Birdie needs to turtle and Laura needs to get in.

You prolly gotta rely less on Birdie gimmicks with Laura. She's not gonna jump. She's gonna bulldog her way in. Go easy on the chain and v-skills when she has meter for an EX dash because that's all she needs to get in and when she does you dead.

You got one main advantage, tho: BUTTONS. Birdie's buttons are so much better than Laura's. If you win the footsie war and keep her out she won't be able to get in and put you in the mix-up grinder. Birdie ain't got no invincible reversals so you'll just die if you let her start shuffling the deck on you.
