Awkward...

Damn, I was going to make something like this today!

His parry was nerfed which kinda sucks. I find that you cant ice parry some wake up moves that you could normally parry if the opponent was on their feet.

That said, CSZ is quite effective against the likes of Cage and Kung Lau because his ice parry pretty much beats any and all their upclose specials.

Guys if you're having trouble fighting cartwheel happy Sonyas, ice parry it. You can even ice parry her EX cartwheel on wake up and we all know how most Sonyas love doing that crap on wake up. Once you've conditioned them enough, you can pressure her a bit more. Her leg grab, strangely, beats his ice parry.

Kano's sweep doesn't hit CSZ out of parry, if I remember correctly. Which is odd...

 

[Flagg]

Kanos only option is really his forward 3 which can lead to a launcher, but of course you can be checked by wake up slide.

I find the things that CSZ can and can't parry quite odd. How can he parry normal throws and command grabs but not parry Sonyas leg grab. I think her leg grab beats Lui Kangs parry also. You would think he could parry Sektors tele-uppercut, but nope...in that match up, using parry is likely to get you blown up hard.

I don't think they nerfed the parry, it's the wake-ups that got buffed and some moves got armor last patch (which was September). So doing an Ice Parry as an anti-wake up is a real bad idea especially Kung Lao, Cage or just about anyone else.

 

[Altaire]

No offense, but you really need to just use B, F, D and U inputs instead of Away+ or Forward+. This is good information, but it's a tad difficult to read. It's a lot easier to just say B3 1 2, F2 2 1, U3 4, etc.

Edited first post.

Raiden's vicinity blast beats parry as well. For example, if Raiden goes into a 334 or B312 string and predicts the CSZ player will attempt to parry interrupt at an interruptible point, a vicinity blast will beat the parry and lead to a free jip.

Fixed.
