VODs from Dragunov's side

Tips

0

Claudio's hopkick (uf+4) is i15 and -13 on block; punish it consistently with your ws1,3 or ws4 to discourage its use.
0

Watch for Claudio's f,f,F+2 (Ira), which is +6 on block; try to sidestep it as it is a high and linear move despite its speed.
0

If Claudio gains Starburst, be wary of his ws1,STB.2 and d+1,STB.2, as both become +6 on block and grant him significant frame advantage.
0

Claudio's b+1+2 power crush is -13 on block; use your i12 df+4 or i13 df+1 to punish him for trying to armor through your pressure.
0

Claudio's f+2,2 is extremely unsafe at -26 on block; ensure you land your most powerful launcher for a maximum damage punish.
0

Use Dragunov's d+2 (i18) to chip away at Claudio, as it only leaves you at -13 on block and is difficult for Claudio to punish without a dedicated i13 ws move.
0

Claudio's Running 2 (f,f,F+2) is a high; if you duck it, you can launch him with ws2 for a full combo.
