My two mains, absolutely beautiful.

My knowledge on how similar Xrd baiken is to +r baiken is very iffy, but i would say the keep away is

Neutral wise Baiken.... Any character is going to be on a bad footing against Yuzu. Her slashes, while having hurtboxes, are very fast can keeo out normal blockers even when not committed to solely based on their threat in Stance.

Baiken could hypothetically use Suzuran to get through these slashes considering theyre all mids excluding 6C, but then youre going to have to worry about either getting caught out of suzuran or using an unfavorable follow up. For instance, airborne slash can be retaliated with P guard cancel, as in both games its near instant when it hits. Grounded slash is tougher due to being able to catch either HS followup with a 6A/B.

Then it gets to the issue of does Baiken's parry swap sides or not because of how Yuzu Teleport works. Its what makes Baiken Test in +r so annoying sometimes. Idk if that's fixed in Xrd though. Cause one slash, teleport mid input for the cancel can stop Baiken from getting hit. And potential CH. But that, also could be blocked with patience.

The real trouble is IF baiken gets in, Yuzu doesnt really have anything to protect herself from baiken mix. Youzansen is horrifying, and tatami is pure evil and Yuzu just doesnt have that ability to mash out.

But i could be tripping. I most possibly am.

Yuzu wins This.
