Key moves
- Note for all of the below: unless otherwise mentioned, assume these moves have bad tracking.
Midrange Tools
- df4 - Basic 12f mid poke, decent range for its speed.
- ff2 - Forward advancing safe mid, great for stuffing out opponents at range. Gives LG on hit.
- ff4,3 - Forward advancing combo starter, with decent tracking to the right. -14 on block, with a risky low followup that can dissuade punishes.
- qcf2,2 - Safe mid,mid string with great range. Counter hits from either hit lead into a mini combo, and also has a cheeky KNK cancel.
Approach
- fff3 - Basic slash kick, plus on block.
- d2 - Forces crouch on block at +4, and gives a counterhit combo.
- b1,4 / b1,1+2 - Risky strings to use but can be nice midrange against timid opponents. b1,4 gives mix but the 2nd hit is steppable, b1,1+2 will stop the stepping but is -12. .
Close Range Tools
- 1 - Basic 1 jab. Don't use 1,4 on block.
- 1,2,1,1 / 1,2,1,4 - String follow ups that are useful for counterhitting after your 1,2. The first 3 hits are all highs, though.
- 4 - 12f magic 4, gives a decent minicombo on counterhit.
