| Weaknesses | • Terrible vertical recovery • Struggles when getting comboed, and cannot deal with projectiles • Poor frame data, and lack of approach options | • Rather poor range • Doesn't have good tools for poking from the front • Somewhat mediocre recovery (can be edgeguarded if caution is exerted) |
