	Mike's standing hp, Dragon Breath, slide (when spaced properly), and well-timed Dynamite Bombers make this a really annoying matchup for Chrome Dome. A lot of times, it will feel like you're locked down with nothing to do. Contrary to what is normal when up against a zoner, NEVER jump at Mike unless you are 100% confident with a read, standing hp is far too polarizing to do otherwise. Forcing mistakes and capitalizing on them is an extremely important aspect of this match. Whiffed Rising Thunders are the biggest, as they can be round-ending. Most Mike players will opt to use light RT in neutral as it is far less punishable. The good thing about this is that Chrome's long limbs (namely cr.hk) make it easy to punish from most ranges. If a light RT is whiffed up close, you will have enough time to grab him and take the match, but don't get greedy. Crafty Mike players will notice this and have enough time to go into another RT, knowing you down and making you start all over again. For Dynamite Bomber (P2), you will need to anticipate them and have fast enough reaction times to see it coming. You can poke him out of it with far lp, and even EPD them on landing if you're feeling lucky. Far-standing heavy punch and Dragon Breath will definitely be where most of your problems come from. You can take advantage of greedy Mikes who like to throw it a lot by whiff punishing and closing the gap. Another smart thing you can do in this situation is shimmy by making the Mike think you're in range, walking back to make the button miss, then sweeping. With Dragon Breath, you have to be patient, as CD's jump is too slow to make any moves on reaction. You can neutral jump the fireballs to make them last longer on screen, and spark back. Keep in mind that sloppy Sparks will be "punished" with the Dragon Breath, as they fly right over, so always make sure to throw them early in order to force a reaction from Mike. Never get overwhelmed. This is a pretty hard match, but one or two good plays can end it quickly.		\|data=

	Funny matchup because in theory, it’s bad for BOTH Wingnut and Chrome Dome depending on who has the advantage. At its simplest, the matchup involves WN zoning. Chrome Dome struggles until he gets in, then he can end the round. Your game plan should be to bully your way in and STAY THERE. There are a couple of things Chrome Dome can do to make getting in a lot less miserable. The safest and most common option is to take to the skies and kick him in the face with a jump-forward heavy kick. This is a good option because it does two jobs at once. It moves you forward, and hits WN, granting damage. The problem with this option is that if you are read whatsoever and punished with a trade air-to-air, air-to-air, or anti-air, you have to start all over again. Use it when you’re confident. Dive kicking, jumping over off of a read, Chrome Sparking through, and walking under Moon Busters are important options for patient Chrome Dome players who want to capitalize on sloppy MBs. You get no damage, but you get closer to Wing Nut, which can be round-ending. Be sure to always watch where, and which MBs are being thrown. You can catch many habits and get good positioning whenever you do advance. Never try to forward jump a Moon Buster on reaction. You’ll get hit every time. When you are advantaged, continuously jump in on WN and prevent him from playing the game. There are some pretty nasty option selects you can use on him in this situation, but the best one is probably jumping hp into cr.hp XX EPD. If Wing nut blocks the string, you’ll get EPD for an unavoidable sequence. If he doesn’t block, you get the knockdown and will keep your turn.		\|Funny matchup because in theory, it’s bad for BOTH Wingnut and Chrome Dome depending on who has the advantage.

			\|caption=
			\|attack=VS Shredder

	Shredder's amazing normals and special moves can be a huge problem for Chrome Dome, so this matchup mostly revolves around working around and punishing them. Chrome Dome rarely gets the chance to jump in safely on Shredder because of Knee Crush, so this forces him to play a somewhat defensive game. The crazy thing about this though, is that a defensive Chrome Dome can be very problematic for Shredder. In neutral, you should utilize lp Chrome Sparks, as the slow movement makes it hard for Shredder to properly Aura Crusher through them on reaction. From there, it's just another one of those matches that involve making the opponent make mistakes and punishing said mistakes. As mentioned before, Chrome Spark in general is very important in this match. It can works as an anti- Aura Crusher move, but be prepared for Shredders to go through it with its invincibility frames. When you have this in mind, you will find out that you can sweep him out of the Crusher and put him back where he doesn't want to be. Against defensive Shredders who like to reflect your Sparks, remember that every time he does it and you read it, you can jump in for free damage. Despite this, unless you are really in need of extra damage, it is recommended that you stay where you are and throw another Spark to counter the reflection. Make sure to switch between light and heavy Chrome Spark to keep the Shredder guessing, but remember that he can do the same mind games on you. For instance, if you throw out a Chrome Spark, the Shredder reflects it, and then you throw out another one to nullify the first, Shredder ~~can~~ can hit you with Aura Crusher during its recovery and start bullying you. This "Rock, Paper, Scissors" aspect of the matchup is what evens it out. Play the smarter game, watch the ~~Shredders~~ habits, and play around them.		\|data=

