So today, I decided play a bit more ranked matches. There are a lot of players that are C B or A rank that are just as poorly skilled as those I've fought before, and using typical scrub tactics, I can easily defeat them.
On the other hand, I have encountered similar players that aren't very good, but show a good level of execution and knowledge of the move list (that's basically it, they know the moves), and they just run through the same similar spam. Problem with dealing with them, is that typical scrub-killing tactics I've used won't work with them, and Kokoro herself seems to lack a good mid crush. I can't use most Heichu mix-ups or other options because these players refuse to read the opponents moves and often just continue to ram headlong into things. Only, they're just a little smarter about it.
So I'm trying to find methods to dealing with their scrubby play, and without being overly complex about it. Since a lot of the players I deal with tend to pick characters that are generally faster than Kokoro, I need to find moves and ways where I can interrupt them and punish them accordingly, with relying on crushes. So, if anyone has any tips, I'd like to hear them.
Generally, I don't use 9PP strings outside of combos. And I don't use 1PP or 3PP strings much at all. I use 3PT, often times, the T fails as the opponent eats a counter hit (and is thus, stunned). 1P seems a bit slow, but I know it can force tech. I generally don't use it, because most of my combos knock the opponent a bit far. I don't go for long strings like PP2KK, 9PP2KK, 4PPP or 4PP6P as these aren't natural combos and are prone to being held out of. Even the Heichu cancels on these don't seem to work too well.
I've started using 6P+KP a bit more and even 6KP (which seems natural, but I don't think it is). They seem somewhat useful for advancing in on an opponent.
So any ideas?
