Tips

  • 0

    Launch Kuma's f,F+2 (Demon Uppercut) with uf+4 or df+2, as it is a significant -19 on block.

  • 0

    Kuma's b+1 armor move is -13 on block; use your i13 4 (Hallux Kick) or f:b+2 for a guaranteed punish.

  • 0

    When Kuma enters SIT stance, watch for SIT.2; it is -12 on block, allowing for a 4,1 punish.

  • 0

    Kuma's db+4 low is extremely unsafe at -23; use your most powerful delayed hopkick or ws2 for a maximum damage launch.

  • 0

    Kuma's HBS.df+2 launcher is very risky at -17 on block; always launch it with Shaheen's df+2 or uf+4.

  • 0

    Use f+3 (Crescent Moon) to check Kuma's movement; it is only -5 on block and transitions to SNK stance for further pressure.

  • 0

    If Kuma uses 1,1,1 (G-Clef Cannon), the final hit is -16; punish it with a standing launcher like df+2.

  • 0

    Interrupt Kuma's f+1+2,1+2 string with a fast i10 move after the first hit, or punish the final hit at -14 on block.
