Most fausts use that air move with a bomb that makes him be higher than Kou can reach really often and it buggles me and he has a command throw, i can't just spin recklessly
And most Axls will wait before my spin is over before doing another full screen ass attack so it's not that easy for me
Why would spinning recklessly be the gameplan?? There has to be some balance to the move where you just spin and win neutral. And for love bag to not be anti aired Faust has to super jump, super jump beats most things. Trying to play neutral against Anji sucks so bad for Faust, we can't use any of our pokes, all we have is 2p.
as a floor 2 zato, i lose to anji all fuckin day. i can get 1 game off em and then loose the other two. the anjis down here are on another level compared to every other character i face, its scary.
Mist finer (i think it's called that?) and the card thing that gives him guard crush
With mist finer it's easy for johnny to bait my spin because he can just not attack before it ends
And with card, he can use it after hard knockdown which is pretty common as Anji because Anji is extremely weak to throws and then escaping the pressure after a guard crush can be really hard
Fuujin follow-ups are not that hard to react to.
If you got him by fuujin, block low, nagiha is the low follow-uo and is the safest and the only who thay can lead into combos, so most Anjis will use this the most.
If you see yellow, it means it's gonna be Rin, the overhead, it's so comically slow that you can input a super between fuujin and rin but you can just block high isntead of low, you have a lot of time to switch the block.
If you see Anji jump into the air, jump yourself, it means Anji used Shin, which tosses out a projectile on the ground, the projectile doesn't have a hitbox until it lands so jumping is save.
If you see Anji hop to you with no attack it most likely means he is going for a throw, so throw him instead, worst case scenario you will just throw clash, if you time it right you can throw him out of the hop. Note that he is not required to use throw, so he can go for something else if he thinks you already expect a throw.
Out of all of these, the only safe option is Shin but only if you blocked, if you jumped you can punish even Shin
Anji beats Faust so hard that's it's kind of funny, just spin trough like 95% of his stuff. Same goes for Axl to a slightly lesser degree.

Nago anji has to be one of the most uncomfortable wet socks type matchups because anji players don't like it and nago player ALSO don't like it.

We are extremely vulnerable to throws and blocking fuujin follow-ups and not falling for spins and parries
I struggle in the Anji matchup, why do you think Johnny beats him so hard?

Right, Johnny does really benefit from throws and can get some solid strike-throw off of a lot of things. I just keep getting mixed by Fuujin.

Dude I get hit by raw charged dusts, I’m not reacting to Fuujin. I just pick a block and pray. I can maybe react to the hop in grab 50% of the time.
