Anyone play the Puppet Masters? If so, whats your fav? Tips?

[|Pipe Dreams]

I'm really trying to get good with either Sasori or Kankuro. I really like their combos, and the wya they fight (Kankuro a bit more). But i suck online, and do mediocre on Super Hard AI.

Who is your favorite, if you have one? Are you any good with them? Have any tips for us learning them?

My biggest hardship is when they chakra dash, knock my puppets down and chakra dash again and force me to use a Sub. How do i counter that? I've tried jumping and D-Jumping and it works about 50% of the time. I should also note that my trouble is coming from not having my puppets for a brief few moments.

When using a puppet master you have to make sure that your enemy can't (literally) do anything, not even throw shurikens, because that can leave you defenseless.

I like Sasori and Chiyo (Chiyo's tilt it's really useful when an enemy is close to you)

Basically follow these rules:

-Never stop chakra dashing, don't give your enemy a single chance to start running.
-You can use block + Left joystick to move your puppet wherever you want, really useful if you use it strategically
-If your puppet falls, jump and run, use Counter (guard + square) to keep your enemy away.

Puppets are basically trash tier that with the combination of you saying you do medicore with super hard bots means you should probably use the broken/op characters instead
If you still choose to use puppet users I suggest learning to spam the counter if your puppet gets knocked down cause without it you can't even use paper bombs

I have played puppets in all the Storm games since Storm 2, so I'd consider my self good at this point :)

As for tips.. My best advice is pick supports that compliment the puppet play style. When you are learning puppets you will mostly be playing defensive, and you'll need proper defensive supports. I'd recommend Pain and Kakuzu for starters.

If you need some inspiration, check out some of my vids, I have quite a bit of puppet game play uploade ;)
