1+2 Charge Cancel
1+2 (hold 16-34f) > f~u~b (release 1+2)
Useful for baiting big keepout attacks or locking down defensive players.
Can be used throughout a set to condition opponents. If they begin to challenge the 1+2 cancel, release a level 2 charge for 42 CH damage (48 with Heat) and huge knockback, or cancel into SWA with b to evade and punish their attack.
1+2 charge cannot be canceled before frame 16 or after frame 35, so use with caution.

d,df~d,df~u > repeat
Quickly cancel crouch dash into Deep Dive with df, crouch cancel Deep Dive with u, and repeat for Paul's pseudo-wavedash/snake dash.
Good for oki (DPD will realign and chase down techs to either side) and quick ws1,2/DPD.4 mid-range pressure (high evasion from CD/DPD can create whiffs against some keepout buttons).
Be aware of Deep Dive's startup delay and input lockout, which can cause unintentional jumps if crouch cancels are executed too quickly.

Forward jumping against a backturned opponent in Tornado state can force tech attempts to recover backturned.
