I gave up on C-Sion already. I'm just pissed because Sion was my "main alt?" in MBAC and her gameplay was really cool and I really liked it.. Well.. I'm playing F-Sion now as alt in CC, but I mained C-Kohaku already, which was my 2ยบ alt in MBAC..
I know about how to use her airset, but it's just useless since you need to be in the right spots and your opponent wont let you get to those spots. She needs too much spacing to press a button safely in air now. This gives too much space for the opponent to win neutral spacing... They'd just go in easely =/ Maybe it's not bad, but it's not Sion I know..
They could do that but I'm guessing they probably didn't because it'd look awkward to see the move visually end but have you in a state where you can't do anything.
You're right about that. I havent thought about this. But to me it's still awkward the way it is now =/
I remember reading somewhere Sion's and V.Sion's dashes were nerfed, but now I can't find it...
Is that the orange F-Sion?
Yes, and good news, he's still playing. Kirisugu just uploaded matches of him. He's using very well her range in the ground =o...
Also on ground sion makes zoners rage. cMech or fAkiha trying to throw shit at you? 214a. Holy shit in like 9 frames you just gave yourself massive initiative. Against bulldog types you'll have some trouble sure. But she makes up for that with arguably the best dp in the game and her 421 series phasing you through shit
Zoners never gave me much problems. The problems are against the skillful guys who will space normally with their air footsies, and I'm a bulldog (used to hunt them down with j.A =/), but their moves are going to counter mine allday now or they'll just go in taking the space I give away trying to position myself, so they win neutral game and begin the pressure. About DP.. I really don't like DP in MB (or in other games) there are so many DP proof measures to add in the okizemes/mixups that make them just bad, only useful as surprise factor imo... Also, is C-Sion 623A still a DP? F-Sion isn't =/. Because of that Chest uses 623B when he wants to actually DP. I'd preffer to block instead since blocking is OP, or try a forward jump. Her 421 in neutral are way too risky imo x.x.
I am also very sad at her air throw nerf, but her post air throw game is still good in the corner. They cant tech nuetral or back or you can react with j214c. and forward techs you can 2a. neutral? 214a or dp ender for combos.
Yeah, that's what I was doing in the time I played her, but wasnt feeling very good =/..
Dont take this as an angry rant. im a very sarcastic person.
Don't worry xD
Also complaining about having nero-like combos,when all she does in mbac is ground normals into launcher into standard jBCjBCadj.C combos,those are are much more exciting amirite).
She had so much freedom to custom combo before:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4902483I used to do her bounce combo allday with 5(c) 6(b) 421/623b (you had to adapt according to the height as it would change the side). There was also her loop too for massive damage: 5(c) 6(b) 421/623b 421c 214b (actually I think I was the only one who used to use this):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFBD6jG9Uw4 If at least there was the bounce/reload combo.. I wouldnt mind any damage nerf, really..
j.B is amazing. Like, I don't think you understand how amazing j.B is right now. j.B shuts down ANYTHING below Sion. It takes bullshit good moves (F-Kohaku 2B) to shut down Sion j.B. I know when I played recently I couldn't even hit 214B j.[C] and I was still doing well. j.B is an amazing air normal, assuming you can sort of anticipate air footsies (ie, is she lower than you or not? If she's above, hit j.C, if not, j.B, if she's on same level, consider j.A), so I feel more or less this is a misunderstanding of the character.
I had the impression F-Sion has a way better j.B then C-Sion even though the animation is the same, am I wrong? Maybe I just really had pretty bad luck with using C-Sion's j.B, because F-Sion j.B is godlike, I agree with that.
Imo, it'll be easier for him to improve if he listens to more experienced players rather then thinking "oh these moves are garbage, better not ever use them." If you never use Sion jB/jC it'll take a hell of a lot longer to learn her than it should.
It's cool man. It's not like I'm bad or I can't improve. It's just that they totally messed up my second character and I wont play her the way she is now because of it. The things I identified as the useful ones in MBAC and added to my gameplay are gone and I'm so pissed about it when they say j.A (the base of my gameplay) duration increased and that j.A epic whiff happens =/. Anyway I really appreciate that you intended to help me. o/
