If you have the time @Fem!Shep did a session where El Chakotay kind of talks through the MU. It’s a pretty long watch, but he’s a Lily expert.

@@ZachHenke Oh damn I'll check that out. Good lookin out thanks!

I was about to shill myself but now I don’t have to, thanks Zach

There is already a lily matchup guide 🤙

Go watch 801Strider. His Marisa is insane.

I’m not sure how I feel about that description.

@@ZachHenke i can't tell you how to feel but joy is what I feel when i successfully use one of your discoveries. Keep it up!

This man oils his gladius much respecc

That’s awesome. More on the way all the time.

I’m not opposed to it, but I do think that if you have the time this series of videos does a very good job of walking through matchups. kzfaq.info/sun/PLZnpJOt3aRfABjNfF7X2Rwu9SIITVUZCs&si=eXci9hIAi0MNpC2i I’m fairly certain it’s her intent to get through the cast.

Dear lord…YES

Will do!

I feel pretty good that this one will stand the test of time. This feels like something that won’t get patched unless they reduce Gladius pushback on block, but I don’t really know why they would do that.

Thank you!

Definitely a possibility. There’s a little at the start of my Guile matchup video.

Thank you.

@@ZachHenke that mp tc combo setup is awesome

There’s tons of applications like that, too.

Congrats! I finally found the time to grind ranked instead of just content creation and hit 1600 myself. Probably taking some time away from ranked for Elden Ring DLC (I’ll still upload videos). We use LP Gladius because it doesn’t have the same amount of forward movement, and therefore it creates more space. If you use MP or HP you’re always in range of their buttons.

@@ZachHenke lol I think you're gonna make me hit 1800 with this.

@@LucianRudeboy Hopefully!

Yeah, if people don’t know when things are negative or have an idea of which buttons they want to press to challenge some of this stuff won’t work. That being said, at your level if you learn strong oki and develop a good sense of when the opponent wants to break out with a DP, you’ll rank up in no time.

I’m actually really proud of this one. Concise and impactful.

@@ZachHenke I just have to work out applications without my tragically missing 5HK

@@femshepFGC 5HP should do okay at it. Obviously a lot more susceptible to walk back. If they keep walking out of it I don’t think charged sweep is awful.

That’s a weakness of the character. The best medicine is to try to stay out of range, and if you know it’s coming you can try jump back LP. There are a few high level Marisa players who anti air very well. I’ve seen replays of Jimmy_DR where he doesn’t block or get hit by a single jump in.

You can definitely react to a whiff, but you’re going to have to make predictions some of the time for sure if you want to punish their option.

I’m not quite sure what you mean. Can you elaborate a little?

@@ZachHenke so I mean a video detailing all her mixup options the mixup option I normally use which is the medium punch mixup(sometimes throwing in a Superman punch or drive rush into a grab) but the problem is it at the rank I’m at it either doesn’t work(like when someone plays defensive and just walks backwards after the medium punch) and I have to give up my turn or come up with stuff on the fly I’d like to know any possible sets ups or mixups with her

@@OtakuB.Jordan I mean, I have several videos going over her oki and a video covering which frame traps you can use if you cancel from different buttons.

I do have an older video covering some of the basics of that matchup. Not a ton has changed except we can sort of trade with fireball with our 5HK now.

@@ZachHenke even when Jury does the cmk rush is crazy cuttting any movement that I try to do. It is a peanut in the buck.

@@marstudios7879 yeah, it’s difficult to deal with. The best thing is to try to play around the range and use LP Superman and 5HK if they get predictable with it.

Unfortunately I’m not a modern player, and it’s very hard to get my hands to work that way. For this video in particular you can use heavy punch instead of heavy kick. The only thing is you have to delay it a bit because it won’t go over lows like heavy kick will. Otherwise, if you aren’t following @Fem!Shep you should. She’s a master level modern Marisa that has put out some good content.

@@ZachHenke thanks so much for taking the time to reply and giving me some pointers & new person to follow! Your content is brilliant and i’ll continue to check it out for every reason. :)

I definitely need to lab some stuff myself. He’s at least 40% of my ranked matches it feels like. This video does a good job of breaking things down: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNx4i5uLs8-odXU.htmlsi=ojwbK_F2lIL35zhn

I’ll work on it.

Woah! 😂 If you got better ideas that's should absolutely come first, I was doing a lil trolling I feel Jamison is the total opposite​@@ZachHenke

I think she’s stronger absolutely but worse relatively.

@@ZachHenke my perspective is it's not the nerfs but rather the system mechanic changes. Her opponents having more drive gauge and the ability to reversal her and be safe from anything but a light combined with parry as an anti air being worse all hurt a lot. Anyway thanks for your take. Now how am I supposed to beat problem X? He just cooked me like I'm dinner.

That’s a solid maybe. Two things working against it: 1. I have the hardest time with charge characters. 2. Elden Ring DLC is going to have a bunch of my attention. That being said I’ll definitely lab him and if I find interesting stuff I’ll definitely make videos.

A solid maybe 🤔
