Dragunov is an unrelenting, pressure-oriented (rushdown) character with a focus on fundamentals.

Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths:

  • Exceptional pressure tool with While-Running 2/instant While-Running 2 (WR2/iWR2)
  • Fast, high-crushing low with d+2
  • Great wall carry with Crouch-Dash-Cancel (CDC)
  • Solid, safe-on-break command throws

Weaknesses:

  • Somewhat average standing punishment (lack of a decent 13-14 frame punish)
  • Lacking Counter-Hit (CH) tools (aside from WR2/iWR2)
  • High-ish mid poke options, some characters in a "low stance" (Ling/Zafina/Lei/etc) can evade easily
  • Lack of (+) on hit lows pokes
  • Weaker tracking tools
  • Relies on good spacing/conditioning to succeed
