I think High Tech vs Possessed is 5-5.

Possessed doesn't really keep characters out. You can run passed both bf3 and low demon for a full combo, push is okay but you can jump it and it has way more recovery than Balanced's push. Once High Tech gets in High Tech does her thing. It may be her best variation vs Possessed tbh.

I like shotgun better in this MU tbh. Doesn't rely on stamina for comobs (meaning you can use it to get in), and doesn't have the same neutral struggles against Kenshi that High Tech does.

When Kenshi uses d3/d4, jacqui can't poke back; she has to walk back and attempt to whiff punish a re-poke, or armour. High Tech's main issue in this MU is dealing with Kenshi's pokes and neutral. Possessed doesn't really keep her out at all.

I could see the matchup being 5-5, but I feel she struggles against possessed in much the same fashion as balanced, which I see as being 4-6.

Ayy I got tagged! What an honor. All I'll say for now is that Venomous and Brood Mother do better against High Tech than Swarm Queen for sure. d3/d4 gives High Tech enough trouble already but add in Brood Mother's zoning and Venomous' spray then neutral becomes that much more difficult. Reflecting krawler is almost pointless and spray is like a wall that can only be punished by bf1 at tip range.
