Compared to most of the roster, Paprika's antiair game is somewhat lacking. Many players will attempt to jump at you, as 5B and 2C are not very high profile and can be called out by opposing jump ins. Paprika's nature as a charge character means that she does not always have access to her universal antiair 6A. She instead uses Cart A, air to air jA, or system mechanics such as pushblock and backdash to evade air options. Belly flop ([2]8X) is a risky, high reward callout on jump ins but relies on having a down charge and can be baited. | Compared to most of the roster, Paprika's antiair game is somewhat lacking.

Neutral
Paprika's ground normals are very powerful. 5B and 2C are very long buttons that come out quite fast, making them great pokes for footsies. Cartwheel A ([4]6A) has some utility as well as an advancing button that can catch jump-ins, but it is much worse to whiff as it puts Paprika right next to the opponent for a punish. Pap's neutral gameplan is therefore focused on keeping herself in range and attempting to whiff punish or connect a normal on the opponent's block in order to begin running offense with Cart A. Paprika's shorthop jC also is good for controlling space due to its massive wide hitbox and great plus frames on block.
