Tager vs Ragna: Lets shove a bar of soap down his naughty throat

[A.X.I.S.]

Ragna vs Tager a match up that has not changed since the beginning of time.

This match up is all about having proper defense, as long as you take your time and wait for a chance you can win.

 

Long range: you have the advantage(?) here with spark bolt, it is a threat to him.

 

Mid range: Use 5A/5B/3C/5C here, be wary about using 5D/2D because Ragna can react with ID or just evade it.

 

Counter pokes for Ragna: 5B/5C/5D/2D/j.C

 

Deadspike is something he can do but you can sledge or IB it to make it troublesome for him.

 

Close range: 

 

Offense: Play it how you normally would just keep in mind he can ID to get out.

Be careful about ending strings with 4D, IB gives him a 5A punish. 

In fact anything thats at least -3 can be IB and jabbed except for 5C. (5C pushes back far)

 

His offense:

 

His offense feels like it can go on forever but you can do a few things to deal with him.

 

jump ins can be beat with 2A/2C/5C and in a few cases 5C/AC will catch.

ground approach you don't really want to challenge his 5B but if the spacing isn't good you can fight it with 5A/5B. (tread cautiously with these)

 

6B and GH is a must on blocking, please learn to block these especially GH its a free punish if you block it.

 

BE just IB it, don't contest this move.

 

Blood Scythe is cute just backdash it or IB it.

 

Welp I'm done.
