I do agree that critiquing is good whether it be right, wrong, negative, or positive. Because as you said critiquing sparks discussion and intelligent conversations. Making blatant rude comments with no real reason other than just cause is not.
It's good to critique matches. False critiques, or accurate. Because with faulty critiques, also comes people who can explain the MU better.
Cervantes lacks the tools necesarry to put Pyrrha under pressure. Once he does anything at all it puts her at advantage. Which in other matchups isn't that big a deal. But in this one once she gets started it's hard to stop that little girl from running train on your face.

The simple fact that you're posting that you "rape" all Pyrrhas means the people you either a) don't know shit about the matchup or b) are trash. Now please take your negativity to someplace where it belongs cause no one here wants to read that shit.
I think what Inmortal is trying to say is "Fight back & give your enemy a reason not to do the shit he/she does again or else!". I never heard about a players options being limited. That's new to me; also I won't doubt that Hates is a good player despite the performance he displayed (even though I never played him). Seeing him in action was like a first impression to us (or just me), but it was so shitty that it just gets to us in a way where were like "Damn, you suck!".

To me, it looked like Hates was under pressure or he was just playing as the tortoise too much. What he failed to do is tempt you to change it up a little bit with successful moves & inflict any pressure on you. Instead he just took everything you got & tried to hang in their. For him to be playing you every night, he should know to adjust a little bit in his methods to gain the upper hand in battle. Then fight his way to victory. May be easier said then done, but I of course wouldn't think my options aren't limited. Another thing I see him failing to use is his counter sword moves or GI's.

Pressure may be an annoyance, but there are its advantages in turning it in your favor. It's not like its impossible...
Lmao plz record it so I can laugh sooooo hard.
Inmortal's last statement interested me... I ended up watching the whole set again, and noted everytime Hates didn't whiff punish, and when he did. In the whole 9games, or I think that's how many, he missed 4whiff punishes.

He missed a 22B whiff, because he was predicting I'd continue with 22BA/K.
He missed a 22A whiff punish because he was out of range, and the recovering of that move is amazing
He missed a 4K whiff punish because I whiffed 4K as he whiffed a 3K.
He missed a WR B+K whiff punish, because he was too late inputting his 66B.

However, he whiffed punished...
CE
66A (2x's)
AA (2x's)
1K
236b

So, out of the 11x's I whiffed, he capitalized on 7 of them. When taking i consideration how long the set was, I'd say that's not a tremendous amount of whiffs, and that Hate's does pretty well at whiff punishing. About your comment on "turtling" as shown in the video, Pyrrha works better as a pitbull. Her top tools are directed toward's applying pressure. Inmortal, Hate's is actually a great player. Him and I play every night, and both have come to the conclusion that Cervantes' doesn't stack up well VS Pyrrha.

Do you happen to have PSN? I'll do a FT5 with you and record it if you want.
FT5 Xeph then? You're probably fighting bad Pyrrhas :/
lol im stupid? this cervantes dosent even wiff punish or move he just stands there which is pyrrahs main weakness, pyrrahs barely beat me, i always use safe moves and whiff punish away they also weak against guard crush cuz tend to turtle too much. EASY WORK!
Immortal you're stupid. When an excellent Pyrrha takes all the damage she can get and punish everything, it turns out Cervy's moveset gets extremely limited. It's a pretty bad time for cervy.
