General Tactics
Sin's gameplan is to control lots of space with his big/fast normals, and punish the opponents with big damage when they get impatient and run into your attacks.
Once the opponent is scared to attack, get in and do blockstrings to raise their RISC gauge, after which any hit (including a throw) can lead to massive damage.
Calories
Sin relies on most of his specials to continue pressure or to use his long range tools like Beak Driver. However, these tools cost Calories, and thus need to be managed. Scoring a knockdown is the primary means for Sin to safely regain calories by using the special move “still growing”. Depending on the combo ender it may be possible to eat and still continue pressure, but generally the player must choose either between calories or a good okizeme setup.

Tips and Tricks
Fighting Sin
Sin is reliant on his Calorie gauge to do most of his specials, which he uses often in his zoning and pressure setups. When he is low on Calories, his options are limited, making it a time to approach him.
