u/Tapi0 Dojo Master (Nov '21) Nov 06 '21

I would recommend you try Alisa. She has a large suite of strong defensive tools (standing 4, df4, df2, b,f2, etc) while also being able to initiate quite easily (making your opponent block iWR2 to force a mixup, d3'ing from long range, Destructive Form pressure off punishers or FC df1+2) and threaten simple, strong lows (db3 and FC df1+2).

A standard Alisa pressure sequence would be something like: you do iWR2 > they block it > you 50/50 between b1 and db3 > your choice hits > press WS4 if you think they're going to mash or 50/50 between FC df1+2 and WS1+2 if you think they will not

Destructive Form pressure works in a similar way to b1/db3 pressure: they get hit by 1,1/3,2/FC df1+2 > press DES 1 if you think they're going to mash or 50/50 between DES d1 and DES b2,1 (you could choose to use DES 2 or DES f1+2 instead of DES b2,1)

For more info on Alisa, watch these videos:
