Hisako vs. Sadira Killer Instinct tiers, match-up votes and discussion

Arguably one of Hisako's hardest matchups. Hisako does have her way around fireballs. She has an amazing dash (probably the best in the game), Shadow On Ryo Zan, a (bad, but sometimes useful) teleport, it is hard to zone her. But there is one thing Hisako can't get around: Air Fireballs. A lot of people are scared to press buttons against Hisako because of her Counter, but that is Hisako's only defensive option, and that doesn't protect her from Air Fireballs, and that is what makes this matchup so hard for her.

Sadira can just BULLY her with Air Blades. It beats her anti airs, it beats her Counter, it beats her in the air, Hisako just has to take the D and wait for the right moment to do something. Patience is the key word. You can't do anything, only watch for that one opening and take advantage of it.

If you want to stand a chance against a Sadira player, you have to work on your defense. Don't throw out random Counters, be ready to tech grabs, watch out for her Double Jump mixups, if you find an opportunity to dash under her jump-in just do it, etc. You have to maintain your composure, or else, you will get DESTROYED by Sadira's air pressure. 7-3 matchup for Sadira imo
