Strategy Skarlet's NRD Game

[THTB]

I was watching Scar play Skarlet, and saw he was taking advantage of Skarlet's RD followups as threats to open up naked red dashing as a pressure option.

So I decided to check her frame data on a string cancelled into a naked red dash on block. This was done by subtracting the duration of RD from the blocked cancel advantage of the string. Here's some of her better strings for NRD (naked red dash). I basically just listed the ones that are -6 or better.

114 xx NRD: -6
2 xx NRD: -3
d4 xx NRD: -4
b2 xx NRD: -5
f2 xx NRD: -3
f21 xx NRD: -5
f2121+2 xx NRD: -4

It's honestly not too bad. Especially f2121+2 xx NRD. Yes, she's never neutral, but considering the RD followups, you won't always be poking out.

Just thoguht it would be good to know this.

Naked red dashes are hard to read because you have to respect the options if you don't want to take slides everytime
