Tips
- 0
If Shaheen uses b+4 to catch your movement, punish it heavily as it is -15 on block.
- 0
Use HBS.d+1+2 (Frolicking Bear) to pressure Shaheen; it is only -3 on block and grants a Tornado launch on Counter Hit.
- 0
Be wary of Shaheen's SNK.4 low from stance; it is i20~22 and leaves him at -14 on block, allowing a ws2 launch punish.
- 0
Kuma's f,f,F+1+2 (Rabid Bear) is a great approach tool that is +3 on block and transitions into Heat Dash for massive pressure.
- 0
Interrupt Shaheen's SNK.3 (Hunting Falcon Dive) if you block it, as it is -12 and punishable by your i10 jab strings.
- 0
Use db+4 (Spinning Kuma) carefully; while it crushes highs, it is -23 on block and will lead to a maximum punish if blocked.
