Strengths

Weaknesses

Long limbs normals and command attacks that make their control of space a danger deal Can juggle the opponent with j.D Throws can't be softened The universal command grab have a long range, but can be blocked 236A/B is able to hit twice at more close ranges 236C/D causes instant Dizzy There's little to no counterplay against 412C/D

Unable to cancel their long range moves, can easily be punished if those are avoided or jumped DokiDoki and HaraHara have a really long startup time, being more of a situational supers 412C/D can initially seem like a move with little to no counterplay, however it's one of the larger knowledge checks of facing Politank and when knowing what to do, it can lead to taking large amount of damage coming Politank's way

Rising attack. Air Unblockable. 1~69F: invincible.
