I watched a Mech Hisui player in a video for Tougeki qualifiers and now I'm convinced that Mech-Hisui has a terrible match-up vs. Aoko.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4LvX0P2BN8To be fair, we know that JeffreyManson is arguably the best Aoko player in the world, but still! This poor Mech Hisui player was slaughtered. The only way he managed to get out of that corner pressure was with the shield bunker. And he only managed to get good damage on Aoko with crossbow, which got predictable. I feel like Mech Hisui has limited options vs. Aoko.
Of course, it may be that this Mech Hisui player was simply outplayed, and JeffreyManson would have beat him no matter who he used. I don't know the kanji for this Mech Hisui player, so I dunno if he's a known name or not. But from another other video of this Mech Hisui player fighting a Kouma... I would guess that he's not. Nothing in the other video really stood out.
Maybe I'm completely wrong. I mean, this is just one example where Mech Hisui gets seriously owned by Aoko. And I shouldn't be making judgments from just one video. But I dunno, she got beat so bad that it was discouraging. What could Mech-Hisui have done to not get killed?
I asked Sp00ky general Mech-Hisui vs. Aoko questions at WT4, but I already forgot what he said. I asked him so many random questions that I couldn't process all of the answers to them. But yeah. I'm also curious for Zar and XAQ's opinions on this!
