A little late to the game on this one. So for neutral game you want to play somewhere between just outside of his max range and LC punish range. So long as you're close enough, you can punish all zoning with LC, so that's not a factor in this MU. AM out ranges us so we need to be cautious getting in. For AM's pressure, you need to be able to identify whether he is going to go low or overhead off of F1 on his pseudo 50/50. Know that he's + on B2 but - on B21(you can D2 check follow up pressure after blocking B21), and - on all of his overhead strings. You can back dash his pressure on block if you want to make space but if he forward dashes with you, or goes overhead for the range he can punish, so be mindful with reads. Trident rush can be punished with FU, and so long as they don't back dash you can get a B22 off. Scoop can be punished with B2. B22F3 will whiff if he crouched, so that's a bust, and sometimes B22 will whiff, but not consistently. The main struggle with this MU is playing around AM's trait, and so long as it is up, no MB kicks as it is full combo punishable, and will be favoring SP. AM effectively can get out of two different combos during one uptime if opened up quick enough in succession. So you have to plan on opening him up at least once before spending meter. A good way to learn how to do this is by going for your pseudo, meterless vortex initially and as you get more MU experience you will find ways to work around it. On HKD he is your bitch, and you can stuff all of his wake ups, so learn how and go HAM. Oh, and don't jump against the King of the D2. I'd say 5-5 again, but its an easier fight for AM. An argument could be made for 4-6, possibly.
