Star-Demon Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Listen carefully and watch Carl. Once you read how they like to use nirvana - you will be psychic and they will be freaked. If you can listen you can make better choices when getting in. Beware off-screen Volante. Try not to let Carl Sandwich you in. Always remember where Nirvana is. Carl hates Reach-B. You might like staffless in this. Staff cover very strong in this match - Carl loses Nirvana's command on block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Knight Report post Posted October 4, 2011 turtle the fuck out of him time outs are likely unless you make a mistake and get unblockabled to death against weaker carls, you can make liberal use of 6c > 5d or 3c > 5d against the sister. they really like doing fork > airdash in and volante airdash in. preemptive itsuu is all right. carl jB is 5F, so once it's out, it just wins. stop airdash jB's by doing a rising jB of your own. doing 5B[m]> jB[m] or almost any staff normal (i prefer 2c cause it's fast and has good range) > rising jB will stop reckless approaches from carl putting the stick down is all right, but against a strong carl it isn't too good. . . . the sister has moves that super armor, so if you try 3c > 5d she'll just super armor it and then you're getting bodied os dp works very well against him, 421A+B+D to stop crossup j2C's. matchup is very momentum based, to say the least.

Star-Demon Report post Posted November 2, 2011 I'm starting to lose out to a Carl more recently - I am looking for ways to avoid damage from his jump ins, and it seems his pressure always goes longer than I try to block, and I end up getting continually jumped in on and sandwiched on escape. I really wish I could record our matches, since we play often - we think we are evenly skilled, but his combos are really solid and maybe he's just used to my really good reads for ada and neutral game, since I never get to set the pace of the match.. I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star-Demon Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Back again - Carl has definitely overtaken me at this point. I really need a way to shut down the jumpins and low-hits from hitting me without getting pressured so much. I wish I could show vids, but I don't have any. It's really frustrating because I'm winning less and less. I am SALTY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
