The naive mind says everything she has is either slow or duckable.

The cartwheel is 23 frames and therefore has a slow start-up. An attempt to cancel a blocked poke into a cartwheel will fail just as stance mix-ups will - provided they know the timing.What if a sonya player does d4>ms f1 , then d1~cartwheel ?
perfect, just checking but yea i thought i should be able to stop that.The cartwheel is 23 frames and therefore has a slow start-up. An attempt to cancel a blocked poke into a cartwheel will fail just as stance mix-ups will - provided they know the timing.
Yes, but as per what I said, EX Cartwheel shouldn't be mindlessly abused. If the Sonya player manages their meter conservatively, she will be a very dangerous character to play because she'll have a great sense of control over possibilities. It's why I love playing as her, she has so many options!perfect, just checking but yea i thought i should be able to stop that.
unless they do d1~ex cartwheel and my counter has no armor either =[
Sonya is one of the most miss understood characters in this game.This is one of the most common misconceptions I see about the character. Sonya is not a pressure character...the core element to her game is mix-ups.
A lot of posts here point out d4 - Military Stance, which you can follow with f1 for +1 advantage. But ..............................................................
This is only a snippet of a Sonya guide I have in mind that I'd like to release some time in the future, so until then, I hope this helps out.
Sonya is slow? That's news to me. I always thought she was somewhat fast, maybe not as fast as Cage or Liu, but still fast.The naive mind says everything she has is either slow or duckable.
I'm not sure if this helps but the majority of Sonya players will cancel the f1 directly into kartwheel. On hit, the Kartwheel will whiff but has the opportunity to stuff Wakeups due to Sonya being behind you. On block, it's a safe chip and massive meter build for Sonya.What if a sonya player does d4>ms f1 , then d1~cartwheel ?
So basically, when Sonya is at the vertical point of the Kartwheel, EX or not, she's as wide open as Jenna Jameson at work.
