Dizzy vs Faust

Recommended Posts

What to do in this match-up? Faust doesn't have speed per se', but he's got great range on his normals, annoying item abilities and if we try to summon from across the screen, its open season ofr that spear command grab. Not to mention he's fairly powerful and can somewhat shut our IADs unless we have KD. Any tips on this match-up? Especially because I see this is listed as one of Dizzy's worst match-ups. :?:

i also got very limited Faust experience... it's a bad match up but not as worst as Eddie/Chip as both will zone like crazy. and the last match is like 1 year ago :vbang:, but here something that i remember, pls correct me if i'm wrong 6p his scalpel poke/spear command grab iirc it's reactionable don't do iad rush down, his crouching hit box is a bitch and his 2k will kill you, and if he's lucky, a hammer will destroy you on ch iirc don't meet him air to air, his j.d is lol, use tk bubble for zoning accordingly, many of his long reach attack was also his body hit box, u might get random ch from bubble pop don't poke his dust as it has full body invul during startup, if u want to hit him out of it go all the way with 2h for ch react when he throw his junk with air pike, and take caution of what he is throwing, switch side as soon as possible if u see a meteor comming and take caution, any random hit during meteor summon might lead to 50~80% of Dizzy life bar u can see his overhead FB chop and counter it with 2h your best anti air is Air Throw (as he jump fucking high), your 2s will clash with his j.s and your back dash will got eaten by Going My way/spinning attack patience is virtue on this match up and he'll got more chance to rush u down :gonk:

If he does going my way from the air because he expects you to backdash, that is a really stupid idea on his part. The risk is WAY to high for faust to do that. If dizzy blockss going my way, she gets a free combo, oki setup. You gotta force faust to play at your pace. Use LOTS of TK bubble, backdash j.s pop then land to try and summon a fish from long range while avoiding the scalpel pull. laser fish will hit faust out of it even if he catches out and begins the pull back. Since faust has so many options to push you away and keep you at that mid range, I try to use all my best throw mix-ups to constantly keep him on the ground and waking up into dizzy's more solid oki. Also the only time i really move forward and try to poke at faust is right after the laser goes off and I have a air pike primed. This pretty much stops him from jumping, and lets you get close to start a little bit of pressure. Really got to take what you can get in this match, and try not to force anything because Faust can REALLY fuck dizzy up, both with damage and with stun.
