String handling

uf4,4: -16 on cancel read.
df4,4: OS'able. Find a move that punishes second hit and floats teleport(generally strings/multi hits)
4~3: dick jab OS. Can also fuzzy, but hard. Also mid > SSR > h/l
3~4: Mixup if phase or not. Backdash into a move that realigns, or hold slightly forward -> BT hopkick to punish the phase.
b4,b4: Fuzzy LP, or just hopkick (b4,4 jails).
uf3+4: hold back, reaction LP if double twirl on ground (launch mid, get hit by low)
u3: 5f fuzzy LP(mid first, then 5f until low, then another 7f until high). LP to avoid fuckery with low -> teleport
3,3,4/cancel: dickjab/ fast highcrush low OS. -16 on hard cancel read.
