Mixups
Frame traps off 2A: - can loosely cancel/gatling into itself to frametrap like most other characters (can get four 2A's in a string) - can cancel to 236A(AB) as a 2F frametrap (safe on block) - can cancel to 236AC as a 1F frametrap (unsafe on block) - can cancel to 236C as a 6F frametrap that also catches jumps at closer ranges, though many characters can also punish at closer ranges. If blocked after far range 2A, it's hard to punish, but opponents can hop 236C on read from that range since its vertical hitbox doesn't go far forward. This is an odd special that creates many interactions.
Easy but slow tick throws: Close-range light, then 6214C Close-to mid-range light, then 6214BD blocked 2A or 5B into 236B/D (range based) or 236BD (tracks position) Jump A (whiffs vs crouch), 6214C (can't use faster grabs since the jump A grants a block pose and brief throw invulnerability to defender)
Fast tick throws: 2B~far 5A (whiff), 6214A. **2B~5A will get far 5A against a blocking opponent one pixel or more away. Won't reach if 2B or 5A hit. 2B~far 5A (whiff), lvl1 grab (more range, can catch opponents even if 2B hits as long as 5A whiffs if close enough) 2B~far 5A (whiff), lvl2 grab (even more range, can catch opponents even if 2B hits as long as 5A whiffs if close enough)
Empty jump when opponent is not challenging jumps then 1F or super grab, including after crossover empty jump.
Whiff hop A setup vs crouchers: Hop/jump A whiffs crouchers but grants brief throw invincibility to defender preventing the fast command throws from connecting right away upon landing. Can hard read with 6214C to counter players who reflexively use normal throw at point blank range since it is throw invul and forces the close C or D normal to come out. Opponents may cancel the throw attempt into something invincible or airborne to counter the armor grab though. If landing from whiff hop A outside of throw range, opponent is likely to block low in anticipation of an immediate low. A slower grab like 236B, 6214AC, or a super grab (or run up 6214A) may work well here.
Spacing mixup after knockdown (discovered by Amedo). If KoD is near opponent with time to spare after a knockdown, whiffing any of the following will move him back outside of normal throw range: cl.5A, cl.5B, cl.5C, cl.5D, 2C, 2D, 236A(AB). Can bait throws with this while taking the opportunity to attack. 2B is an easier meaty starter to space, but can use something stronger like 2C-6A to get 236C to land in the corner. 2C-4A is stronger but 4A is whiff punishable if the confirm is blocked low. This is universal; every character seems to have ways to create space by whiffing certain normals or specials.
