ROUND START:

Offensive: Any clean B/C/D normal hit > OD immediately > combo > oki

   pros: 3-4.5k damage,
         25-30 meter gain,
         end with 3 burst,
         access to active flow burst regen to likely get a 2nd burst,
         guaranteed damage after OD,
         guaranteed(?) oki,
         corner carry and positioning
         (resource characters gain massive advantage)
   cons: no defensive burst
         no use of active flow damage boost (opponent almost dead anyway)
         highly crippled round 2 if round 1 does not last long enough to recover max burst

Defensive: in blockstring > OD RAID > React during pause > EA or fast button

   pros: punish unsafe blockstrings
         opponent must respect EA or give you 2k + active flow on hit
         EA safe on block, 50/50 for opponent but no risk for you
         active flow burst regen + damage buff value
         end with 3 burst instead of 0
         pause button
         potential free dmg and oki
   cons: no defensive burst
         safe strings probably blow this up
         EA unsafe if whiffed
         highly crippled round 2 if round 1 does not last long enough to recover max burst
         no access to active flow + EA 4k super

Defensive: get hit > burst asap

   pros: guaranteed momentum shift
         can hold burst until hit by strong starter or opponent spends 50 meter on RC
         active flow double value
   cons: predictable if always asap
         hard bait
         burst ends at 0
         probably only 1 burst per round
         late bursts probably don't get active flow value

Defensive: take first knockdown > wakeup OD > react

   pros: pause button
         active flow double value
         burst end at 3
         OD double length
         similar to OD RAID
   cons: raw OD slow?
         50/50 now less worth because you lose double OD length if they block EA

Neutral: round start > OD > play neutral
   pros: resource characters get double OD time to gain resource
         stray hit conversion is unburstable guaranteed dmg
         burst end at 3
         active flow double value
         long term dmg threat with resource gain
   cons: no combo threat
         no defensive burst
         inconsistent short term damage
