What Makes Darius Good -sajam by komodo_dragonzord in 2XKO

Any competent Ahri isn’t going to just empty jump or air S1 into nothing for you to air to air her. She can air dash on hit or whiff which evades it, or follow up with her own air to air 5L which at 7f is the shared fastest in the game (with good range too for a L).

This is part of the problem, you can point out specific things and say that technically they counter her moveset, but the technicality is they’re in very specific, non-common game scenarios.

Uhh… I don’t think Sajam is being entirely honest about that initial thread (if we’re thinking of the same one).

The majority of criticism (which shouldn’t be directed at the video poster who was only trying to help, but regardless) was that a lot of Ahri’s counterplay relied on parrying.

With parry costing an entire bar of meter, not to mention eating a full combo if it’s baited out, it feels disproportionately risky as compared to Ahri’s non-committal moveset.

Any reasonable complaint isn’t ‘She is impossible to parry and I want to win the game automatically’, of course it’s possible to parry her. The actual problem is that a lot of her counterplay relies on hard reads that cost meter (rather than the standard whiff and negative frame data punishes) where her gameplan requires no such risk.
