Yeah that's fair, but I wouldn't be going for footsies if I wasn't in range to at least force a block. That would just be poor spacing knowledge (not that I wouldn't do something like that, but we're talking about the matchup idealized, not my scrubby ass execution lol). If I'm in range to d2, then I'm in range to sweep/crowbar/throw teeth at you too, and I think that's the point where Raven starts to struggle.
I'd definitely agree that navigating her zoning is difficult, but what are you gonna do about Joker once he's in on you (real question, not being facetious)? Or are you just counting on the fact that her zoning and footsie tools are enough to never let Joker get close?
On a side note, it is kinda retarded that even when she trades on a lift, the player stays stuck in the animation of the move rather than just popping out. Kinda goofy looking
