Fighter Profile

Grappler | Throw Mix-up Beginner

Offense

Defense

Execution

Weak to: Step Right

Overview

Powerful throw mixups, mids and armor; limited backdash movement and risky defensive reads.

Strengths

Throws: Extensive damaging command and high damage chain throws.Mids: Strong checks like df+1, df+2 (guaranteed a full combo on CH)Armor: Multiple tools challenge opposing pressure.Counter hits: has b+1,2; df+2,1 and f,f,n,1+2 which punishes bad retaliations

Weaknesses & Counterplay

Most damage throws are breakable; lab the 1/2/1+2 break windows to punish his throw pressure.Command grabs require precise directional inputs.whiff badly on step right.
