Tips

Kuma's HBS.df+2 is a i15~16 mid launcher that is -17 on block; be ready to punish it heavily with a full combo launcher like ws2.
- 0
Use Electric Wind God Fist (f,n,d,df:2) to pressure Kuma, as it is +5 on block and provides a significant launch on hit for his large hitbox.
- 0
Kuma's db+4 low sweep is i21~22 and -23 on block; block low and punish with ws2 for a full Tornado combo.
- 0
Be cautious of Kuma's f,F+2 Demon Uppercut, a mid launcher that is i19~21 and -19 on block, making it a prime candidate for a long-range punish.
- 0
Devil Jin's b+4 Demon Steel Pedal is i17~18 and only -8 on block, making it a safe mid to check Kuma's low stances like HBS.
- 0
Kuma's Hunting Bear Stance (HBS) can be entered via moves like db+2; if he stays in HBS, watch for HBS.1+2 which is a i19~22 mid launcher but -15 on block.
- 0
If Kuma uses Pancake Press (u+3+4), he is +10 on block and transitions to SIT; do not press buttons immediately after blocking this move.
- 0
Use df+1 to check Kuma's movement; at i13 and -6 on block, it is a safe way to maintain pressure against his slower i15 df+1.
