- d+4,4 has a lot of pushback, so need to use a good range -15 punisher.
- FC.df+2,1 is only natural on CH and the extension (FC.df+2,1,4) can be interrupted by i11 attacks.
- Mid option from razor rush (f,n,1,2,1,2,4) loses to ssr vs most chars. After stepping, a whiff punisher needs some tracking to catch the stance transitions (f,n,1,2,1,2,4,u_d).
- Lei can't block during PHX, but he can transition to DRU to parry punches or challenge with a launching powercrush (PHX.2).
Wolf Rush
Wolf Rush is a strong CH tool that can be done from neutral (f,n,4,...) or Dragon (DRG.4,...). The 4th hit is guaranteed on CH for an easy hit confirm into a knockdown and damage roughly equal to a magic four.
Key aspects to defending vs it:
- The third attack (f,n,4,1,2) jails, so you can every time act as if he stops at the second without worrying about the string. It's only -1 though (and has a -3 TGR transition) so don't get too eager.
- The third attack is unsafe but has a non-jailing high extension, so there's a basic guess between going for the punish and ducking the high.
- The fourth attack can be a jailing mid (f,n,4,1,2,2) or a non-jailing high (f,n,4,1,2,3). The only attack not jailing is a high, so there's no reason not to duck if you're gonna wait, and so no reason to ever block the high.
- The fourth mid has a non-jailing low extension, so there's another basic guess between punish or duck.
- The fourth mid is -12 without a transition or -4 going into DRG. Lei can block highs or mids during DRG but can't exit the stance quickly or block lows, so generic d+4 is a guaranteed punish. If you want a stronger punish you've gotta guess right.
- The low after the fourth mid is -17 and Lei can't block or challenge from the stance transition, so it can be launched without a low parry (unless you're Steve).
