Tips

Zafina's Mantis (MNT) stance is very low; use Claudio's df+1 (i15) or b+3 (i13) to check her, as both are safe mids that track well.
- 0
If Zafina uses Scarecrow (SCR) stance, be wary of SCR.4, a power crush mid that is i15~16 but heavily punishable at -18 on block.
- 0
Punish Zafina's df+2 launcher (-12 on block) with Claudio's 4,3 for a homing high response or 1,2 for a quick i10 punish.
- 0
Zafina's d+3 low poke transitions to MNT and is -15 on block; use Claudio's uf+4 (Sky Slash Nova) for a full launch punish.
- 0
Watch for Zafina's f,f+3, which is +4 on block; do not press buttons immediately after, as she can transition to SCR with a frame advantage.
- 0
Claudio's b+1 is a safe i18 homing mid (-8 on block) that is excellent for catching Zafina if she tries to sidewalk his linear pressure.
- 0
Against Zafina's MNT.df+1, which is +10 on block and a Heat Engager, you must respect the follow-up pressure despite it being a mid.
- 0
Zafina's sweep from FC.df+3 is -26 on block; ensure you use Claudio's ws2 for a guaranteed i15 launch punish.
