How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his chains

Sidestep his chains — dodge them and he has almost nothing on you.

Punish his dash

After he uses his first dash, hold him so he can't throw chains — combo him and run out.

Don't overstay

Combo and run out — trade your damage and leave rather than chasing.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never eat his chains for free — dodging them is the whole matchup.
