Notable Interactions

ShitsuGuardAllStartup29RecoveryTotal 52Advantage-6

Since the projectile has a very long startup and a lot of recovery, it is possible to low profile the move with Elk HuntGuardLowStartup21Recovery15Advantage-8 on reaction. Best case scenario, Sin will get a CH, otherwise Anji will be forced to block.

Spin is the biggest problem in the matchup, as Sin has a lot of slow buttons that struggle to hit it's startup. MidareGuardAllStartup7Recovery30Advantage+11 makes Sin's aerial buttons such as IABD j.HGuardHighStartup11Recovery26Advantage+3 (IAD) equally as dangerous as grounded options. The Spin makes the roundstart tricky, where it's best to backdash or block because it's rather easy to react with 2KGuardLowStartup6Recovery11Advantage-2 or ThrowGuardStartup2Recovery38Advantage-.

All followup options are punishable if Anji has bad spacing or if one of the moves is IB'd.

Neutral

Neutral must be played very patiently because of the spin, often defensively using 2SGuardAllStartup12Recovery13Advantage-5, f.SGuardAllStartup11Recovery19Advantage-8, and IABD j.HGuardHighStartup11Recovery26Advantage+3 (IAD).

Beak DriverGuardAllStartup16Recovery22Advantage-14 is also very sensitive to SpinGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 34~50Advantage- as it can punish Beak Driver from any range. Be careful of Anji's f.SGuardAllStartup11Recovery21Advantage-9 which outranges Sin's 2SGuardAllStartup12Recovery13Advantage-5.

Sin's f.SGuardAllStartup11Recovery19Advantage-8 remains the best option in terms of distance to manage neutral, but be careful not to overuse it as it is weak on spin.

Offense

Anji does not have a normal in 4f or meterless reversal, but has a metered ParryGuardStartup1Recovery10Advantage-, which can still be beaten by ThrowGuardStartup2Recovery38Advantage-. It lasts 30f, and thus is not possible to bait with a delayed meaty or j.DGuardHighStartup28Recovery16Advantage-3 at best.

Safe Jump post wall break is OK if Anji does not have meter.

On the other hand, Anji's 2PGuardAllStartup5Recovery10Advantage-2 can trade against Elk HuntGuardLowStartup21Recovery15Advantage-8 and Hoof StompGuardHighStartup21Recovery22Advantage-11 after 2H on block.

Defense

Anji's okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups. can be scary with ShitsuGuardAllStartup29RecoveryTotal 52Advantage-6 as it can offer him safe mixups, but Sin can use Hawk BakerGuardAllStartup9Recovery36Advantage-26 against some of them to steal back his turn.

Anji's 2D is -11 on block, meaning it can be punished with Hawk BakerGuardAllStartup9Recovery36Advantage-26 if close enough.
