Mature is an interesting mix between a zoner and a close range pressure character. Her main attraction is Ebony Tears, her big projectile. It's slow to come out but it recovers fast and travels slow so Mature can either choose to go in behind it to set up offense or wait for the opponents response to it if she wants to be defensive. She has a lot of moves that moves her forward so she can be close to the opponent. Her best tools up close are her good low hitconfirms and her j.B which can be hard to block as it hits twice in the air. She's also got some good specials for dealing chip damage and ending her blockstrings safely. Her weaknesses include a lack of strong mixups outside of j.B and a lack of a meterless invul reversal.
