at plus frames is never a good thing for you.
Just be patient, keep your distance yourself. He'll have to approach you, and when he does, you're faster than him. And if you can bait out a whiff from him, then you can run up and get right into his face where he doesn't want you.
This advice doesn't make much sense to me. Siegfried plays his worst when Pyrrha is right up in his face, where his spacing dependent frames mean nothing, and his arsenal slow, powerful moves get him killed. He moves just as fast as any other character, and he can keep you at bay very easily with moves like agA and B6. Stepping back and mainting space between him is essentially putting the ball in his court. And of course, baiting any character to whiff will let you do anything you want - it's not unique to Siegfried, but Siegfried's numerous issues with whiffing have made a lot of Siegfried players very cautious about when and where they use certain moves.
Vs Sieg:
Start the round off running at him (prolly don't 66A, just run up and block). If he holds block 6BK or 1K; then 2A observe and begin aggro of choice.
3B stance KK, duck the second K and stab him.
3B anything else, stab him.
Something to realize about SCH is that you have to ready what he's going to do - if you guess wrong, you're eating heavy damage and are in a horrible position. SCH is not really something he can react to. Also, SCH B is + on block, so stop doing stupid stuff after blocking it.
As I've said earlier, you absolutely can't at a certain range.
22B stab him, 22B stance kk, duck second K, stab him.
As I've said, not stabbable from a certain range, and you make a huge gamble if you try to interrupt it.
No Siegfried worth his zweihander will throw this out on block, but make sure you know what it looks like so you don't get hit by "that flashy slow ass high."
His back to rings edge, break B, stay standing. BB's will ruin him here.
I have never been ruined by BB when my back was to the edge. If anything, you're asking to be stepped and 1B'd into the abyss.
And for those of you wondering where I get off telling you that your character doesn't beat mine 9:1, a little backstory: the only people I have played consistently since launch are Partisan, Ramon, and Xeph. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, Partisan and Ramon combine to play every fucking Greek in the most obnoxious way possible, and when Xeph doesn't play Astaroth or Natsu, he's trolling me with a Greek. All of my playtime since launch has been against nothing but fucking Greeks. So I'm pretty sure I know the match-up fairly well. I've got some videos up in the Siegfried SA, so if you'd like to see some of how the match-up is played, go check there. I'll have some more recent ones up soon.
I do invite anyone who finds my views to be unorthodox or "wrong" to play me on PSN. Just drop me an invite some time and I'll be sure to get some games in with you.
