What a day. What a lovely day.
You'd think it's just karma from me using Mileena, but I cannot get a grasp on how to approach Sonya, and lately I feel completely helpless against her.
I'm scared to jump in because of her standing 1 and armor, I'm scared to poke out of pressure because of her dive kick and armor, and I'm scared to get close because of the range on her D+4 and what she is granted if it even connects on block... and armor.
So, I find myself walking aimlessly back and forth right outside of D+4 range, where even if she whiffs it I'm too far away to do anything, then she'll starting zoning with her safe, little onion rings which recover before I can even get in on her to do anything about it.
I main Mileena, Kitana, and Sindel so I know getting lifelead is important, but I feel like this matchup is just one giant guessing game of reads for my characters where if I guess wrong I'm eating at least 40% into standing reset. I'm not trying to start a matchup discussion, I'd just like some tips from the Sonya mains on how to approach her, because yeah, at this point I feel like I can't do anything right against her.
