Free Step Dodge

I think for me with Naotora is that she's all mid kicks and high kicks xD yeah it makes up a bulk of her kit, but her mid punches and lows are her mix ups in stun imo, especially since she doesnt benefit from the CB system either which makes her more a quick launcher since drawing out her critical stuns is super high risk vs just going for a launch xD

Hmm... For me it's that Ayane can't rushdown. Yeah you can't just run into someone's face and mash buttons, but she's really good at encouraging opponents to block due to how well she can blow up poor approaches. Once the opponent blocks, her mix-ups and strong throw game comes into play. You start hitting that 64T throw and the fun begins.
