Tips

  • 0

    Zafina's df+2 is a i16 mid launcher that is -12 on block; use your i12 punishers like df+4 or 2,d+3 to capitalize on the block.

  • 0

    Zafina's Scarecrow (SCR) stance power crush SCR.4 is -18 on block; you have ample time to launch her with df+2 or uf+3.

  • 0

    Use NSS.1+4 (Soul Stealer) to interrupt Zafina's close-range stance pressure, as it starts up in i8 and can launch her for a full combo.

  • 0

    Zafina's f,f+3 is +4 on block and transitions to SCR; do not press buttons immediately after blocking it unless you use an evasive move like b+3.

  • 0

    Zafina's f+2 is very unsafe at -18 on block; always punish this with a full launcher like df+2 or uf+3.
