Match-Ups

VS Cheng Sinzan

Be careful with blockstrings because Cheng players love to breakshot any chance they get. The damage is well worth the meter for them.

Don't ever let him get away with that Sneeze move up close, you can stop it with pressing Stand A constantly up close or Stand C if they far away and time it late

If he throws fireballs in the corner, let them know that it's -5 on block so you can normal throw them up close, Stand A if they like the sneeze move (Time Stand C afterwards if they're far away) as well as Stand A or Crouch A to take your turn back

Neutral Hop/Jump A beats his Belly Dive outside corner and in corner if you do right away as a hard read if he tries to scare you with that. Very punishable for him if blocked of course.

If they tiger knee their P-Power it hits lows and if they do up in the air it hit high up and very punishable. Tiger Knee'd just normal throw them out of whatever they're about to do.
