CHARACTER INTRODUCTION
KUMA & PANDA
THE RAGING BEAST & XIAOYU'S BODYGUARD
​
Fairly versatile characters with a focus on defensive poking to set up their good punishment, while they also have great mix-ups from Hunting Bear Stance (HBS). However, their big bodies (hurtboxes) severely limit their mobility and defensive options, while also leaving them vulnerable to extended combos that wouldn’t work on most of the cast.
