Matchup Favorability

Favorability ratings are based on data collected by @CatCammy6 on Twitter based on ranked matches of similarly-skilled high rank players. This should not be taken as 100% factual, as even highly ranked players may lack information due to the rarity of certain matchups. These stats may also differ from those found at other levels of play.

2HP Close 🟨 j.214P (no reactable visual cue)

  • Hits A.K.I. (can use OD version for higher reward)
  • Risky guess (could either eat an SA3 or a punish on blocked divekick)

🟨 Air SA2 after Super freeze
