c-c-c-combo breaker!

If she puts you in her frame trap, jumping will always beat the grab, but you're open to a punish counter if you guess wrong. On the other hand, you get a free jump-in combo if you guess right due to the slow recovery.

Do you feel lucky?

If she gets access to such easy damage, at the very least make it hard for her to get those grabs/medals. She can get a medal during combos, not just outside her command grab. I don't understand what the devs were thinking letting her keep the medals. Not to mention the almost unreactable slide. Even modern Manon does too much damage with at least 3 medals.

If she gets to keep her easy way of getting medals, then make her like Jamie. Lose medals upon new round. I'm feeling more comfortable approaching Gief than Manon.

She is one of the worst characters in the game. She has no neutral skip specials (fireball, dive kick, lariats, etc.), she gets no oki from most of her conversions, her best pokes are not cancelable so she gets bullied hard by Drive Impact, her drive rush is very slow. If you are getting clappled by a Manon player you are getting outplayed in neutral. This comes from a Zangief player, if you dont believe me check my CFN.

I'm having trouble with the Manon matchup but I'm improving, and it just comes down to learning her gameplan.

Her tools are pretty gimmicky if you can avoid her setups, and her neutral game is strongish if you approach it the same way you would other characters.

You have to know how and when to bully the ♥♥♥♥ out of her. Most of her buttons are unsafe so you have to know when it's your turn. Getting a knockdown on her ruins her day bigtime.

Resetting medals would mean she'd never get more than a couple in most rounds which would make the mechanic pointless.

if her medals get nerfed she will drop to the bottom of the bottom.

as it is been some talk people might see pros start dropping her after EVO (or at that use pocket characters if need be). they want to just win and other characters got easier avenues. her command grab shenanigans are illusions and when opponents know that she has to work harder.

Skill issue. And I'm not even a Manon player. She telegraphs her throws more than Gief does, just jump and punish.

[Dregora]

I don't think she's broken, just very highly effective at lower ranks because people don't know what to do against it. There's a reason chars like modern gief, manon, etc are all easy to climb with at first. They're not straight up characters as in you can't block their command grabs or anything, you actively have to know what they're doing and jump out of the way, can't tech it either.

she sucks against dhalsim

either that or most manon players are actually just terrible

[Ronin]

She's so broken that all pros dropped her or already announced that they will drop her after EVO.
