not really it happens right away basically. (where the staff protects her) but like I posted in the Nu vs Litchi thread, the ability to move around the staff proves deadly. While she has her staff use those pokes! thats damage you dont have to fight for later. And you have to keep a calm head, dont worry about doing the bnb juggles yet, focus on the ground game first. 6D, 2C, 4C, 3D o.C all get alot of play in my book.
