Character Strategies and Notes

Sion probably has the most brutal moveset of the entire cast. Multiple frame traps, frame advantage strings, and high priority specials combine with her brutal jump C and offer nothing but pain. She is a god of drawing counterhits, and the queen of damage when she has meter -- her Cutting Synch loops are unquestionably the highest damage BNB combos in the game. Also watch out for her deceptive Shield Bunker cancels as well as her rare jump fakeouts with her air grab specials. She has very few weaknesses once she gets rolling -- the largest weakness is her sheer difficulty to use, causing anything but the most fanatic and well versed player to at times make technical or distance errors that leave her open where she should not be. You do not play Sion, you become Sion.

Sion is an advanced character. She is currently tiered upper mid.
