Tips
- 0
Steve relies heavily on b+1 for counter-hits; since this is a high, you can consistently crush it by entering AOP (d+1+2).
- 0
Steve's Sonic Fang (1+2) is -12 on block; use your i12 f+1+2 shoulder to punish it reliably.
- 0
Many of Steve's power moves like uf+2 and b+1 are -14 on block; use your f+1+2 (i12) or b+1+2 (i15) to punish these gaps.
- 0
Steve's d+2,1 string is -11 on block; use your i10 1,2 or i11 4 to interrupt his momentum.
- 0
Steve's low pokes like d+1 (-13) and db+3 (-13) are punishable by your ws4 (i11) or ws1,4 (i12).
- 0
Use your b+1 (i8 mid) to interrupt Steve's slower stance transitions, as it is one of the fastest mids in the game.
- 0
Steve's running 2 (f,f,F+2) is +6 on block; do not try to challenge him immediately after blocking this, as he has a significant frame advantage.
- 0
If Steve uses his f,F+2 Beat Down, it is -13 on block; punish him with your f+1+2 shoulder or f,F+3 (i14).
