pretty much sums it up, i was thinking if you just stand outside the doll at the tip of 5b or 2b range and hit on activation i woulndt recomend c attacks because they can be punished for trying to bait stuff. the only other plausible strategy i can think of is try to guard break carl when you get enough stars, hopefuly the pressure will make the carl player make more mistakes thus giving more( easier) openings to counter and punish
