Zafina's Mantis stance (MNT) can be checked with Jack's df+1, which is a safe i14 mid that prevents her from easily evading into lows.
- 0
If Zafina uses SCR.4 (Spinning Sappara), it is highly punishable at -18 on block; use Jack's f,f+2 or ws1 to launch her for a full combo.
- 0
Watch for Zafina's f,f,F+3 leaping kick, which is +7 on block; do not press buttons afterward, as she can transition to SCR with a frame advantage.
- 0
