Matchups

Vs Clark

Japan's best Clark player Rock considers this matchup in the advantage of Clark, as a 6.5:3.5. Rock's (translated) analysis:
"Clark's attacks in air, particularly j.D, are so strong that Ralf is forced to fight on the ground, where Clark's 2C dominates.
In neutral, Clark should try keep Ralf at the distance where 2C just hits the pokes of Ralf. If Ralf uses 5C(f) & 2C in neutral, they lose to Clark's 2C in this way.
Clark's 2D is also strong against Ralf since it evades many of his attacks, and because 2D has long active time.
The only real danger for Clark is Ralf's 5E~Kara Upper. Clark can try to stop it during startup with 2B. After the 2B hits, clark can immediately use a 2C, which cannot be interrupted by Ralf, and which also resets the neutral again."

Vs Kula

Hard matchup.

Cancel 623P is punishable on block by Kula's 623C, so make sure to always hit confirm it.

Using and hit confirming 2C appears to be key, just like using 5E & 5C(f) on max range.

Vs Gato

Hard matchup.

Smalljump j.B goes over Gato's wakeup 236236A & then still combos into 5C>Upper.

Vs Silber

As okizeme, 5E > command throw (on reaction) can be used against Silber's wakeup super counter, as seen at g-stage by Rock.

vs Kim

5C(c) beats kim upkick super, as done by shishio, needs confirmation whether this needs an input before the freeze or during.
