block button, for starters (the actual block one to defend yourself in-game), this already invalidates most of what he does
so for general tips on his moves:
- U rekka, PLUS ON BLOCK, do not mash. all the other ones are minus but if he continues them he frametraps you, kinda like Djeeta
- U fireball, if you block it and you get slowed down then yes you have to guess, ironically reversals are not THAT bad to use here because the slow also increases your invulnerability frames. but in general? just take the throw and move on
- his spastic dashing: never tech a lancelot. take the throws or delay 2L or fuzzy mash or whatever else to be able to react to his dashing
his dashes can be all mashed on, they're not a threat unless you commit into slow moves obviously (like teching)
-when near a corner, he can get stuck on the wall and jump away or bait your anti air, every time you're next to a corner be always aware this is an option he has. if you do you should be able to fuck him for it as he cannot just drop from the wall normally as he's forced to commit to the walljump
- his f.L is not a proximity based one, like Narmaya and Versusia, keep your pressure tight or he'll mash on you
setups/gameplay:
one particular interesting setup I've seen Lancelots use after a knockdown is H fireball into H teleport on you (his DP). just like his DP, the U air teleport, the second hit is an overhead and cannot be blocked in air, so if you attempt to jump his H fireball you'll get caught by it. probably catches rolling too. solution is to just take it and block both, otherwise you eat a fullcombo. in neutral you'd be able to catch him in air but not after a knockdown
if you character has good jump options like extremely good jumping buttons, speed, air stalls, they're good against lancelot as he probably has the worst 2H in the entire game, super slow, 0 range and only hits in front of him. his other buttons are not that good for anti airing either
common mixup he does is air dash into ground dash really fast for a overhead/low mixup, you gotta practice it and lab it. it's not hard to block but requires practice
he has dogshit defense so BC into pressuring him should fuck him over really hard
overall he looks scary but he's kinda of a jobber
