Honestly I think Highspeed was playing too scared as well, matchup inexperience maybe? Probably too scared of the dmg she can do to him, and the way her daggers + 2b can shut down two important approaches for wara.
Well I sort of understand the match up inexperience thing but...the set was over an hr. long (and probably in a stress-free environment i.e. casuals). Don't see why he wouldn't bother to experiment w/ some techniques or shenanigans.
But the thing is Ragu wasn't spacing with 2b and 236b (and more importantly confirming with iad j.c!), but instead was doing dash 5a and spamming daggers.
Yeah, ragu's neutral is more solid now but man, was he playing super conservative. 236B was used sparingly and of course, I still saw no 2B's in neutral. I *think* the dash 5A's were to cover random dash ins and IAD's. not sure how effective this is though
He also didn't take advantage of 5[c] being +1, the threat of 236b to catch jump outs, 4{b} 236a (was just doing 4{b} then random shit? wtf) and the fuzzy.
Yo, realtalk, Highspeed wasn't trying to see the 4B mixups. He blocked correctly EVERYTIME (both the 4{b}>236A and BE4B variations). Ragu could have taken advantage of fuzzy more though. I mean she has the meterless JC>double jump>airdash>JA fuzzy that works on wara (and nero).
what im getting at is that highspeed shouldn't have been that scared of ragu fcl, he wasn't doing the REALLY scary stuff imo in that matchup. could have just done whatever
anyways this is all imo, maybe they were just trolling us!?
Yeah, I wish I knew enough JP to actually ask them both wtf they were looking for in this match set because I was confused for the most part. They weren't playing bad per se but at the same time I feel the match wasn't being played out too it's fullest from both sides.
Why does highspeed use tornadoes to much?
I don't think tornadoes are too bad if you play smart w/ them. They're safe when blocked and it's hella easy to confirm dash/SJ B into combo on hit.
Shouldn't he be spamming roku summon.
Nope. Literally the one time he tried to use Nanaya, he was stabbed full screen by 623C. His summons in neutral aren't even in the slightest hard to punish.
I feel like both c-wara and f-ciel have bad wakeup options if you can just bait ciel's shield... and well Wara lol
So they just scared to get knocked down.
Here's the thing: ciel's only wake up option (22C) doesn't lose to meaty 2A. Wara on the other hand...both 623C and 236C are punishable on reaction if a meaty 2A is on him (shield cancel out or reversal)
