CBC4 HW Week 4: Petaflare vs Santangelo

[Trihunter]

Petaflare	Santangelo
Speed: 5	Speed: 8
Traction: 4	Traction: 7
Torque: 1	Torque: 2
Weapon: 13 (12 crusher/1 srimech)	Weapon: 1
Armour: 6	Armour: 12
Config: Standard	Config: Flipper

So I gotta fight Hoarfrost twice this week. Fuck.
Start the match with the crusher partially lowered, so Laz has less time to react to a grab. We'll be consistently not fully opening the claw to take advantage of this, so adjust the claw height to approximately one Santangelo-height during the match when reopening. Take it slow from the start, focus on getting our wedgelets under, and making sure they don't get around us. As soon as we're under, crush them and stick them in a wall before they try to escape. Just try to keep Santangelo stuck closer to the walls and corners where possible, keep them pinned, and crush as long and as hard as we can.

I could actually OOTA him over these low walls. They're a foot and a half. I have a foot worth of flip in power on top of stroke, and I definitely have over a foot of stroke. Those two factors combined = flip height. He's probably not counting on that because Santangelo's flipper is a meme. He's also not gonna high-end me easily. Hook or occasionally reverse right off his wedge when I lose wedge fights. When I win that 50/50, flip him right away and expose that slow and terribly-positioned srimech by using my speed to snowball him. IDK if he can realistically even self-right with the length of those arms. Line up an OOTA shot and get him over the wall. Otherwise, flip, push, angle. Get him from a bit of an angle and he's stranded on those side pontoons. If he ever does get a bite, he does 14 damage vs 12 armour. He doesn't even have breakthrough factor. I also still outpush him. Slam him into a wall for his trouble. Break free. Otherwise, use my fast-firing weapon, good wedge, and huge speed edge to dominate the fight and my surprising ability to OOTA to end this early.

GL fam. Sorry for no stats. I know you always get that.
