Misc stuff
214P > PRC > 214K. The Telecrow. Maybe a safer or more threatening way to close distance? Figure out situations to use this. Throwable if done too close.
Corner Pressure (TODO: organize/lab this)
6P Counter
- 236S (charge longer at shorter range) > 2H meaty on the SKD > 214P
Raw
f.S and 5H end your turn.
Blockstring brainstorm, see what works well:
They're jumping/IADing:
- 5K > 6H
- Can trade if opponent is mashing
- 5K > dl.j.6D
- 5K > dl.6P
- Can stuff IADs and frametrap mashing
- 5K > dc > j.6D
- 5K > dc ~ 236H
Succ
- Crow > Arbiter
