Quick overview

Lots of strong sabakies and reversals, evasive setups.
Generally SSR. SSL very strong after f4(+3) because of axis.
At -5 (ff1) stepping becomes more inconsistent, have to walk stuff.
Her RA is a mixup on block. Max hold is safe (+3), but steppable.
Immediate release and medium holds will track your SS/SW.
If you have rage, you can counter RA if she holds.

String handling

1,2,3 / 1+4,3 / f3 cancel: -18 on read.
2,1,d1+2 cancel: -18 on read. You can SSL the last hit (no cancel), but 2,1,2 will hit you.
b1+4,3/4: Really have to low parry second hit (-8 low), or else third hit is a mixup (there is a 7f fuzzy, mid first, but hard).
FC 3+4,3: You can jab float second hit, but she can cancel to crouch after first hit. Second hit jumps over a dickjab OS attempt.

Other notes

Only f3* variation is an unblockable.
