Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Strong zoning with a myriad of tools to keep the opponent out in the air and on the ground. Good okizeme with her 2S (WMD) and 4S (Fireball). Does not rely too much on meter at all to play her gameplan. Is cute robot girl

Doesn't have a lot of options when pressured with her only invincible reversal being 2HSE. Below average health having the second lowest health in the game (shared with Ali and Kawase). Projectiles can be a risk to throw out in the midrange as they have enough recovery to be punished by a jump-in. In contrast to her great fullscreen pressure, her normal buttons are lacking in the close to midrange.
