STEVE COUNTERPLAY Looking at Steve’s hands indicates what ledge option he’s going to choose - when his hand on the ledge does not move, he will neutral getup/jump - when his hand on ledge readjusts, he will attack/roll (if he chooses attack, the sword will appear in the other)

There’s survival DI and combo DI and I feel like that’s pretty well established, but I think the secret third “positional” DI that’s designed to choose which disadvantage state you play after you’re done getting combo’d is where the real critical thought begins

If you aren’t SDI-ing moves/combos just to see what happens I URGE you to just try it out. Ultimate is held together with pre-used scotch tape and a lot of times one or two inputs either break a move or make your opponent uncomfy enough to drop whatever confirm they were doing

I will say, if we’re ACTUALLY considering banning this character, it is kinda time sensitive, because if we don’t ban them soon, it’ll be near impossible later on given many people will 1. Pick up Steve 2. Pick up a Steve CP (creating a sunk cost fallacy effect) 3. Quit
