Natsu "Possession" (PO) Stance Discussion

SoNG-Of-SiLeNCe

Red Lotus
Like every tool, (PO) is useful and has its well-deserved place in Natsu's arsenal. It allows for mixups and mind games while keeping the opponent honest, offering options both offensive and defensive in several scenarios.
I'm of the belief that there are no good solutions only rules and possibilities. For this reason, I'm intending to break down this tool based on what all have been said in the various threads here and (PO)ssibly even find some new tricks with it. Or just organize knowledge already available, if there is nothing left to find.

So without any further ado

1. Possession transitions
1.a. Offensive Transitions (Setting up the op(PO)nent for (PO)werful assault)
1.b. Defensive Transitions (Dodging with (PO))
1.c. (PO)nishment options (No ponies included)
1.d. (PO)nishability and safety discussion (What to look out for and how to make it work)

2. Possession tools
2.a. Offensive uses ((PO)werplays)
2.b. Defensive uses (For your own (PO)tection)
2.c. (PO)nishment options (Natsu does have a (PO)nytail though.)
2.d. (PO)nishability and safety discussion

1.a. Offensive Transitions (Setting up the op(PO)nent for (PO)werful assault)
  • 6A+B4 to cover space. Steppable so spacing is an issue. Need to perform it properly and transition into PO:K if it doesn't hit full.
  • BB, BK, BKA is a 33/33/33 mixup to condition them to block standing. Once they no longer try to duck or punish BK4PO creates good further pressure.

1.b. Defensive Transitions (Dodging with (PO))
  • PO ducks several highs.

1.c. (PO)nishment options (No ponies included)
  • PO ~ A+B blows up heavy whiffs from slower opponents. Need to be in range.
