Lau's stagger throw fun

    What are some good followups for Lau's [4][2]+[P]+[G] stagger throw? I usually follow with [4][6]+[P] because few people I play against can struggle out in time to block it. Any other suggestions? Can't seem to find any literature on this topic.

    Actually, if the opponent doesn't struggle at all, then the fastest [4][6][P] will miss (whiff over their head). If you anticipate that they won't struggle, then you either need to delay the [4][6][P], or even better, use a slower and more rewarding attack like [3][P]+[K].

    In terms of guessing games, alternate between [4][6][P] (for those who try to struggle but not fast enough), a mid attack (for those who don't struggle, or struggle quickly and try to attack), and a throw (for those you struggle quickly and hold guard). That's keeping it simple, but is a place to start.

    Also, a good alternative, but lower immediate reward is a sweep. Since it will beat opponents who struggle fast and guard, or attack back in anticipation to beat the throw attempt.

    you can also do [3]+[P],[P],[K]
    but [4][6]+[P] is way harder to scape
