Hi all. I am now pretty much taking my account on MKD and taking on the big winners to see what they do. So far, a majority of them use Bo Rai Cho, or Dairou. Have beaten the Dairou thing with Noob/Smoke a few times, but have yet to beat Bo.
Any help would be appreciated. Here is all I came up with so far (trying to be general):
Dairou: Do not let up on him. Predict his tombstone drop, and jump. Even better, if you have a teleport attack, such as Smokeycut, do that. Worked like a charm for me. Don't give him space to think, and block a lot of high attacks, except for his sword.
Bo Rai Cho: I simply have no idea. The guy I played against was amazing, and pulled off some hits that were unblockable with his stick after I was thrown. The best thing I can come up with is do what hits you can, and if you are winning the life game, turtle like crazy. Bo isn't very fast, so he should have a hard time catching you.
Thoughts and help would be appreciated.

Look I am no master but I think you covered Dairou fairly well.
Generally the key is to get as close as you can and frustrate him into fighting in a way he is not used to.
With Bo I'd do my best in round 1 but save all breakers for round 2 and go all out to win it. I suppose you are right he is slow and if you have a good eye you can see the stomp coming so maybe fire away from a distance or hit and run tactics.

can be done. dairou, as u siad, is countered pretty easily. tombstone drop is countered by jumping or teleportation at pivotal moments. practice will give you that timing. brc is a little more difficult. the one thing u can take as comfort is that he is slow and his specials do not really count for much, cept the puke puddle. Like with hotaru, you know where the puddle is going to land, just enusre that u are not there. a sidestep at the critical moment ensures a few free hits. always go for a throw with N-S(i assume u play N-S), even with noob its 26 percent damage. with smoke, a throw means Brc either wasters a counter or dies. try small combos to waste breakers and use jump kick occasionally. u should be able to win.

With Dairou I use Night Wolf and like you said. Don't give him any room. If there is any space left between you, use the lightning bolt while he's throwing out his projectiles (like they always do). As soon as he's down, get over to him and mix it up. I usually sweep his legs twice. By that time he's gonna block low, thinking that you will do it a third time. You then use the over head kick, then uppercut (not a combo because a breaker creates space and will screw you when it comes to Dairou). After the upper cut lightning bolt him and repeat. Dairou will be dead in no time.
As far as BRC, I haven't played against him enough to tell you what to do, but the same mix up strategy should work on him as well.
Once I knock someone down with Nightwolf, Their game is pretty much over.

You're only chance is hope you get him guessing in a 50/50 mixup scenario. Usually but not always BRC users are aware of the broken 50/50 system and that is how they win. If they are not good at abusing it then you can probably beat them straight up.

Heres the strat for Bo Rai Cho...I use Kobra alot. so players tend to block high alot against me especiall bo rai cho players cuz they just cant wait to get a chance to puke on the ground and juggle the hell out of me. So I whip out the Kali Sticks and force Bo to use all his combo breakers. This part im about to say next may be cheap but then again bo rai cho is a top tier char....take what u can get against him. I constantly circle the arena and use low kali stick moves in a pattern that is easy to figure out until the point where he thinks he knows whats coming and then i nail him with the Up+3 Kali Stick move. As soon as he lands i then sweep or low fireball. then start Kobras Kali Stick combo then return to his first fighting stance and kinda turtle and wait for chances to strike. thats the best ive come up with. its probably easier for other chars but Kobra kinda has a limited move list.

loaded other than the turtling (if it's only for a small portion of the round then no big deal either) that's not cheap at all IMO, well done.

Here's a strategy that is sure to never fail. Triangle then X at the character select screen.

Thanks guys...appreciate the feedback, and will try some of those strategies.
Personally, I don't think turtling is cheap at all. It's just another strategy, and one to use if you want to make them come to you for a change.

Recently, I got a nice time-out win by turtling. But that's just how the game goes. The time was running out, and my opponent clearly had less health than me. We were already far apart, so I just stood there. He continued to keep his distance, so I just held my ground and let time run out. You gotta figure, in that situation it was his responsibility to try and close the health gap within the time limit. Instead he chose to sit and wait for me, so losing was his own fault.
Oh and last night I beat a BRC player; what i did was keep him at bay with Ermac's two launcher combos in Choy Lee Fut. His high launcher is 1,1,b+2... the overhead launcher is 1,u+1. Mixing in sweeps with those two can really play head games with your opponent. So I beat the guy... but he quit the game when it said FINISH HIM. Bastard. Take these strategies with a grain of salt, however, because this particular guy didn' seem like a real high-level player anyway.
