Clive Rosfield — Matchups

Toughest

• Dragunov — Drag's `df+2` outpaces Clive's `1,1` neutral and his wr+2 homing eats Clive's sidestep. Clive's below-par neutral falls apart against S-tier pressure.
• Reina — Sentai launcher catches Clive's commit whiffs and EWGF beats his startup. Clive's PHX stance recovery is too slow vs Reina's plus oki.
• Nina — Nina's SS+4 launches Clive's PHX whiffs and i10 jabs interrupt every stance entry. Clive lacks the speed to contest Nina's neutral.
• Jun — Jun's parry reads Clive's high-mid Eikon mix easily and Genjitsu launcher catches recovery. Tough Heat-pressure matchup.
• Feng — Shifting Clouds power-crushes Clive's commits and Feng's parry erases his high game. Honest range war Clive loses.

Easiest

• Kuma — Clive's `u+1+2,2,1` Eikon launcher and PHX stance pressure dominate Kuma's slow defense. Eikon Heat smash carries to wall easily.
• Asuka — Asuka's parry stance can't read Clive's stance switches. PHX `2+3` Heat smash forces her into guess-state.
• King — Clive's range evades ff+1+2 tracking grab. His `df+2` launcher whiff-punishes King's lumbering ff+ approach cleanly.
• Paul — Deathfist whiffs against Clive's sidewalk. Eikon mix punishes Paul's commits — `u+1+2` is his Heat engager.
• Steve — Steve has no lows — Clive stands and Eikon-mixes. His `db+3` low cracks Steve's sway stance.

Sidestep: Clive sidesteps LEFT vs most chars — Eikon flame attacks favor LEFT side punish angles. Vs Mishimas, just block; Clive's neutral is too slow for whiff punish. Vs grapplers, sidestep into block then PHX retaliate.
