Matrimelee/White
Overview
White is a slow charge & grappler character that hits like a train. One combo will easily drain an opponent's life down by 1/3rd or more. White also holds the highest health pool of 180. However, White is insanely slow. Having the slowest run and walk speed it cripples his attempts at getting in and can easily be avoided by some characters with faster walk speeds or longer normals.

Strategy
White is not a great character. He has extremely slow walk/run speed and slow move recovery. In order to make up for his extremely slow speed, he has to play extremely smart and calculate the risk of approaching.
Approaching
Approaching an opponent with White is extremely difficult due to his slow speed. But, White can get in with his 9.D. White's 9.D has an extremely large hitbox and can cross-up. For a grounded approach, using 2.A or 2.B is your best and safest option. You can cancel both normals into light Tackle Blow, which Hard Wall Slams and can give access to a cross-up attempt. White can also use light Buffalo Storm and follow the projectile. Forcing them to block, jump or roll the Buffalo projectile. This sets up a grab, an anti-air juggle, or even a cross-up. Once you do manage to approach and hit the opponent it is crucial that you know White's combo options and routes so you can capitalize on his big damage and take the life lead. You will have to be very careful if your opponent blocks everything White can easily be punished on block and whiff.
Playing Neutral & Defense
White's Heavy Buffalo Storm is excellent for playing defensively. You can hold it and release it whenever you want. Both versions of Buffalo Storm have a great anti-air kick that is active upon releasing the special. White's level 1 Stress Shot is also excellent at catching jump-ins due to it being air unblockable. White's Stress Shot is also a projectile, so if White ever gets it'll trade for big counter hit damage. However, the level 1 is extremely unsafe on whiff and block. It's an easy punish for those who are patient so use it sparingly. White also has a great Standing CD, or great attack. It's extremely fast, causes a hard wall slam, and is special cancelable. Use his standing Great Attack to check unsafe approaches.
White is extremely match-up based. If your opponent doesn't know the matchup and doesn't know how to punish your unsafe moves it'll be easy. If they do, expect a difficult time winning.
