Introduction
THE 'NOV.
Karnov is Data East's flagship character, and his powerful is *nearly* unmatched in FHD. His invincible balloon, high damage output and doable infinites make him a strong contender in this game. He is often thought to be unbeatable, but the more you play him you will recognize the weakness of Karnov....

Do not brainlessly spam balloon. Ray has the edge here with Wheel Kick. You will also not be using close fireballs / flame breath for this same reason. Ray's fireball is incredibly fast, so use balloon to float over those. Just be careful to never enter wheel kick range. (Need more info)
