Punish Law's common mid-range pokes like 3+4 or df+3 with 1+2 (i13), which is a Heat Engager and deals significant damage.
- 0
Law's Dragon's Tail (db+4) is extremely slow at i26 and -37 on block; block low and use your most powerful launcher for a full combo.
- 0
Use df+2,1 as a long-range i15 punisher against Law's whiffs, but be careful as it is -16 on block if he defends it.
- 0
Kuma's HBS.df+2 is an i15 mid launcher from stance that can catch Law trying to press buttons, but it is very unsafe at -17 on block.
- 0
Law's slide (FC.df,d,df+3) is -23 on block; use a delayed hopkick or a powerful ws move like ws2 (i15) to punish.
- 0
Interrupt Law's DSS transitions if he uses moves like 4,3 or b+1, as his pressure often relies on these transitions which can be checked with a quick jab (i10).
- 0
Watch for Law's Dragon Hammer (f+1+2); it is +3c on block, meaning you should not press buttons immediately after blocking it.
