i dunno, any truly good character should be able to apply some at least garnishing pressure. ivy should be no different. still, i agree about her defensive game, but she had to spam a lot of razor leaves in b+. being able to clank them, though, at melee speed, that can't be her main game. i think her grab range and move range will turn out to be her greatest strengths, especially the ones that lead into junk like bair and kinda fair.
and the nice leading nair that combos so well. and the uair/dair momentum shifters. ivy looks like a short sword wielder with heavy emphasis on mixups. or something
edit: that's too bad about the stream...oh well.
