I have recently decided that I should become a SoPo main, being that Nana's AI sucks too much for me to tolerate. I'm going to do this by SDing my Nana after every stock. My checklist for things I need to do to become good at the character of SoPo is simple: chaingrabs and killing Nana. Because that's how you play SoPo.
While I'm sure most people try to keep Nana before going SoPo, I've always found it very hindering, trying to save Nana instead of fighting. I've found that more often then not, while my Nana is being comboed, I'm trying to save her, and end up putting myself in a bad position. Other times, she f-smashes and ruins a perfectly good combo. But, most annoyingly of all, nobody else likes wobbling. I tried using handoffs exclusively, but nobody liked that either.. So, SoPo it is.
Of course, studying this character is just watching regular top ICs play, because, well, SoPo is a fact of life as an ICs main. Some SoPos' are more striking than others (as I'd consider Fly's SoPo to be far superior to Drunk Sloth's SoPo). Simple frame data and established chaingrabs will also help with the process of killing off all the Foxies and Swordsmen I find in bracket.
I myself consider SoPo to be better than Mario, but not as good as Ganondorf, so playing with a low-mid tier will be an intresing challenge (and doable unlike my secondary Pichu).
I'll probably end up updating this with all the SoPo stuff I do (probably just vods xd). I thought I'd just inform y'all that there's a SoPo in town!
Actually,
PS,
Are there any other SoPo mains? I myself have never found one, but hey, you never know
