Strategy
Cornered: Athena's EX teleport is her best tool to get out of the corner. You can time her command grab as soon as she crosses her opponent and do one of her corner combos. That's is why knowing Athena's corner combos that start from a grab is essential.
When opponent is cornered: I find ex teleport +command grab combo really nice in this situation.. Tou fast to react to and the best part is that when u cancel athenas ex teleport with any special move it doesnt require a drive bar
Command grab strategies mid screen
This is where athena's high jump comes into play. By doing command grab mid-screen you can set up the 2 following frame traps on wake up:
a) let your opponent hit the ground and hyper jump+B to cross up
b) hit your opponent with a psychoball before falling to the ground and hyper jump+D
Will add more later as I am figurring athena myself atm
