Punishing with Akira

    basically, i want to know how is it possible to punish after a dodge throw escape?

    for example, i dodge akira's sde with akira, but by the time i have imput the escape commands it is too late to punish as akira has already recovered frames from his dodged sde. thus rendering the dodge pointless as I would have been in the same position if i had just done a throw escape.

    any advise?

    Well, it's not useless since you just avoided mid/throw guessing game...assuming you were at a disadvantage. I guess that the trade off you have to make...you either play safe or go for damage. Your best bet is to try going for P,K after you evade throw escape. And keep in mind that you don't always have guaranteed damage after you dodge a move.
