Tips
- 0
Many of Lars's SEN stance options are vulnerable to fast interrupts; however, be wary of SEN 1+2, which has power crush properties starting at frame 6.
- 0
Lars's db+4 (Shadow Cutter) is a high-reward low but is extremely punishable at -26 on block, allowing for your heaviest possible launcher.
- 0
Use df+1 to check Lars when he enters Dynamic Entry (DEN), as it is a i13 mid that can catch him before he transitions into his faster follow-ups.
- 0
Lars's f,f,F+3 is +6 on block and deals chip damage; try to sidestep this linear approach rather than blocking to avoid the heavy frame disadvantage.
- 0
Watch for Lars's uf+3 (Lightning Screw); it is -26 on block, making it one of the most punishable moves in his kit if you block both hits.
- 0
Your Libertador (f+3+4) can automatically evade Lars's high and low pokes, but be careful as his b+1 and b+1+2 are homing mids that will track you.
- 0
Lars's f+1+2 (Ark Blast) is -13 on block; punish it consistently with your ws4,1,3 or 1,2 to discourage him from using it as a mid-range launcher.
- 0
If Lars uses b+3 to transition into SEN, he is at -12 on block; use this opportunity to pressure him before he can access his stance mix-ups.
