Resolve

Today is the day

Going for sweep here seems strong not only because of its damage potential, but also because the aegis hits Makoto very slowly if she is holding down-back.

You can do an easier combo if you intentionally hit the first tackle low to the ground

Forward throw x st MP xx sphere xx LP aegis consistently gives the correct spacing for this neutral throw trap

I normally use D'Addario XS 11s tuned up to F# standard; the tension feels just right. Today, I'm going to try these Thomastik-Infeld 13s in E standard and hope the tension is roughly the same. This will also be my first time trying out flatwounds. Can't wait!

You COULD attempt to parry then teleport, but you would have to parry 4 times minimum because the parry freeze isn't over by the time the next attack connects. Not to mention the 3rd parry would essentially be a guess. (1 sphere) (2 mirror) (3 high/low) (4 mirror)

An oldie but a goodie

As far as I know, Akuma cannot teleport out of this setup.

Don't have to spend the meter if you land the forward throw
