Zeromus_X Report post Posted May 18, 2012 Less free than Makoto since Tsubaki has more neutral options once she gets stocks. If she gets you into the corner, she can stay on you for a long time but doesn't much reward for doing so outside of specific starters and her overhead/throw damage isn't that good. Be on the lookout for unblockable 22[D] attempts as they are the main source of her damage. There is a whole thread about them in the Tsubaki forum, but the basic ones are during variable points of her blockstrings, as resets during her bnb combos, or after a 6A otg at the end of her bnbs in the corner. You can DP or Gold Burst out of unblockable attempts, and late neutral tech to avoid attempts after 6A (otg) at the end of her combos. At round start, be aware of 22X series. On CH she can do a small combo and get you closer to the corner. Walk back or IAD back is usually a good option at round start. Habaya is good in neutral, and lasers will pretty much force her to move where you can react and move or set up accordingly. You can make her uncomfortable with 6C during her charge attempts since she's in CH state. No more safe 236X dashes so you can zone a lot more freely now, but watch out for 214B and 214D through your stuff. With that said it is likely that she'll be able to get quite a few stocks in this matchup if you try to play completely lame; so don't be afraid to be aggressive every now and then since her reversal options are poor. I feel pretty bad Gold Bursting her into more damage than she did to me for the whole round. =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
