Use Flash (1+4) to interrupt Panda's G-Clef Cannon (1,1,1) if she finishes the string, as the second and third hits are -15 and -16 respectively.
- 0
Panda's db+4 Spinning Kuma is a slow i21 low that is -23 on block; block it low and use a delayed hopkick or your ws2,1 for a full launch.
- 0
Panda's Heat Smash (H.2+3) is i15 and +9 on block; if you block it, you must respect her follow-up pressure as she has a massive frame advantage.

Panda's b+1 Bear Slash is a power crush that starts at frame 7; avoid using slow, predictable highs that she can absorb and counter for a knockdown.
- 0
In No Sword Stance (NSS), your 1+4 Soul Stealer becomes i8, making it even more effective at punishing Panda's mid-range pokes that leave her slightly negative.
