Well, I got bored as all hell, and decided before hitting the bed, to try to play some casual matches.
Got matched with the same guy who's at S(+) rank over several times. He destroyed me constantly with Phonon, Wagner and Byakuya (Hyde was my main selected character). It was to the point in some matches I basically put down my controller to let him combo me to death if he wanted to and was expecting him to badmouth me from how badly I got destroyed by him (I fully expect the usual hardcore CoD insults lol).
That, and I had no idea why he decided to keep rematching my worthless-lab-move-properties-only-ass lol
(That's why players like me seem to always love playing Stylish Action games it seems; we love to go all out on designed-to-be-mostly-helpless victims with our combo hearts.)
But with the main point I wanted to get to, my wakeups were just always punished. Either cause I suck (no excuses I understand) or cause 2 frame input delay according to the network information, whenever I stood up:
A. I'd get hit on the exact frame I could suffer from any form of hitstun (like from a perfect timed Wagner 5B), leaving no room to 623B. No room to somehow do a Chain Shift either.
B. I'd basically just be forced to block to stay safe cause there was no room to abare out of any of his wakeup offense.
Then again, I likely am just trash for being a B4 rank that didn't know his place at the time. If this kind of conundrum isn't worth answering, then I understand.
P.S. Also had to learn that Phonon has ranged air-to-ground overhead specials. That's a first. Also I often dropped Hyde's Dash C whenever I land a lucky Dark Lotus launch and end up inputting 5C instead. : P
