At the request of tsukaesugi I have decided to post the little trick I found on how to score an easy win against Princess Sissy.

How to apply the proper ownage to Princess Sissy's royal behind.

(Also available on tape: Narrated by William Shatner)


Step 1: At all costs avoid fighting up close, because she can, and will slap you around like a cheap heroin whore. Instead, at the start of the match, make a mad dash to the opposite end of the stage, leaving you a full screens length away.

Step 2: She will more than likely make a move at you right at the start, so using your distance as your advantage, simply dash forward and double jump over her (this will give you plenty of air space between her and any move she can use against you).

Step 3: When you finally get a full screens length away, she will do one of two things: 1) She will either use her "frog in the box" move, then proceed to rush you with her drill kick/chainsaw move. Or 2) She will simply charge you with the drill kick/chainsaw move.

Step 4: You can do this with any character, but I find it to much easier with a character who has an uppercut type move, since there is a much less chance of your moves colliding with hers.

(for examples sake, let's use Buntaro and his F,D,DF + Kick move)

Step 5: Using Step 2 and Step 4 as your basis, simply do this...If she uses her "frog in box" move DO NOT ATTACK but instead dash and double jump over her, putting you a full screens length.

Instead, wait for her to just charge at you, then hit with your uppercut-type move. If you time it right (and it isn't hard to) you'll hit her every single time.

Continue to stay far away, let her charge, and keep nailing her with the same move over and over. If you do this correctly, you should walk away with two perfect KO's under your belt.

This little trick works really well with the majority of the characters, anyone with an uppercut move should be able to pull this off without losing a round. However, for a certain few characters it is a bit trickier (Poochy and Buffalo take me a few tries), because you'll often end up colliding with her and her damage has priority over yours.
Overall, this should save you a lot of frustration, because without this, Sissy is a tough fight.

Hope this helps, enjoy :)

Thanks. So far, I've been using Poochy, and it's definitely not easy. I mean, Poochy is a really good character, and I think compared to the other's I've used, Poochy is the best, but against Sissy, I got my ass handed to me.

Anny was even worse for me, but I'll try your strategy with her uppoercut.

Poochy is a tough character to win with, but I manage to best her by building up my special meter then using the forementioned methods and waited for her to charge, then used his unblockable bear attack DM to nail her.

Only problem is when taunting to build up your meter, she will taunt as well, and thus send you two into the "quick time duel".

It's a good way to kill seconds on the clock and squeeze out a win if you happen to be ahead at the time out count (which is another cheap way to win).

I still haven't beaten Sissy yet, but I think that I forgot to dash forward before jumping. I merely tried to double jump as she closed in and would always get pummeled by the abobo in a box move.

By 1 am last night, I just gave up.

Wow, just saw your post now AJ, thanks. That's another one I'm going to print up and try out.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I beat Sissy once already, but I cheated; I stuck my power meter on MAX and just kept hitting her with my super.

I'd like to be able to say that I can beat her without resorting to cheating!

Not really much else I have to offer, just try to stay as far away as you can and memorize her attack pattern.

Oh yeah, and I think that Abobo attack from the box is unblockable in air. I haven't tested it to make sure, but everytime she uses it when I jump, I get nailed by it, so I'm fairly certain it is.

I just beat Sissy without cheating. Sort of.

I was using Jimmy from ROTD (thanks for the codes EW) and was kicking everyone's ass using his special (and my MAX'ed out stress meter) before I got to Her Royal Cheapness.

I couldn't pull Jimmy's special off fast enough to get her when she was open, and the rest of the time her Royal Cheapness blocked/ jumped/ shot a frog/ used Abubo.

I had to resort to some of the non-cheating tactics I had been practicing earlier in the day.

1) like Average Joe said before, whenever she charges you with her drill-kick, she leaves herself open. Instead of using a uppercut, I jumped over her and hit her with a sweep kick (providing one of her frogs isn't jumping around)

2) whenever she shoots her frog ray at you (her super), she is also open. As soon as you start to see her make the move jump towards her and over the beam, then land with a low kick. (again, providing one of her frogs isn't jumping around)If you aren't close enough for a low kick, jump back asap before she hits you with something nasty. (This is where the semi-cheating part comes in. Our stress meters were maxed, so she kept using this move repeatedly whenever I was about a screen away. She obviously wouldn't be doing it so much if her stress meter was normal.)

THOSE GODDAMN FROGS!

Man, they piss me off. They don't get in her way, she can just glide past them, but they hella get in your way. If she's doing her drill move, you can't jump behind her if there's a frog there, you'll get dinged and it will fuck up your timing. If she's doing her frog-ray super, you can't jump kick her, 'cause then you get dinged again. Sometimes she'll launch a frog, then charge at you and let Abubo out of the box, so that you've got three enemy sprites coming at you in a virtually unblockable combination.

Damn.

Oh well, I beat her without using my super ten times in a row. Next I have to see if I can beat her without having her stress meter MAX'ed out.

I managed to win on the default settings with Lynn and Poochy. This was done by following the routine of projectile at 3/4 screen distance, roll behind her after she rolls in, and then a quick combo. As long as you can keep it simple, without adding in the super desperations and shit, you should be good. Although it's easy to add lynn's desperation after rolling behind Sissy, the damage isn't that inspiring.

Tell me about it.

@EW haven't been playing any Matrimelee this week, I'm up to my eyeballs in students' homework assignments... I'm gonna take some time off on the weekend though and have another go at it... BTW, does the soundtrack have a lyric sheet?

Wow... nice bump.

Just when I was starting to doubt my genius someone is nice enough to remind just how much better at fighters I am than everyone else.
