GGs Zissou. I don't know why we DCed there, but it's a good time to take a break. Super intense matches. God I hate Strider! Dante is definitely your weak link. I would love tips on my Doom.
GB, let me know if you want some matches. I need some relaxation after that set.
GGs- I needed a break too. I know Dante is my weak link, which is doubly unfortunate against your team because he's my best bet against your Dorm (matchup-wise), but he's still firmly assist tier. Some of the guys I play against regularly offline dabble in Dorm, but nobody plays him backed by missiles or drones, so what little previous match-up experience I had wasn't too relevant. Even with Strider in the back, half the time I'd come in and be stuck blocking forever before I ever got a shot to make a come back!
I don't know if I have much in the way of Doom tips. I would say go for more optimized confirms instead of just j.M into footdive, but online especially it's better safe than sorry. One I do a lot is a happy medium in terms of difficulty vs. damage is j.M, j.M, adf, j.M, j.M, land, st.M, launch. It scales more than doing a more optimized fwd.H footdive confirm, but it's super reliable at normal jump height and leads to a more damaging follow-up combo as opposed to j.M > S footdive. It's also nice that it works in happy b-day situations too. For post air throw follow-ups, try doing addf after the throw animation, land, and then depending on the height you performed the air throw at, you may be able to get in range with a single tri-dash, otherwise you should ground dash cancelled into tri-dash if you're too far away for the single tri-dash to bridge the gap.
Point Doom mirrors are really a battle of attrition, haha. I really felt like it set the pace for the rest of the match- if I got a hit early and took out your Doom, I was in pretty good shape, but if you built to three bars an DHC'd all the way to Dorm, I was done. You were smart and hardly ever got caught by vajra and got wise to my Doom/Dante THC stuff pretty quickly too. I feel like starting a Dante would be better- I just need to work on him in general, so maybe I should start him for a while just to build up match experience. Also, kudos for making Sentinel seem like a real character. Hopefully we'll have a chance to play again before I fly back.
