Match-Up Discussion - Swarm Queen Kotal Kahn MU

[Firebomber]

This MU is really difficult to me, is there any gap to avoid Kotal´s pressure? you know that the dvorah´s armor is not too good, so it is very annoying to me deal with kotal´s pressure and pokes, do you have any tip to face this MU? is it difficult for you?

I have decent (not expert) knowledge of the MU but here is what I think

Kotal kahn may be a lower tier Character but the range of his normals are no joke and they will beat out your f112 string.

But because Dvorah has no good wake up you can kinda compare her to other high tier characters. Most of them don't have much of a good defense option. But at least Dvorah has fast pokes. So my strongest advice is DO NOT let Kotal kahn get momentum.

d4 often to keep him from using his advancing normals.

And yes their are gaps to Kotal kahns pressure their is a video by Tom Brady of how to avoid quite a bit of it but I don't have the video so you'll have to check it out yourself.

This should be a start.

Alot of his strings are genereally negative, so once you block something it's usually your turn (not 114 though)

Hard matchup is hard. Best way to do it is have good spacing and whiff punish. That's just my opinion of course.
