Indigo excels at mid-range zoning and keepaway, having powerful options to shut down projectiles and incoming offense. In mid range, and sometimes long range play, Indigo can control the pace of the game and use his committal buttons without being punished. With just one bar of meter, Indigo has access to scary mixups and long, damaging staircase combos that force the opponent to use meter to get out.
Indigo struggles when he is under pressure, as he has no hitting reversal options, and a short backdash with low invuln frames. His disjointed buttons have dead zones up close, and that makes him unable to use his best buttons when in close range pressure. Indigo's general escape options have no hitboxes and leave the opponent actionable. Hence, he has to make use of universal mechanics and proactive defense to get out of sticky situations.
Overall, Indigo has a stable, flexible gameplan, with a grounded projectile, a cancellable aerial float that gives him oppressive aerial projectiles, disjointed buttons, and multiple evasive options that let him hold his position on screen. Indigo's design rewards strong fundamentals, letting you stuff approaches before they happen, giving you options to shred opponents up close, or keep them at a distance for your zoning plans.
