Matchups

Abel

Abel [character page]
Blocked step kick ~ Dash is +1, so a perfectly timed 3f jab will trade at best with his cl.HP. You have to mix up your defensive options (backdash, jab, DP, even Raida if you predict a throw). Tornado Throw is throw invincible, EX is strike invincible. His overhead Wheel Kick can be interrupted by reaction EX Kazekiri if he gets predictable with it

Adon

Adon [character page]
When Adon jumps to the wall, watch his meter. EX Jaguar Tooth drains the meter before he attacks, so you can react with EX DP immediately without worrying about a LK Jaguar Tooth bait.

Akuma/Gouki

Akuma [character page]
Safe Jumps: None (3f DP) In the corner, EX Tsumuji > cr.HP ~ jump cancel j.LK/j.MK both cross up; if you hold forward and do j.LK~j.MK you'll get the air Target Combo and stay on the same side.

Balrog/Boxer

Balrog[No Data] [character page]

Blanka

Blanka [character page]
If Blanka uses Ground U2 to chip you out in neutral, you can punish with Jump into Sweep or Ultra 2. If close enough, jump into an immediate fast normal will also work. Be careful not to jump into Anti-Air U2, you can neutral jump if that's a concern.

C. Viper

C. Viper [character page]
Don't use a Kunai to vortex when she has meter, as she can EX Seismo Feint; Option Select a Throw to beat this You can make Air Burn Kick whiff by low profiling with cr.MK

Cammy

Cammy [character page]
Tsumuji Loops: None

Chun-Li

Chun-Li[No Data] [character page]

Cody

Cody [character page]
Cody has a pass-through glitch on standing Ibuki: Close HK xx FADC (hit only) st.MP, st.MP, st.MK usually works, but can whiff on crouching if not point blank (e.g. after crossup j.MK).

Dan

Dan [character page]
Tsumuji Loops: None cr.MK can make LK Dankukyaku whiff to escape his pressure strings

Decapre

Decapre[No Data] [character page]

Gen

Gen [character page]
Ultra 1 makes it very dangerous to throw a kunai

Gouken

Gouken [character page]
Safe Jumps: None (1f Counter) His Counter can beat your vortex options, so mix in empty jump low/throw/overhead as well; if he has full meter, it's probably not worth risking eating a counter into Super.

Guile

Guile[No Data] [character page]

Guy

Guy[No Data] [character page]

Hakan

Hakan [character page]

Oil Dive can only hit standing; because it takes ~4f to crouch, it can throw you on wakeup or after standing hitstun/blockstun. The safest way to avoid this is to hit a crouching button, which immediately lowers your hurtbox to a crouching state. You are throw invincible for the first 2f of any reversal window, so you always have at least a 3f window to time this button press. Raida is also throw invincible, and can be a useful defensive option against both Oil Dive and Oil Rocket, at the risk of being very unsafe on block.
