Please help with my weakness

How do I stop button mashers? When it comes to Brad, Pai and Sarah I just suddenly cant get into stopping them. I know that they arent stricktly button mashers but they are attacking so fast and constantly that you cant get a p out. I play with Jacky or Lau.

 

Use to interrupt their offense then go for your mid attack or a launcher if you get a counter hit. If they are gonna keep pushing buttons you'll win every time.

 

Or better, block their attack (like low punch) and then immediately . Need to be sharp to hit them between their mashing, but its the correct thing to do.

 

Yeah, that's what I meant, block first then interrupt them if they keep attacking.

 

Thanks online the timing seems to be a bit strange compared to playing vs the computer. I do manage to just press block all the time but just seems that its a bit difficult to get that low p in between their mashing.

 

Against mashers, I just wait for an advantage and then do elbow. If it counter-hits, I do elbow again. If it normal hits, I do low punch. If it's guarded, I guard.

Even online, I have no problem reacting to my hit and following the above. If someone's mashing hard, usually they'll eat about 5-6 counter-hit elbows in a row before deciding that they should stop pressing buttons.

 

Thanks will try it later when wife goes to bed.
