General Strategies[]

  • Filia's j.MP is very effective for rushdown. This move, combined with air dashes, is very effective for rushdown & keeping pressure.
  • If the opponent is blocking the j.MP rushdown, then end the rushdown by doing j.HK. This will cause a cross-up on the opponent. Then use c.MK on the ground so that you can confuse the opponent as to where they should block.
  • c.MK pulls an opponent towards you if it lands. You can use this to your advantage by calling out an assist in order to either extend a combo, or get a mix-up with a grab.

Chains[]

Trivia[]

  • Gregor Samson is a reference to the short story "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka.
