Let's talk Matchups:
Japan Team:
Kyo:
Even to slight in favor of either character. Oswald can keep Kyo out with well placed buttons and pokes, as well as punish Kyo's St.D on whiff with sweep fairly consistently. His Aragami is also punishable by sweep for big damage.
J.D is a good all around A2A against Kyo.
R.E.D. Kick is punishable for huge damage by Cl. D.
Queen (
) is not great for zoning against Kyo unless he's not paying attention to what Oswald is doing.
Defense is rough, but if you have meter, a lot of things are punishable by super.
Kyo's
is only punishable by
or climax
Beni:
Beni J.D dominates on the ground and in the air, Oswald can't punish
at all, Sweep is hard to punish on whiff. Good thing is that Beni has to deal with a lot of crap Oswald throws at him on offense, else this match-up would be annoying. Counter also helps against St.D and other situations, as well as
/
against SURASHU!
Daimon:
St. C, D, and CD are good in keeping him out. Cards are not good outside of oki because ground pound in neutral stuffs its slow start-up. Also ground pound beats St. CD for some odd reason even St. CD has low invul properties. Better to use Oswald's sweep to punish. QCB+K works against ground pound well too. Oswald can also set nasty IOHs into EX cards for gross confirms.
Yagami Team:
Iori:
J.D is good against A2aing Iori
Rekkas punishable with Cr.A
St.D on whiff punishable by Sweep.
Fireball strings HAVE to be punished by EX Twirl super, Regular Card Slash Super completely whiffs.
Mature:
2nd rekka punishable by Climax only
Counter works great against DP Pressure, can get a punish with Cr.A after, though it is tight.
QCF+K destroys her projectile offense from afar, making it somewhat pointless to use against him.
Vice:
Sleeve sucks due to his counter and if she uses it wrong or unsparingly, He can punish her for it. Forces her to play more aggressive with buttons, which he can contest fairly well. Not saying it's the worst MU for Vice, but it's definitely not in her favor in terms of neutral. His J.D covers a big angle against her, and reversal command grabbing him with EX Super is a bad idea due to his rekka cancels with one move being airborne. Her command grab offensive does shut down counter though. Also he"s really good at just throwing buttons out at her and it's hard to deal with. AAing her with St.A and B are consistent too.
