Matchup: Rook vs Val

I just realized that throws and command grabs have different reactions to jumps, meaning that Rook has a 33/33/33 2 damage safe-ish vortex on knockdown… and up he goes in my tier list!

Command grab always loses to wake up jump
But jumping loses to meaty normal throw I believe.
It’s possible that it was a normal throw?

It’s also possible that internet connection garbled your input

Also I played some really good Vals last time. I don’t think it’s heavily in rooks favor at all. I want to believe it’s even because of how punishing Val is, since she can kill in like 2 combos

Yeah, it probably was a normal throw, that’s why I made that last comment.

I have no idea what the real MU is really - my intuition says it’s rook favoured

pengwndude in your case when i’ve played you your punish game is really weak so if you work on that you’ll have a lot more sucess i think!

ouch
brutal honesty

yeah, I played leontes quite a bit. I think my biggest weakness is eating crossups every time.
Certain moves I’ve been blown up for trying to punish so I guess I just play more cautiously
