Quick overview
| Waifu mishima. Weak tracking and lows? |
| SSL for df1. |
| SSR for df2, db4, df4, 1,2, |
| Both ways: db2, d2, 1,1(inconsistent?), 4, ff2(after electric), df3+4 |
| Sidewalk both sides: 2,2, |
| Against HRA (-6 CD4,2~d): You can't SS much, but you can |
| backdash all lows and throws. Have to guess after ws4,4. |
| Against SEN (ff2 oB): See common setups. TLDR; Jab or duck. |
HEAT
| Heat powers: Always electrics. HRA parries mids and highs, but |
| not elbows, etc. New extensions 3,4,4 | 3+4,4,4 | f3+4,4 |
| (They all get the same -8 mid kick extension to make them safe) |
| Heat smash can be reliably stepped. |
| Heat engagers: df1,2 | ff3 | SEN3 | UNS4 | HRA2 |
| Heat smash: i21 mid, +8 HRA / i18 low from HRA (-17) |
Stances
| Sentai (SEN). Transitions: ff2(+12 oH, +2 oB) | ws1(+13 oH) |
| b1,1,3(+13 oH, +0 oB) | HRA1(+12 oH, +0 oB) | 1,1,2(+11 oH) | |
| f2,3(+9 oH, -2 oB) | df1(+4 oH, -3 oB) |f3(also from HRA/UNS/df3) |
| i12h, i13m, i7 PC,SEN3+4 cs10,SEN4 js8. Empty SEN 12f vuln. |
| Heaven's Wrath (HRA). Transitions: WR4/f1+2,uf4 (+8 oB) | |
| HRA3,4(+8 ob) | df4,2(+8 oH, -6 oB) | ws4,4(+6 oH, -10 oB) |
| uf1(+8 oH) | SEN1+2(-6 oB, forced) | CD4,2(+6 oH, -15 oB) | |
| Unsoku (UNS). Transitions: f2(+6 oH, +0 oB) | u_b_d3 (manual) |
| Transition has a punch parry. Has UNS4 (i18,m, HE/KND, -8) |
| and the f1+2 / f3+4 roll strings. Can loop into UNS/SEN/CD. |

String handling
| She can't delay df1,2 like Heihachi (at least not nearly as much) |
| b1,1,3,3: There is a 17f gap before the last hit. You can "safely" challenge SEN transition. |
| 2,2,2,3: Part of her 10 hit. It's -18 and you can always launch, as there is at least 18f gap before next hit |
| 2,2,2: You can step (both sides) or i11 interrupt the third hit. 2,2,1 will hit both these options (and armor), but is -14. |
| HRA1,4: Can't SS, interrupt, and safe. You can however armor in between hits. |
| The b1+3 parry: This works kind of like Jin parry. Her frames in HRA after depends on the move she parried. String followups and |
| quick moves will generally hit her out of even armor. If she has heat she can just do nothing and auto parry mids/highs in HRA though. |
Other notes
| Unbreakable i16 throw from SEN and HRA. Her df2 has high evasion around -3 (df1 oB). |
| SEN4 i8 js. HRA 1+2 i6 armor. SWR easier against ff2? |
Duckable highs
| 1,2,3,4 | 3,2(mix) | df1,1(mix) | df4,2,3 | ws3,4 | CD1,4(mix, 4f fuzzy, high first) | |
Plus on block

| f4(+2c) | SEN3(+1) | d2(+0c) | |
