Defense Summary

General Defense

Margaret's defensive options are rather poor with her slower ground buttons, lack of jump cancellable buttons on block, and a slow DP that is fatal recovery. Your main metered reversal (Power Slash) is excellent but it can be rolled, leaving you open for a punish. You should practice escaping other character's strings and getting your advantage back. Instant Blocking and Option Selects can help with this.

Universal Defensive Options

• Ultra Suplex (DP)

  • Grab DP that is techable and has Fatal Recovery. Use sparingly.

  • Can be used to enter awakening when opponent is distracted

• Guard Cancel Attack/Roll

  • Universal mechanic. Margaret's GC Attack is poor and has little use for costing 50 meter.

  • GC Roll can be used to escape in certain situations. Also costs 50 meter.
