    Is 6p Brad's best option against lp's? I'm having trouble punishing lp's.

    Is there a specific situation where you're being beaten by LP?

    Brad doesn't have a single move that beats LPs all the time, so you have to figure it out with frames.

    Adv | Situation | Attack to beat LP
    +2 | Brad's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif guard | (14f) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
    +4 | Brad's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif hit | (16f) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
    +5 | Brad's OM /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif hit | (17f) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif

    The attacks I've listed to beat the LP aren't exhaustive, but probably present the better choices for Brad because they allow for guaranteed damage afterwards on Counter Hit (if you're beating LP, then you'll get a CH). /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif gives you the guaranteed /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif for knockdown, or guessing game with ducking/slipping options. The next two are combo starters, so these are great ways for punishing LPs.

    Other attacks or setups include backdashing away to make the LP whiff, then punishing with a long range attack during recovery. Good long range punishing attacks for Brad include:

    /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif - guaranteed knockdown
    /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif - stagger for followup guessing game

    Again, this is not exhaustive. Mess around with Brad's attacks and if you find one with long range, and reasonably fast to execute, then chances are it's good for this simple back-dash tactic. For practice, go to Free Training, set the CPU to LP on guard, and try things like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif guard, back dash, attack. If your timing is right, you should hit the LP during it's recovery.

    The key is to understand when you have advantage enough to interrupt his low punch with fast mid moves. If he is succesfully spamming low punch after being hit by some of your moves you arent utilizing your advantage correctly. You can also opt to back dash into a bigger midhitting move. Such as for example backdash into /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif. Brad does have a lowpunch sabaki/reversal whichever it was from ducking, but using it reactively doesnt really work.

    Yo Myke, you mean P guard, not PK. Btw they way you wrote that; I really liked it. Might use that system on a Swedish site as it's very clear and easy to understand.