	Power Drill is super plus, and most of the time you will get thrown for free, but don't worry! With immaculate timing (and a bit ~~off~~ luck) you can time an Electric Pile Driver after Raph recovers. Whether this is a true punish or not is up for debate, but it's almost unanimously agreed that it's worth trying just in case the Raph doesn't time the throw correctly.

	\|This is the rare matchup where Chrome Dome can start zoning immediately. The game plan is to play lame, zone War out, and force force him to approach. If War ever gets close, the game becomes "Who can beat who and get the game-changing read first". Most Wars will opt to try and use his standing heavy punch and heavy kick to poke you out when they get close. The best thing to do against this is to trade back with your couching heavy kick. It will lead to both of you being knocked over, but don't worry. War's options when he's in this situation are limited. If you ever knock War down, try your best to suffocate him and punish any and all of his attempts to play the game. When he's knocked over, he HAS to take damage no matter what. If he takes the hit, it will lead to a combo, if he reversal DFA's, he'll take damage from whatever jumping normal you used, if he blocks, free EPD. Remember that almost everything War can do in neutral is either punishable or easily countered by Chrome. Heavy and light turning uppercuts can be punished with Electric Pile Driver on block when done close enough. And even if the War does it far to make it safer, there's almost nothing he can do to capitalize on it. When you're zoning, It's your main opening to knock War down, and once you do, the match flips almost entirely in Chrome Dome's favor. War will get safe jumped on for the entirety of the match, and even if he does a reversal DFA to counter throw attempts, you can still just jump in on him again to start the process all over. Never give War any chances to play an annoying game with his pokes. Establish a life lead, play lame, and the match is over. Remember that if he's dizzied once, you can grab loop him to death.		\|This is the rare matchup where Chrome Dome can start zoning immediately.

	\|The main game plan in this matchup is to make Leo mess up and get unnecessarily aggressive. Try to establish a life lead before he can so you can make Leo come to you, not the other way around. There is almost no reason to get aggressive immediately at round start. Back up and try to analyze whether the Leo plays offensive or defensive. An offensive Leo is what you want. His awesome jumping heavy punch is indeed a threat for Chrome Dome, but if the Leo is just mindlessly jumping in with it, it becomes an opening. Anti-air with a late Chrome Spark and slowly build up his dizzy. If the Leo is dizzied once, the game is over. Grab loop him until death. Take advantage of Leo's somewhat mediocre DP by purposefully jumping outside of its range and baiting it when he's in the corner. On the topic of the corner, this is the main place Leo does not want to be. If you're playing against a defensive Leo, focus on pushing him there and baiting Roto Cutter as mentioned before. "Baiting" it involves safe jumping, and shimmying around. One blocked Cutter can be the round. This match seems easy at a very basic level, but good Leos will definitely be a challenge. Don't give him any chances.		\|The main game plan in this matchup is to make Leo mess up and get unnecessarily aggressive.

