Part Three Characters:

MILA:
- i10/i12/i14
- Poke in close range with PP~, P6P~, P6PK, PP6K/PP6K~Tackle Feint, PP2K 6P, 6PK, or 2P
- Poke at mid range with 4H+K, 4K or 3K (4K & 3K have tackle feint cancels)
- Get-in with 66K or 66P
- Whiff punish with 66K, 66P, 3H+K or 6P+K
- If you can get down the timing of the mount strikes to a "Just Frame", you can guarantee their follow-ups (it's ok to use the mount throw as an alternative since there's less opportunity for it to get broken)
- 7PPH is a decent tracking move to set up tackle feint mix-ups
- 1H+K~H can be use to create space and set up tackle feint shenanigans

MOMIJI:
- i10/i12/i12
- Poke with PP~/PP6K/PP4PP, PK 6P/6PK, 2P, or 6K~/6KP~ in close range
- Poke with 66P, 44K, H+K, 1P~, 2H+K (tip range safe) or 3KP from mid range
- Whiff punish with 66PP
- Try to avoid relying on the Amakake "Double Jump" stance, it can be a crutch easily against opponents with good defense
- If you're feeling gutsy, you can try to hit the Amakake~[P+K] super hit throw from long range if the opponent like to whiff alot (otherwise, it's guaranteed after 1T or the Low Kick Hold). On a full charge, you'll be at a fair amount of advantage on block too
- Momiji's movement is outstanding so make sure to abuse it

NiCO:
- i9/i11/i13
- Poke with PP~/PPP~/PPP[P]/PPP[P+K], PP2K, PP6P, 6PP~/6PPP~/6PPK/6PPP[P] or PPKK/PPK2K in close range
- Hi crush with 1P, 4H+K2K, 2H+K, 1K or 3H+KK
- Get-in with 66P, 6KK~ or 236P/236[P]
- Can poke from mid range 3KK/3K2K, 4K/4PK
- 66H+K is a sneaky jumping low
- Try to sneak in the 236T throw when you can: perform 236T~T, 6PPP, 6PPPP for decent damage + knockback or use 236T~2T if the throw connects on hi-counter

PHASE 4:
- i9/i11/i12
- Poke with PP~/PP2K, 6P, 2P or 1K in close range
- If you score a CH stun, follow-up with 4K/4K~P+K for a decent launcher combo or follow-up with 3P~P+K for a chifu teleport mix-up
- Use 66K~P+K, 66P/66PP~P+K to get-in from mid range, and use 3P+K~P or 9P~P+K from a little further out
- Poke with 3K, H+K or 6P from mid range
- 1PP~P+K is a great tracking low poke
- Take note that only 66K & 66PP can teleport on block
- 236T is great (you can perform 236T, 4P, 4K~P+K, Chifu~K~P+K, Air~T for simple damage)

BRAD WONG:
- i11/i14/i14
- Poke with PP~, 3K~/3KP~, or 1K~/1K2K~ in close range
- You can enter Laydown stance at the beginning of a round (R1F)
- Use Laydown to limit your opponent's options and potential frustrate impatient opponents
- Laydown can be entered while grounded also
- 44K is a great poke from mid range that leads into Laydown Feet Forward (LFT)
- To complement Running~P as a get-in move, use 66K, a great mid range low poke
- From Forward Handstand, Prioritize HS~K, HS~T then HS~P (a sneaky low)
- Brad's throw from Dokuritsu-Ho (Crane stance) is great
- 4P is a great hi-crushing evasive tool with a built-in sidestep in the form of 4P2/4P8. 4PP is also a great hi-crush launcher
- Don't challenge opponents on speed, use evasiveness & crushes instead (1K...)
- 6H+K is a great jumping low crush
- BT2P~ is really good
- A decent strategy is to try and connect Brad's BT~T (such as poking with BT2P (can enter BT stance with 44P) then input BT~T while BT'ed) then setting up annoying reset pressure
