General Tactics
Lab Coat is a potent, well rounded character with no distinct faults. This lets her run many different gameplans and lets her pick whichever one the opponent is most weak to. Her neutral is strong between her Ki Blasts, Beam, and anti-air tools which lets her effectively keep opponents out. When she wants to go in, her Savory Slicer is among the best lariats in the game and is also Ki Blast invulnerable. In pressure, she has every option available to her: overheads, lows, command grabs, and even a decent crossup normal with j.H.
Deserving of its own section, Photon Pulse is a cut above other level 1 supers. Between the command grab itself, the damage boost, the debuff, and the invulnerability, it's an invaluable tool for Lab Coat. She can land it raw, she can land it in a combo, either way is good for her. In terms of defensive usage, 22S is better for catching buttons. However, 236HS is both faster and more invincible than 214S.
