LSK in neutral is good. Reflects projectiles that Banjo has to shield which gives free shield pressure, jump over which gives a free anti-air if he jumps aggressively, or hits. All of these lets Kazuya approach which is what he wants in the matchup. If LSK hits Banjo it combos into EWGF at 0 or starts juggles.
