Lili vs Zafina

Check Zafina's Scarecrow (SCR) transitions with df+1 (i13) or 4 (i12) to prevent her from building momentum, as many of her entries like SCR.1 are -2 on block.

If Zafina uses d+3 to enter Mantis (MNT), she is -15 on block; use uf+4 or uf+3 (i15) to launch her before she can low-profile.

Zafina's f,f+3 is +4 on block and transitions to SCR; do not press buttons immediately, but be ready to block the SCR.4 power crushPower crush A move that absorbs highs and mids during startup. Power crush which is -18.

Zafina's db+4,2 is a powerful string, but you can interrupt the second hit with a quick i10 jab or df+1, as there is a gap after the -12 low.

Watch for Zafina's Mantis (MNT) df+1, which is +10 on block and a Heat Engager; reset to neutral rather than challenging.

Use Lili's sidestep (SSSidestep A quick step toward the background or foreground that makes linear moves miss. Sidestep) to evade Zafina's linear tools like f,f,F+3 (+7 on block) and punish with SSSidestep A quick step toward the background or foreground that makes linear moves miss. Sidestep.1+2.

Zafina's df+2 is a i16 mid launcher that can evade some highs; punish it with 1+2 (i12) as it is -12 on block.
