what are squigly's matchups?
That kind of question is reeeally difficult to answer for a relatively new character in a relatively young fighting game with a relatively small community and a relatively recent balance patch, so everyone's going to give you different answers, especially when team composition comes into play.
That being said, in terms of 1-on-1, I tend to have trouble against Filia, Valentine, and Fortune.
Filia constantly harasses Squigly at a weird angle that Squigly can't effectively attack. Squigly can use 5MP preemptively to try and stop the instant airdashing, and can sometimes yoink Filia out of Gregor Samson with Silver Chord, but once Filia is in, she tends to stay in. Filia resets often with j.HP j.HK, so using Daisy Pusher as a reversal is liable to get stuffed, especially during crossover shenanigans, whereas Squigly has to worry constantly about Filia breaking out of pressure with Updo into Samson into full combo.
Valentine is a similar problem to Filia in that she spends most of her time zipping around back and forth in the air and generally being a nuisance to hit. Her aerial scalpel tension is a good reactionary countermeasure against charging and poking, and she likes to use Savage Bypass into Scalpels from outside of Squigly's poking range to fish for counterhits. Besides that, Squigly has to contend with frequent ambiguous crossover shenanigans, which she's ill-equipped to defend against.
Fortune is just... Fortune. She shares the constant pressure and accessible reversals thing with the other two with the added problem of having her head hanging around if Squigly ever thinks about doing something near the ground. For some reason, though, she doesn't seem as difficult to defend against as the other two, if only because she isn't as reliant on crossovers and is thus easier to use Daisy Pusher against.
As for the other girls, I'm hesitant to claim advantage / disadvantage against them, but here are my *current* opinions on them.
Peacock can prevent Squigly from zoning with her superior projectiles, but constantly has to worry about a full-screen jump-in j.HP into Battle Opera. You would think the constant Shadows and Air Georges would discourage this approach, but I still land this all the time against CiscoKid, who might be the best Peacock around. Getting charge is iffy, but having one before Peacock shows up means that you can reactively throw out a Center Stage against HP Bang! or the Georges and use the invulnerable frames of Battle Opera or Daisy Pusher to avoid the projectiles and start shenanigans against the character with the worst reversal options in the game.
Cerebella is hard to comment on because I haven't encountered any good ones, lately, and whenever TJGamer challenges me to a match I'm in the middle of something. So far, though, she's easy to keep out and a charged Silver Chord completely ruins Tumbling Run. Just don't throw around j.HP too often, because it CAN get grabbed by Excellabella or stuffed for a full combo into resets by Devil Horns. And then you'll just be embarassed.
Painwheel seems like she should be a bigger problem than I'm experiencing, but she suffers from the constant threat of Squigly doing Center Stage into Battle Opera. This leads to a rather tense matchup where Squigly and Painwheel spend a lot of time just staying the hell away from each other and fishing for the first hit that leads to the kill, but I think Squigly gets the leg-up in that regard because SBO can put Painwheel into blockstun at any moment, which will either lead to a free mixup because Painwheel's avoiding flying, or an instant combo because Painwheel was flying anyway.
Double -- who? No, I'm serious, after the Cat Heads nerf, I haven't seen a single competent Double anywhere. I'm not much of a theory fighter, either, so no comment.
Parasoul... I've heard some people say that Parasoul is Squigly's worst matchup because she can lock Squigly down with Tears and that she has a stronger lockdown / mixup game, but again, I've yet to match up my Squigs against a good Parasoul, so that's all hearsay at the moment.
And that's what I think so far. Just remember that 1-on-1 impressions don't hold too much water when teams come into play, so your mileage will vary greatly. Also, I haven't been rocking Squigly for nearly as long as the PC guys, so someone more experienced might come along and prove me wrong.
