>>59099227There's the Drive Rush mechanic that you can use to put pressure on the opponent (the thing where you character turns green and starts dashing forward). Also Botan's character, Marisa, has surprisingly long range on her normal attacks so she needs to take advantage of that.
The thing is, it's okay to do jump ins, but if you keep on doing it all the time then your opponent will expect them and start AAing more and more.
And at the moment, Botan's gameplan almost completely revolves around "Jump and attempt a cross-up, if it hits: do your combo, repeat step 1".
