hcb+D > Close D > hcf+C

[Corner Combos]

j.C > Close B x1-3 > cr.B > hcf+C or qcb,qcf+P

Whip Sideswitch setup cornered (if opponent doesn't tech roll)

In the first place, you must hop crossup with j.C and do this combo at 2p side close to 2p corner :

Close B x1-2 > cr.B > qcb,hcf+P

After doing this combo, you must do 6A and after hyper hop with j.C and redo the same combo :

Inifinite Combo Glitch with D Throw on tall characters

Tall characters can be grabbed out of an OTG attack (cr.A as it happens). The tall characters are very probably Maxima and Chang only

In-depth Analysis

Qualities :

• Best high/low mixups of game (her Strength Shot Type A which is Overhead, her Strength Shot Type C which is low etc)
• Best j.c of game (crossup, can hit overhead and low, depending where you hit oponenent, which help her to her mixups thus), one of best j.d of game to air-to-air and one of best j.cd of game
• Nice backdash (who help her to keep away fastly opponent)
• One of best characters to zoning (cr.a and nj.c who gets high priority and long reach cause her "whip")
• Good damage
• her cr.b can connect in combo after Cancel roll forward
• Her throws are unbreakable, which is particularly valuable to she for her okizeme gameplay

Faults :

• Doesn't build meter fast
• Never stun opponent in matches
• Almost all her far normal attacks are unsafe, not cancellable thus without interest
• Only one dm (even if good dm)
• Has a reversal which is her DM but you will be easily punished if you bad predict opponent's move
• Pretty hard to play comparing to most others characters
• One of worst cd and cr.c of game

Bad as Striker
