- 0
Kuma's HBS.df+2 is a fast i15 launcher from stance but is -17 on block; be ready to launch him if he commits to it.
- 0
Many of Kuma's low options like db+4 or f+3+4 are extremely unsafe (-23 on block); block them and use ws2,3 for a guaranteed tornado combo.
- 0
Kuma's b+1 power crush is -13 on block; if you block it, use 1,3:3 or f+1+2 to punish his attempt to armor through your pressure.
- 0
Use HMS.2 to evade Kuma's high pokes; the backsway motion can make his i10 jabs whiff, allowing you to hit him for a +39a launcher.
