What are your Clash strats?

[Gesture Required Ahead]

What's your take on Wager for different situations? Character and MU dependant?

(DS) As the defender, I normally wait for these 2 circumstances:
1) Lost at least 20% of health for the win to be worth it.
2)Have more meter than the opponent.

Then I will most of the time go for the 1-bar win or neutral if I only have 1 bar. Then depending on the MU I will almost always LowShots MB for the damage.

(DS) As the offender:

On matches that are fairly close, if I have more meter I mostly go for the 1-bar win or 1-bar loss while I keep at least 1 bar.

On matches that where I have a significant life lead or easy MUs, I mostly go for a 2-bar loss or not wager at all. Saving as much meter as possible.

On a losing match or hard MUs, I would go for as much damage as possible while saving 1 bar. But it's a rare oppurtunity.

Will edit later for other chars since something came up while I write this.

If I'm on the offensive I always try to keep at least one bar in case I need it to deal big damage, I only need the one hit and I can do 40-50 with Lobo easily. If lets say me and the opponent are both low on health that goes out the window, I want to keep my opponent from getting as much health as possible, all in.
If I'm on the defensive how much I spend depends on how much health I have and how much bar the opponent has. For example if the opponent only has one bar and I got 4 and I'm about half way trough my second bar and my opponent is at full second bar I think spending just two should be good enough. I get health, break the combo and have enough to b3MB if I need to or in the case of lets say Catwoman Cat Dash to the other side for a free combo.

I play wonder woman so I dont clash untill I absolutely need to or if its a character I may wanna run the clock on ill do it earlier than usual say with 30-40% life. If im running the clock ill use the advantage if its a clash in my favor to switch stances to sword for reduced chip damage and bf3 being killer for people getting over zealous about getting in. this along with shield toss and a parry allows me to control the pace.

If its their clash and I can get them low enough on life ill use it all and try to chip out with tiara. Best part is I can really test them if I keep a bar by delayed MBing the tiara for extra chip or the hopes that they get antsy and get hit by the return.
