If your placements are in at least Silver 3 or 4 I’d say the grind is less of a nightmare. Gotta go on ridiculous streaks to rank up but thankfully ranking down isn’t too bad. Also I think up until masters once you hit a specific rank (not the levels but like gold silver plat etc) you won’t rank down which makes you feel a lot better about lose streaks

after playing her since release id say the best way to play her is to always put yourself in a good position so that you can whiff punish your opponent and maximize the most out of that. charging gladius is also great since it has armor and you get a hard knockdown if it hits.

most of her combos (especially with the help of drive rush) can drag opponents to the corner very quickly amd thats when shes the most dangerous lmao

you're also gonna want to charge her normals like standing heavy punch/kick, back heavy punch and forward heavy kick because they drain your opponents drive meter very fast or if it hits on punish counter you can do nasty damage with it.

its also worth mentioning to use her command grabs every now and then. i like to use it in the corner or after getting knockdown using drive rush and doing it there

How long do you guys stay in the lab b4 trying out online play. I'm playing as juri and I know a good 2500 damage combo

Yeah I’ve been starting to use her command grab in the corner. After a combo and just casually jump light kick and do the command grab that’s half they health gone.

Seems like people just try to bait out your dr in the corner so that’s a nasty play.

Lab a couple hours then casual matches until I feel comfortable. Nigga you platinum why you asking us

I haven’t really been in the lab that much. Only really spent 2 hours getting the feel , getting the bnbs down, the neutral game and the frame data for my fast moves and what’s plus on block.

Ain’t really landed against matchups yet I’m just learning that with playing online.

Although Marisa is easy to pick up . It would take me longer to learn say juri or dhalsim before I take them into rank because they are more trickier to get comfortable with

like 2-3 hrs learning the bnb combos and longer for stronger combos. playing online helps as well even if you're ass at first

also watch vids of good players playing ur characters and taking some cues from them

you shoulda just did it right away while everyone was ass at the game lol

you are not lying

just on one character lol idk the others

ON GOD AND DEM

So you can get downranked from Platinum

I'm gonna crawl back up to Plat then take a break from the game, it's VERY good but also extremely addictive, I've gotta do other stuff with my free time
