I'm seeking the community's consensus regarding the Squigly vs Painwheel matchup (Hypothetical being a 1v1). I'm currently in a rut versus my PW sparring partner where his j. HP stuffs my j. HP if he predicts it, Seria Sing + SBO(MK+HK) can be blocked as long as he doesn't commit to a button in the air and, plainly, I feel like Squigly's neutral vs Painwheel is weaker due to the fact that Painwheel can stay in the air and choose when to start the mix-up (cross-up, same-side, armor through my normal, etc). I was looking to see if anyone had a solid strategy against PW. Atm, I feel like I have to concede and resort to using certain assists as counter-picks against her, but I'd love for someone to prove me wrong. Any feedback is appreciated, negative or otherwise
