Hi all, long time lurker (since SC2/3.. ^_^)... occasional poster.. ^_^
I'm creating this thread to cater for sophie mainers like me who's 'forced' to play online due to the none-existent SC scenes in our areas... =(
I am however fortunate enough to have built up a good population of SC4 players on my Xbox Live friends list whos close enough to have a consistent 5 bar connection... & with UK being close enough to France/Germany/Netherlands, I get to play some great online players from their strong SC scene too..
Unfortunately, with online being 'online' regardless if u have a 4/5bar lag.. I feel that Sophie looses a lot of her adv. on her frames... so my CH 'fishing' poke game got nerfed... and my favourite punisher AS/TAS B:4 has lost a lot of its edge in regards to punishing moves.
With that being said.. here are a bunch of Characters I normally run into trouble with:
CERVANTES
Usually, I'm normally alright against him... I go a bit overboard with A+B aGI & there's nothing more satisfying than countering his iGDR/4B+K/4A+B with it! However, when they switch up their strat & starts a CH fight against me.. I'm normally in the losing end... =/ ...AS/TAS B:4 doesnt seem to be fast enough online against this... I have been trying other fast pokes ie 3K,BB,AA, all other TC moves.. seems to work sometimes.. until i guess wrong & I get CMD thrown.. >_< lol!
IVY
Similar problem as I have with Cervy... i get stunned, stunned again, launched, juggled.. then rung out... =( ...& if I didnt fly off the edge of the map... I get hit again with a mix-up.. then usually either stunned again then CMD thrown for 1/2 life.. I usually die then... =( Usual TC pokes sometimes works, until I get push blocked too far for any of them to hit.. so I couldnt maintain the pressure/frame adv.. =/
YOSHIMITSU
Normally, the yoshis I face online are pretty average.. thus the number of my wins against them are pretty normal. However, there are a couple of Yoshis (..mostly french, go figure.. >_<) that are extremely good with their executions. In which case, players such as those will usually go into their iMCF series of mixups, & there doesn't seem to be a single move in online Sophie's arsenal to break the adv... =( ...so 8/10 i would end up getting CH to death by that type of yoshi player if he isnt too busy messing around with his char's other crazy moves... =_=
The rest of the cast I am usually able to deal with in some way... its really just those three characters online-wise that I generally end up getting a hard time.
Am I just being silly, or is anyone facing the same problems?
