    Hi!

    Are there any techniques for defense in a large disadvantage (-20 frames and more)? For example, I am doing Akira's 466P+K and my attack is being blocked by opponent's guard which takes me to unfavor situation around -25 frames. Since fuzzy guard/evade are impossible in a such huge disadvantage then what options do I have?

    -10 disadvantage = Your opponent has a guaranteed throw opportunity
    -11 disadvantage = Characters with 11f attacks get guaranteed damage
    -12 and above disadvantage = Guaranteed damage for the whole cast

    At -25 disadvantage every character in the game can do their max punish launch combo. There is nothing you can do to escape it.

    Furthermore, here is a good thread detailing the defensive techniques in this game. If you're new, some of this might be a bit complicated, but it's still good knowledge to have.

    If [4][6][6][P][+][K] is being blocked by your opponent alot, I suggest that you use that move less. Otherwise you'll be too easy to defeat.
