    Um, attack when you have the advantage, block or evade when you're at disadvantage? Doesn't get much more basic than that.

    For low punches it's essentially the same thing. If you know it's coming you can get big damage with 2P+K+G. 9P+K also jumps over low punches.

    Well, it kinda depends on what character you are playing, right? :D

    yeah its for goh, sorry if the question sounded stupid, but it always ends up into a poke fest where i cant seem to control the fight and luck seems to determine the winner, thanks for the low punch punishers ill practice them, also one more question whats the best guaranteed option after a low parry?

    With Lion don't be too afraid of his lows. The ones to watch out for are the punh that sideturns you and the knockdowns like his full circular sweep you could block them on reaction but online it's tougher. I used to make my lion matchup a lot harder than it had to be by worrying too much about those lows.

    Outside of both characters' [1][K], they're really not. You just apply the same rules you would against every other character. Online everyone gets away with murder. Offline, slow lows get blocked and punished.

    If you're using Goh, remember that you can punish Lion's sweeps with [3][K][P] into the usual combo.

    I mean like shun and his 1KK beats 9p+k quite often with the 2nd hit. At lest from my experience

    The answer to beating low attacks is not to jump them. it never has been and i doubt it ever will be. Block and punish. Always.

    The reason [1][K][K] can be problematic is because it's so fast. If you're trying to beat it or other lows with jumping attacks you're doing it wrong.

    Watch out for Lion and his 1, K (d/b, K). It's launch punishable .

    For 2P remember to BUFFER Goh's Elbow. If it Counters they are spamming it, in general. It puts them in a Two Choice situation so apply appropriate pressure. If its them, not on CH then play the poke games back. That's the universal way to deal with it. Combine that with Goh's specific moves and setups and you can get some buff damage and setups.

    I pretty much mentioned 9P+K and the parry just because they happen to be there.

    As for the question of Gohs lowparry: parrying a low punch gets you a guaranteed 1P+K launch. Parrying a low kick you can either 6K+G or dash 1P+K.

    (The low punch parry part is not true if you're parrying from -9 or worse but then again, why would you).

    Blocking and using your advantage afterwards is the basic. If your opponent is just pressing buttons then feel free to 6K them after a blocked low punch.

    And in case you didn't know about it yet. Here's framedata for the game.

    I love 6K's after my opponent 2P's... most of the players I play think that every damn time they 2P that it's a hit and that I don't predict that stuff. Puts a smile on my face knowing that I was right. (Also hearing them yell after I do a massive damage combo)
