"Dragunov is an aggressive rushdown character who wants to get in close and smother opponents with a relentless assault of pokes and heavy-hitting power mids. If you dare to challenge him, you open yourself up to his punishment, and if you run away, you'll quickly find your back to the wall. Dragunov forces you to make decisions, and makes you pay dearly for choosing incorrectly."

Archetype

Strengths

Good poking thanks to his good jab and long limbs
Fast, high-crushing low with d+2
Exceptional plus frame pressure with wr2
Full stage wall carry with extremely flexible combo structure
Complete throw game (1, 2 and 1+2 breaks)
Above average movement - very good backdash and sidestep
Good while standing punishment - has access to an i12 wallbounce in ws1,3
Reliable punishes on heavy pushback moves

Weaknesses

Weak tracking on some of his core tools, and his homing moves are a little lackluster
Weak counter hit game - no magic 4 nor fast counter hit mid launchers
Lack of defensive tools or panic button
Weak standing punishment - no knockdowns or wallsplats until i15 or slower
Poor vertical hitbox on mid pokes - susceptible to evasion
Mediocre low crush options
Can be heavily punished for whiffing key moves (wr2, b1+2, cd1...) due to their speed and high recovery
