Footsies, execution, and punish are my biggest issues aside from the obvious.. Which would be match up knowledge. I don't know wtf to do from jump distance at the moment.
I have the most trouble with casuals however. Sounds crazy, but hear me out.
-down 2 is fucking 14% GOD DAMN 14 fucking percent!
-pokes. Poke poke poke poke uppercut poke poke uppercut.
-Xrays are tough to deal with. A lot of these players dont have any concept of meter management, so they dont even notice when its full. I'll be trying to bait out xray and just when I decide they won't use it, they are like "oh shit, I've got an xray" so while im pressuring they are jamming the fuck out of their buttons.
-Casuals have absolutely ZERO respect for anything you do.. Because they dont know or care what you character is capable of.. With this lag all they need is d2 and xray xray xray!!!!!
-In summary, casuals are just so random. They could give two fucks if something is safe or not and can get away with a lot during a laggy set.
All of this crying, and yet I still dont lose to this type of player often.. Doesn't mean some of the matches aren't close as hell though. I get salty as my friends. Could you tell??
