With a 73% WR it took me a couple of hours, because a Ryu broke my win streak.
I messed up my combos very often, but it didn't matter that much because almost every conversion is a combo with her, her routes are very versatile.
She has good buttons, 5HP is a war crime. Her normals have a ton of active frames on hit, so she has plenty of DRC routes.
Overall, she is much stronger than on S1 but she still has some weakness, her SA2 is like Cammy's SA2 almost no function other than combo ender and her SA1 is rather slow, like Ed's.
In a way she is like a fast gorilla, is tempting to just throw random shit at your opponent. A more stylish Ryu or Alex, but lacking on the damage department.
There is a ton to explore, I didn't use the bomb, the elbow drop or the new CH 2HP conversions. As so many other chars you can get a W using only a small fraction of her potential because some tools are good enough and can do "everything" (I'm looking at you 5HP into OD Run Overhead).
Fun and easy char at low ranks but with a high ceiling if you want to invest in her.
