● Matchup Overview 👊
This is a clash of modern chaos against feudal discipline. Marco Rossi brings heavy machine gun pressure, explosive grenades, and raw military firepower. The Mars People add alien unpredictability with laser spam, teleport mix-ups, and screen control that disrupts rhythm. But standing against them are Hotaru and Washizuka — ninja warriors who move like shadows, strike like lightning, and punish recklessness with lethal precision. The key rule: Team Chaos must break their synergy early — if Hotaru and Washizuka lock down neutral with kunai zoning and command grabs, Marco’s slow mobility becomes fatal.

● Character Overview 🥋

Marco Rossi: The PF Squad Hero 🔫
● General Strengths in Matchup: Strong projectile game (machine gun + grenades), high damage output, and explosive super (Slug Launcher). Excels at mid-range dominance and chip pressure.
● Matchup Weakness: Slow walk speed and poor air mobility. Vulnerable to fast cross-ups and grounded pressure.

The Mars People: The Cosmic Trickster 👽
● General Strengths in Matchup: Laser projectiles, teleport mix-ups, and unorthodox movement. Creates confusion and punishes predictability.
● Matchup Weakness: Low health and damage. Struggles against strong anti-air and rushdown.

Hotaru Futaba: The Blossom Assassin 🌸
● General Strengths in Matchup: Fast kunai throws, agile movement, and deceptive low mix-ups. Excels at zoning and safe jump pressure.
● Matchup Weakness: Light defense. Vulnerable to armored moves and beam assists if overextended.

Washizuka Shōgorō: The Iron Ronin 🏯
● General Strengths in Matchup: Strong sword normals, command grab, and excellent anti-air. His grounded presence anchors team defense.
● Matchup Weakness: Slow recovery on heavy attacks. Struggles against fast aerial pressure and teleport mix-ups.
