[+R] Sol vs. Baiken

[VR-Raiden]

Use this thread to discuss the vs. Baiken matchup in +R.

Much info from the the old matchup thread for AC is still relevant. It can be found here: Sol vs Baiken

I will be editing this first post with information on the matchup soon.

Match Start:

• -
  

Neutral:

• -
  

Offense:

• If Baiken blocks jump attacks from higher up, she has the option of using her P anti-air counter. Blocked j.P or any jump attack done low enough will be safe from the counter and you can punish it on block. Off any blocked air normal, you can cancel to VV to punish it, and RC if you have meter into a combo. Off blocked j.S/j.D, you can also double jump and air instant block the counter, then land and punish.
  
• 2D will go under the stab counter, so use it frequently if you expect her to go for it.
  
• Baiken likes to sit and block more than other characters due to her guard cancel counters. Use WT to discourage her from always relying on them. If you anticipate when Baiken is looking for a chance to counter out, it’s likely a chance to WT her.
