Match Footage - Swarm Queen D'Vorah: Tournament Footage

Sup people, we have a tournament series going on here in the UK, one of those was yesterday and I decided to go all D'Vorah throughout the tournament. Only managed one match on stream and it was against one of the stronger Scorpions.

If any of you guys could check it out and see stuff I could improve on or add to my game I'd appreciate it.

I would suggest working on and using b1 cancels more. That way your opponent will have to respect that and f22.

I couldn't see anything else though. Was a really good match.

Thanks, was dropping b1 wasp cancels earlier in the tournament so I didn't believe in myself as much. I did try it in the 2nd game but I think I dropped it. I might've done better if I knew about Flame Aura's properties (can't whiff punish it, and you can't hit him as it activates) and known that Hellfire can catch you running in. My execution should be tighter by next tournament.

Shwoop. D'vorah v. D'vorah Grand Finals, and lots of D'vorah matches around top 8. It was super hype to watch.
So I'm movin on up at my locals. Got 4th tonight, which is pretty good considering it was on xbox(no patch) and most people were punishing spray with the OS tech. My matches are at 2:29:00 and 2:43:00.

Just got back from Texas Showdown. Went 2-2. Here is my stream match and some other dvorah players matches. My WG cancels werent there this weekend so I opted to use venomous instead. There were some swarm queens but they were in the later pools that were not streamed.

Sup guys I know I dont post much at all but I got some footage at my locals. I'm posting because I need help and I am open to any and all criticism.
I finally decided to drop takeda and make D'vorah my main. If I could get feedback it would be appreciated! I do play very nutty because I play these guys alot and they know my habits lol. I have a hard time keeping pressure going because I only know a few things with her and Im lost on blowing up wake ups.


I play at 1:07:20(commentary is a bit crazy) and 1:29:50 (im new to venomous)


I play at 8:50. I have no answer for sub zero, kotal kahn or kano :\

Great playing :) You good Swarm and a pretty good Venomous. Got a few pointers on the two:

Swarm Queen: You got the frame trap WGC into 212 down pretty good and people are respecting it. Once they start respecting it go for the 50/50 mixup (F22 WGC/B1 WGC) Good use of Swarm on Knock down to get the plus frames, keep in mind they can just jump out of it and get free pressure if you become to predictable with it. I'd also advise using the F112 WGC into D4 WGC more often. Still a frame trap, safe on block, hella plus on hit and grants 50/50.

Venom: D'vorah's stagger strings are stupid. Not quite Jax stupid, but pretty good. 11 is neutral, 113 is neutral, F11 is neutral, 2 is +2 on block. Abuse her stagger strings! You went for the F112 Spray every time and that does good chip, but is negative and punishable by fast specials. Typically I go for F11, D4, (50/50 or F11/11/113/2 pressure). Also, on hit F22 EX Spray has much farther push back which often loses the pressure.

Against Sub Zero: D'vorah should beat GM Sub pretty handily. Reason being is every pressure string into Ice clone that he has we can punish with d3,d4, ovi. Not necessarily hit but he can block and we get rid of the clone. In the corner pinned with clone hit him with either d3 or d2 (for jump ins over poke), he loses his corner pressure very easily against us. Then we severely out damage him, but it's just up to block his 50/50 mixups, for which has a very good one, and playing a heavy footsi/ spacing game. Puddle/ Swarm punishes his naked clone.

Kano and Kotal I'm not as familiar with. Kotal we can punish his overhead sword at certain distances (9/10 times players typically go normal sword smash and then ex sword, which is quite punishable, so be aware of that). Other than that nice playing :) looking good.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Also I meant F22 or B1 WGC. Although if they are respecting the F22 WGC then I do B12 for shits and gigs.
 
Matches from last week. Missed this week. Also eliminated by PL. fought Adventure Ballz and some Johnny
