Use Training Mode to test frame data, hitboxes and save-state routes before taking the character online.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Strong defensive identity
- Good at punishing impatient players
- Controls grounded space well
Weaknesses
- Can feel slow against airborne movement
- Needs reads to get big reward
- Bad guesses lose positioning
Basic Combo Plan
Start with one safe poke, one simple midscreen confirm, one corner route and one anti-air punish. Do not chase long routes first; consistent small damage plus good positioning wins more early matches. Once you are comfortable, spend Energy Points only after a confirmed hit, then test which support call extends the route without making it unsafe.
Exact inputs, damage numbers and frame data should be checked inside Training Mode because they can change with patches.
