Obviously you aren't going to only use two buttons. But they are are strong options to shutdown Cheetah's already poor neutral.
Cheetahs forces nearly every character to play differently, otherwise she will run over you but if you play the match-up well, its hard to her to find ways in (against a lot of characters) and she ends up needing to take risks to get in; her reward is big damage which is why she can be relevant especially in a best 3/5 setting.
In the end, I see no reason to play Cheetah at the highest level when Hellboy is on select screen.