	\|Like a lot of Chrome's other matches, at round start, you want to try to back up and analyze the Raph. What you want is a defensive Raph who jumps back a lot so you can push him in the corner; a place where he doesn't want to be. Dealing with a defensive Raph can be fairly difficult, though. You can be somewhat aggresive, but make sure not to be so aggresive that you essentially kill yourself. Jumping heavy punch is a good normal for calling out some of his far anti-airs, and jumping light punch is a good normal for trading with Chest Buster if you make an incorrect jump-in. Never jump-in when you're close to Raph, his amazing cr.hp will beat almost everything you throw out. When you're that close, the goal is to pressure him into making a mistake. A small one being Power Drill, and a big one being Chest Buster. Since those two moves are an essential part of Raph's tool kit, a lot of the match involves working around these moves and baiting them to get the advantage. For Power Drill, the safest way to work around it is to neutral jump with a normal like j.lp. but you can also try jump back and try to get a punish which is slightly riskier. If you get a punish on Drill, try your best to close the gap on Raph to increase your chances of putting him in the corner. As mentioned above, blocked Power Drills can be punished with an EPD, but the timing is strict. For Chest Buster, in most scenarios you can simply punish it with a lp throw. This leads into the redizzy, which is the match. If the Raph is ever pushed to the corner, this is your chance to take the round. The plan is to continuously harass Raph and take advantage of his lack of safe reversal options. This involves doing jump back lp or nj.hks to call out Power Drill, cr.hp into Chrome Spark to keep him in block strings, and b.hp to punish his attempts to jump out. Remember that you need to be correctly spaced so Chest Buster will either be blocked, or whiff completely. Keep in mind that if Raph dizzies you from midscreen, he can punish you from the left side with his redizzy, so avoid that at all costs.		\|Like a lot of Chrome's other matches, at round start, you want to try to back up and analyze the Raph.

			\|This matchup is basically just a big game of "who wins neutral". Play patient and let the Chrome Dome come to you. Anti-air him every time and build up small damage this way. Capitalizing on the opponents mistakes is huge in this matchup; a big one is bad Chrome Sparks that allow you to jump in for a quick knock-down combo. Don't be afraid to utilize some of Chrome's grounded pokes to punish bad moves. A funny thing to note is that this is the only matchup where EDP can really be challenged, obviously because your opponent has access to the same move. When you go in for okis, make sure to poke around outside of its range with your longer normals. Keep this knowledge in mind for when you're in disadvantaged states, too. If the opponent ever tries to do EPD setups, you can steal their turn and counter with you own. The match becomes a mess when both Chrome Domes are fighting for EPD, so always change it up a little by taking advantage of Chrome Sparks invincibility, and fighting for the life lead so you can start zoning safely again.

			\|Like a lot of Chrome's other matches, at round start, you want to try to back up and analyze the Raph. What you want is a defensive Raph who jumps back a lot so you can push him in the corner; a place where he doesn't want to be. Dealing with a defensive Raph can be fairly difficult, though. You can be somewhat aggresive, but make sure not to be so aggresive that you essentially kill yourself. Jumping heavy punch is a good normal for calling out some of his far anti-airs, and jumping light punch is a good normal for trading with Chest Buster if you make an incorrect jump-in. Never jump-in when you're close to Raph, his amazing cr.hp will beat almost everything you throw out. When you're that close, the goal is to pressure him into making a mistake. A small one being Power Drill, and a big one being Chest Buster. Since those two moves are an essential part of Raph's tool kit, a lot of the match involves working around these moves and baiting them to get the advantage. For Power Drill, the safest way to work around it is to neutral jump with a normal like j.lp. but you can also try jump back and try to get a punish which is slightly riskier. If you get a punish on Drill, try your best to close the gap on Raph to increase your chances of putting him in the corner. As mentioned above, blocked Power Drills can be punished with an EPD, but the timing is strict. For Chest Buster, in most scenarios you can simply punish it with a lp throw. This leads into the redizzy, which is the match. If the Raph is ever pushed to the corner, this is your chance to take the round. The plan is to continuously harass Raph and take advantage of his lack of safe reversal options. This involves doing jump back lp or nj.hks to call out Power Drill, cr.hp into Chrome Spark to keep him in block strings, and b.hp to punish his attempts to jump out. Remember that you need to be correctly spaced so Chest Buster will either be blocked, or whiff completely. Keep in mind that if Raph dizzies you from midscreen, he can punish you from the left side with his redizzy, so avoid that at all costs.

Because of its fantastic priority and invincibility, you have to play around it and be patient. You want to do this while also not allowing her to get too close and start her shenanigans. If you do get a knock-down, try not to pressure her too much. Try and analyze how the Aska uses their DP. If they're greedy with them, bait it and go for a punish. If they respect your advances and let you jump in, take advantage of that and proceed to pressure her. Chrome Dome excels in the middle screen in this matchup because of his good pokes.
