Miary Zo — Matchups
Toughest
- Dragunov — Drag's `df+2` outpaces every Miary Zo i14 launcher and his short hitbox sneaks under her high-heavy `2,1` string. Documented hitbox issues hurt her further here. Block more.
- Nina — Nina's SS+4 launcher and i10 jabs blow up Miary Zo's slow `df+1+2` Heat Engager. She has no fast i11 mid to contest Nina's neutral.
- Jun — Jun's parry stance reads Miary Zo's repetitive high/mid mix easily and Genjitsu launches her recovery. Tough due to lack of tools.
- Reina — Sentai stance + EWGF dominate Miary Zo's neutral. Her own pokes lack priority — she trades unfavorably on every mid exchange.
- Feng — Shifting Clouds power-crushes Miary Zo's commits and Feng's universal parry erases her high game. Bottom-tier vs S-tier — expect to lose neutral.
Easiest
- Kuma — Even a D-tier character beats Kuma's hitbox. Miary Zo's `df+1` and `db+2` low both confirm against Kuma's slow defense.
- Panda — Same as Kuma — Miary Zo's mid pokes feed off the big hitbox. Wall carry routes work cleanly here.
- Fahkumram — D-tier mirror — both struggle, but Miary Zo's i14 launcher and slightly faster recovery give her the edge. Lab the matchup if you main her.
- Asuka — Asuka's parry stance does nothing vs Miary Zo's command grab options. Mix grab + `db+2` low for honest pressure.
- Lee — Hitman stance pokes lose to Miary Zo's longer range. Lee's mist step approach gets stuffed by her `2,1` outpoke.
Sidestep: Sidestep LEFT vs most right-handed strings, but be aware her sidestep recovery is below average — don't sidewalk at neutral against top-tier characters. Use stance options only on hard reads.
