Zuko Playstyle
Play honest pressure with strong mid-range fire pokes, then step into sword range once the opponent hesitates. Zuko is a good pick for learning offense without relying on gimmicks.
As a Close-range offense / sword-and-fire mix fighter, Zuko is best judged by how reliably their core plan gets started, how safely they spend resources, and whether their support-character choice covers bad matchups. Use Training Mode to test frame data, hitboxes and save-state routes before taking the character online.
Strengths & Weaknesses

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.
