Anji Mito

Favorability Goes Here


Although Anji's 236K will catch careless STBTs, his ranged options are poor and the spin isn't great against a lot of I-No's other neutral options. Keep your distance with your projectiles, be aware of when spin's guard point ends and when he's in range to be a legitimate threat with his normals and Fuujin.

Axl Low

 Axl
Favorability Goes Here


Much easier than in previous games thanks to Axl's normals no longer being air unblockable. Don't rely too much on hoverdash to close distance, use regular jumps, 236S and short airdashes instead. Once you're in midrange all your usual high/low profile options become threats and when you score a knockdown, it's basically over for Axl as his defensive options are also worse than ever.

Favorability Goes Here


It can be hard to catch him, but Chipp's movement isn't as tricky to call out as Millia's. Don't expect to be the aggressor here, use your disjoints wisely and on defense don't be afraid to guess.

Faust

Favorability Goes Here


Another historically poor matchup for I-No that Strive broke open. Most of his grounded and aerial zoning options can be stuffed with 214K and his defensive options are some of the worst in the game. Make liberal use of 214K, and if he's in the air, air-to-air dives to close distance and start your offense.

Giovanna

Favorability Goes Here


Since her nerfs Giovanna has gotten a lot easier to deal with, especially if she plays aggressively. Use 6P and 2H to stuff stepdash approaches, and dives and long hoverdashes to crack open more defensive playstyles.

Goldlewis Dickinson

Favorability Goes Here


Stay far out, throw note to force him into acting. Behemoth Typhoon can be good at stuffing your approaches and its best to use 236S/H or hoverdash in only when you've forced him into an uncomfortable position. 236H can be useful to completely avoid his weird air approaches but it will lose to j.D or j.H, so beware of that.

Jack-O

Favorability Goes Here


When Jack-O pulls servants you can close distance, you can STBT to get in or 214K to safely whiff punish a lot of her options when she tries using her air mobility to keep you out. Once you're in her poor defensive options and low health come into play.

Ky Kiske

 Ky
Favorability Goes Here


A matchup you have to play fairly honestly. Keep fairly close, such that Ky feels uncomfortable to press 6H in fear of getting CH by f.S or 2H, but not so close that his shorter pokes such as 2S and f.S are effective. When in this range use your strong disjoints to catch him swinging.

 May
Favorability Goes Here


Extremely difficult. May's normals are huge and disjointed, and cover multiple approach options at once. Keep your distance and try and use your projectiles to get her into the air for her approaches, where her buttons are more contestable.

Millia Rage

Favorability Goes Here


Millia's air mobility can make this matchup feel hopeless, but it's far from impossible. Don't try to chase her down relentlessly, but don't wait for her on the ground to come to you. If she's in the air, try to position yourself so that you can air-to-air her instead of having to guess which of her movement options she'll use. Fortunately her ground game isn't as hard to beat, but she can very easily anti-air you for careless preemptive jumps.

Nagoriyuki

Favorability Goes Here


Very difficult. I-No has answers to all of Nagoriyuki's options but each carries a much heavier risk than reward. Note is unusable in this matchup until Nago has around two bars of blood filled as he can react to its startup with clone into Fukyo and punish. Play in the midrange and be aggressive unless he's filled enough blood for you to safely note from fullscreen.

Ramlethal Valentine

Favorability Goes Here


Ramlethal's best pokes are extremely vulnerable to low profile and she'll be especially wary of this against I-No. It's likely she'll lean more towards options like 2S, 2H to cover both STBT and hoverdash, or play a simple coin flip by alternating between run up 2K and f.S, since if she goes into the air and tries to box you out with j.S or j.214S you can STBT to get in fairly easily. Observe what your opponent likes to do and use f.S to beat 2S/2H, or 2H to CH run up 2K.

Sol Badguy

 Sol
Favorability Goes Here


I-No can quite effectively play at any range she wants to against Sol, but she prefers to be slightly further out. In midrange, she has answers to all his buttons. At long range, she can abuse note and HCL to make him move the way she wants him to. His damage and offense don't make things easy for her, however, his defense isn't as strong against I-No as it might seem at first, as her frametraps must still be respected even with a 3f button on deck, and Volcanic Viper is significantly less useful against a character who can easily set up safejumps and note oki.

Zato-1

Favorability Goes Here


I-No can control neutral well at any range, as her pokes beat Zato's one to one at midrange, and she can preemptively punish Eddie summon at any range with Chemical Love. However, the strength of 214K against Eddie means she prefers to be farther out. As Zato's defensive options are much poorer than average, once she's on top of him there's not really much he can do to disrespect her mixups. However, his offense is just as scary as hers, and his damage is better too, especially midscreen.
