Quick overview
| Evasive, tricky, oki setups. Spam good mids that hits AoP. |
| SSL block close, SWR at range (WR3, ff4), SWL for ff3 |
| Against BT: SWL(at -3) beats everything except BT2, BT4,caliroll |
| Against AoP: You can SSR duck AoP3+4/d1+2 mixup on -7 (wr3), |
| but stepping seems risky (even on 0) because AoP2 "homing". |
| Against HYP: An SSL duck covers all options from a -2 transition, |
| if ff4(+8) just guess. You can react to more steps. |
| Manual AoP does a small SSR, but not from crouch / BT |
HEAT
| Heat powers: Hypnotist stance powered up. |
| HYP2: (-4, +5, +9) -> (+5, +9, +9) |
| HYP3 (on hit): (+7, KND, launch) -> (KND, launch, launch) |
| HYP2+3: More dmg |
| New extensions f2,1,2 and ff1,2: same as uf2 (+4 / +6 BT) |
| Heat engagers: db1 | b4,1 | BT1+2,4 | HYP2 | AOP2,1 |
| Heat smash: i15 m (+5 / +9BT) / BT i15 m(+5 / +19 HYP) |

Standing block punishment
| −15 pushback | f3,1,4(-22) | f1+2(-16) | BT4 / BT2,1,4 / FC 3,2,1,4 (-18) | BT3+4(-16) | AoP1,4(-9 BT, unparriable i15 is true punish) | | ||||||
| −15 | ub3(-13 AoP, find your punish) | uf,n,4(-18) | BT f3+4,3+4(-11 BT, hopkick or knee, elbow, ...) | ||||||
| −14 | b4,1 | AoP uf3,1(-4 AoP, find your punish) | AoP uf3,4 | | ||||||

| −12 | 1,d2,1+2 | f3,1,1+2 | ff1,4 | ff2,1 | AoP2,1 | AoP uf4,4 | b1(-12~7. This is very often safe, be careful) | ||||||

While standing block punishment
| −15 | df3(-23) | uf1 / BT uf1(-7 AoP, i33, has a cancel) | BT d4(-26) | AoP3(-16~-11, rarely below -14) | AoP3+4(float) | | ||||||

| −12 | db4 | BT d3 | AoP d1 | | ||||||
| −11 / -10 |
String handling
| 1,d2,1+2: You can SSL last hit, which is also good against BT transition. | |||||||
| df3 (snake edge): Has a cancel to BT, and can transition to AoP on hit or whiff. | |||||||
| b2,2: You should really low parry this, don't block it. | |||||||
| ff2,1 / u1+2,2,1 / AoP 2,1 cancel: Sabaki > everything but ff2 -> block. -19 BT if cancel, except AoP 2,1(-14 BT, but hopkick unparriable) | |||||||
| ff1,3/4: 3f fuzzy, high first. f2,1: Jails, can go HYP. HEAT f2,1,2 / HEAT ff1,2: SSR last hit (ff1,3_4 and f2,1,4 will hit you). | |||||||
| AOP f4,4(breakdance lows): Can't LP on hit, safe. | |||||||
| AOP uf4,4(spin kicks): i15 float in between. | |||||||
| f2,1,2_4: You can PC both options. |
Other notes
| Df1 has i6 high crush and good tracking. Have to SWL most of the time (can SSR in some situations like after f4 oB). Backdash better? |
| Manual HYP transition has built-in punch parry. She is +6 BT on the normal parry (which she can do from neutral, BT and HYP) |
| Has an i8 mid (b1) | Has an i1 parry from BT (doesn't parry knees, elbows, ...), and a manual low parry (at least i2 activation) |
Duckable highs
| df2,3 | d3,4 | ff1,3(mix, 3f fuzzy) | BT1+2,4(mix, 6f fuzzy, mid first, can delay both extensions) | BT d3,4 | |
| BT f1+3 / f2+4 / f2+3 (i31, duck on reaction or guess) | AoP1+3 / 2+4 (she rolls first, duck on reaction) |
Plus on block
| f3+4,3+4(+7) | uf2 / HEAT ff1,2 / HEAT f2,1,2(+6c BT / +4c) | HYP2(+5 (2 steps), +9 (3steps)) | |
| BT ff3+4(around +4~+9) | BT1+2,4(+3) | ws3(+3c) | db3 / BT db4(+2 low) | HYP3+4(+2) | |
| f4(+1) | d3,4(+0) | 3+4(0s AoP / -1c) |
Low minus
| ff3+4(-5~+3) | ff1,3(-1) | AoP1+2(-1) | 1,d2~b(-2 HYP) | HYP4(-2) | AoP uf,n,3(-2) | 1,2(-3) |
| f3,1(-3 BT) | 1,d2(-3 BT) | AoP4(-3) | 1,d2~d(-4) | DF1(-4) | HYP2(-4) | HYP1+2(-4) | ff2(-5) | |
| ws2(-3 BT / -5) | |
Low hit advantage
