Char specific details:
Avoid using 236A in this match-up unless using it mid-combo with a Rapid Cancel. It can be poked out of with a 2A, 5A, or punished with a Distortion. If blocked, you be at a minus, leaving you open to an A move for at least 4k damage. Even on hit, it leaves you neutral, putting yourself up for Makoto pressure.
