Miguel is a brawler that likes to pressure opponents in their face with effective pokes and Savage Stance mix-ups. A solid character with decent tracking, combo damage, counter hits, okizeme, and of course pressure, and exceptional movement. He struggles with long-range punishes, lacks a good mid CH launcher, and lacks moves with built-in evasion. Miguel wants to be either right in front of the opponent or just out of range to whiff punish with his good hopkick or f+4,2.
NOTE: Miguel having short jab range is a meme and incorrect. He has high jabs, kind of the opposite of Kazumi's jabs. The only range issues he has are with 2 (for i11 punisher 2,1) and d+1 (duck jab).
