This is a small guide to help people out if they're interested in Zafina and would like an idea on how to approach learning her. This guide is mainly for letting you get your "feet wet" with the character. Feel free to message me if you have any questions pertaining to anything. Cheers!

*Additional Notes
- WR+3 (the running jumping mid kick) is advantage on block (around +6 or more)
- uf+1 is a +4 on block high poke, but is a little on the slow side (prefer f,f+2)
- The Scarecrow transitions: 3 (the high kick) & df+3 (the mid kick), look very similar to each other
- The Power Crush, b+3 forces crouch on the opponent's block
- Be careful with entering into stances on block when at disadvantage (it's generally harder to block)
- In general, Zafina can be a fairly unsafe character
- Tarantula's primary purpose is to scum opponents that don't know how to deal with a low profiled opponent =P
*Note that a lot of frame data is based off TTT2 Zafina, I apologize for any errors in this guide
