Unlike other characters which have a set pressure string path, Relius can simply reset his by sending his wife/doll, Ignis, to attack. As any Lambda player will tell you, "Lambda is not good at dealing with pressure." This match up may eventually end up being even somewhere down the line, but even so, this is going to be a problematic match to fight. Breakdown Ignis It is really hard drawing comparisons with Relius to his son, Carl: a somewhat similar type of character AND bad match up for us. Ignis has far superior attack speed and options to Ada while not even suffering from any of her weaknesses. She does not require a heavy amount of position setup because she teleports to Relius after she is done. Attacking Ignis is worthless: the damage she suffers is minimal (like 1 damage per hit); she has super armor on everything; she can even regenerate her health back considerably faster than Ada; and it's not like Relius can't fight without Ignis... It isn't even worth trying. Focus on Relius. She has a low attack that hits multiple times and an overhead where she dives down. Relius can go for a hard to see mixup. She has an attack like our 4D where she attacks from behind with a vicegrip. She has a super that is the exact same as Carl's. Note that Relius' mixup with it is even more scary because of the range of his normals, his dash, and his dodge move. Sidestep The biggest annoying move Relius has on him is a dodge-in-place move (will get name later). This move's startup is instantaneous, giving him seemingly full-body invincibility whenever he feels like it. Lambda has considerably more recovery time on whiffed attacks (especially D moves) than other characters. One whiffed move from Lambda can mean eating a full combo. If Relius gets too spam happy, be sure to punish him on its recovery. I'm not sure if CH will be easy or possible to get on him, but take what you can get. With this dodge move, Relius can use Ignis' attack-from-behind move to score a CH on Lambda, scoring a full combo. Watch out for this. The dodge can feint out Counter Assaults. It's already hard enough knowing when to CA against A Character and His X, dodging in place between his attacks makes that window of opportunity even smaller to get him off you. You have to be really paying attention. On wake up, Relius can dodge our 236D and even all hits of it if positioned normally... Positioning 236D a little further away from Relius probably works better against him since he will dodge the first few hits and recover on top of the last hits of the attack. Also, if you're pressing him, 236X may get dodged by him completely. I don't recall any of the 236X series going past Relius (since A and B track his X position). However, 236C positioned correctly may hit him during recovery... or whiff miserably. Feel it out. Obviously, this move will stop a lot of autopiloting pressure from us. Just remember, he has to take a guess when to use the dodge, make sure he guesses wrong or doubt the viability of it. Conclusion Don't fuck with Relius.

toanenadiz Report post Posted October 27, 2011 There are. I remember an early vid where Relius used his dodge move to avoid 236D oki. I'll try to find and post it once I get home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilseph Report post Posted October 27, 2011 This MU seems pretty even IMO. He has all the tools to get in and some of them are not half bad. But at the same time it doesn't look like it'll be brain dead easy for him to approach us. *cough* Taokaka, Hazama *cough* /Mad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenja0 Report post Posted October 28, 2011 There are. I remember an early vid where Relius used his dodge move to avoid 236D oki. I'll try to find and post it once I get home. Apparently, it can completely stop 236D. All Relius players I've seen have used that to stop that pressure. Also, the Ignis attack from behind gives Lambda even more problems when whiffing D moves or charging 214D. He doesn't have the pressure of Carl, but he definitely has an easier time setting good pressure up. And considering his range, I can see this easily turning into a bad match up.

M19Kamikaze Report post Posted November 1, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxFHv-_MF-M#t=9s 0:22 Okay so 236B causes you to shoot right by him when he uses that parry. 1:35 for 236D parry 2:05 Actually it looks like any move close enough puts you behind him. Even whiffed D swords Same video, does 6C when opponent is in the air push them back farther or did the Lambda player 236C late? I get the feeling that Relius can play like Lambda (attacking from behind) and do stupid crap like Carl. Here's a question. Anyone know about Ignis' proprties? It doesn't look like you can damage Ignis like you can Ada. Ignis super is a hit, not a grab. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyYLnbkcAq8#t=10m21s 13:00 I think she has a counter move or something because that hit came out immediately have Lambda's counter assault. Anyway, that's all I got from those videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, that's all I got from those videos. You need to do 2DD>2147D now is all i think And that "counter" attack is like Carl's 4D. It has a guard point.
