Anyone got any tips for handling orie's backdash? She just backdashes anytime she's near me and gets full screen. Lots of persona bubbles to set up offense then if it fails, back dash full screen and do it again. I dunno what to do other than full screen run grab randomly lol

236A/B/C. Super run grab has been getting some mileage as well.

Yeah I guess those are really the only options. 236A is hard to hit it on reaction, feel like you have to preempt it a bit, and if it gets blocked you get punished, but I guess its the same with run grab if they jump it. Atleast being able to threaten with both makes her have to think / react a bit more. 

Also I recognize your name, pretty sure I played you in ranked, although I was on Merkava at the time lol

If you're not confident in hitting her backdash, you could just go in on Orie by air assaulting or using 66c. Playing neutral with orie is a losing battle and getting her to the corner before she gets 100 meter is really important.

Any tips/notes against Merkava, Vatista, Hilda? I predict these to be Walds worst matchups, looking ahead.

I need help with Merkava as well, I feel like a complete idiot trying to fight against this character. Apart from walking forward and blocking/avoiding random 236A/B or attempting to assault over 236A on a good read, I don't know how to approach or even really pressure him at all. And is there anything I can reliably do to shut down his flight?

[Loli-Zero]

66C is amazing in this matchup. It beats a lot of stuff and stops him from mid screen flying to keep you out. It also beats his swoop clean. Assault 6C is also good to punish flying at certain ranges.

Reading 236 A and assault j.Bing to get in are important. Being able to stop him from holding up back and divekicking is important too once you get in, because this beats a lot of your offensive options and is surprisingly good.
