Tips

  • 0

    When Zafina uses d+3 to enter Mantis (MNT) stance, she is -15 on block, making it launch punishable by your d+3+4 or ws2.

  • 0

    Zafina's Scarecrow (SCR) power crush SCR.4 is a mid that is -18 on block; you can punish this heavily with a full combo launcher.

  • 0

    If Zafina transitions to Mantis (MNT) and uses the df+1 mid, be aware it is +10 on block, giving her a massive frame advantage.

  • 0

    Zafina's f,f+3 is +4 on block and transitions to Scarecrow (SCR); do not press buttons immediately after blocking this to avoid being counter-hit.

  • 0

    Use Jin's 4 (High Right Roundhouse) to catch Zafina's lateral movement, as it is a homing move that is only -9 on block.

  • 0

    Zafina's db+4,2 string is punishable at -13 on block; use Jin's 2,4 or 1+2 to punish her for finishing the string.

  • 0

    Against Zafina's low sweep FC.df+3, which is -26 on block, use your most powerful delayed rising launcher like uf,n,4 for maximum damage.

  • 0

    Zafina's df+2 is a launcher that hits crouching opponents at i16~17 and is -12 on block; punish it consistently with 2,4.
