10-0 Mitsuru always wins :P.

It's still Rock-Paper-Fatal to an extent; 5A/Coup beats 5B, Sweep beats 5A/Coup, and 5B Fatal Counters Sweep, but at least Sweep doesn't fatal anymore. Another thing that makes this matchup interesting is that fuzzy guard is very effective against Mitsuru's j.B "instant overhead" setups, but if you mess up and get SB Bufula you put yourself in fatal recovery.

Max range 5A loses some of its strength because you'll trade with each other frequently (which on netplay means the luckier player finishes the combo sometimes lol) and sweeping as a follow up from that range is asking to get fataled in crouching state. Because of this, I see many other Mitsurus do a lot of fullscreen D normals and try to call out dashes or button pressing with Tentarafoo; never assume you can just run up from full screen.

Also Sphinx I just want to say you're a saint lol.
