Very quick and cool match.

I want to ask you 2 things now.

1) Why do you always do that air dive combo with b2 from MS?

Because it's safe or your favorite maybe?

2) In the midscreen combo with the kiss you did, do you dash and dive kick after the kiss? And you said you figured out the timing of it online, can you tell me as well? Thanks ^^

@Sindelia1

1) It's my Midscreen BnB. It's not THAT safe, since I drop this combo so many times, but it's certainly the most effective. After a succesful Dive Kick, 42% damage is guaranteed if my opponent doesn't use a breaker.

2) Yeah, after the Neutral Jump Punch I do a SLIGHT dash and then do the Kiss. The timing is tough, since you must complete the input for the kiss even before Sonya finishes the dash. After hitting the Kiss, I do a simple Dash, jump-forward and Dive Kick them to death!

2) As for the timing online... Well, since I bought a PS3, I play online with terrible lags. After countless hours spent playing GTA IV and BFBC2 online, I kind of have deeply understood how the "input lag/delay" works, and since then I was able to do unbelievable Headshots just predicting the lag/delay time in different situations. I brought this knowledge to MK, and then I can adapt to the most different lags quickly, thus being able to press the buttons at the right time.

@Sindelia1

So, the lag/delay thing isn't something I can explain, since it varies depending on the connection of the other player. But it's something I experienced for so long that I was able to get used to it, and now I can mold my offline strategy to an online strategy with different timing without huge problems.
