Tips

Reina's Electric Wind God Fist (f,n,d,df:2) is +5 on block; do not press buttons immediately after, as she can trap you with her i13 SEN.2 mid.
- 0
If Reina uses Sentai 3 (SEN.3) to close distance, it is +1 on block and a Heat Engager, but you can interrupt her slower options like SEN.4 (i26~27) with your i12 b+1.
- 0
Reina's Hell Axle (WRA.3,4) is +6 on block and jails; if you block the first hit, you must respect the second, but the initial WRA.3 is i28 and can be interrupted.
- 0
Use Paul's df+2 (i15~16) to launch Reina if she whiffs highs, as it has high evasion and is only -8 on block, making it relatively safe if she blocks.
- 0
Reina's low sweep SEN.3+4 is -29 on block for the first hit; block low and use a full launch punisher like ws2.
- 0
Watch for Reina's f,F+2; while it is only -9 on block, it transitions to SEN where she can be interrupted if she chooses the empty transition.
