5LP, 5LK xx 236KK (, whiff 6HK kara 623LK/623MK)	130	253	1	1 bar oki combo and setup on crouching opponent. The whiffed knees afterwards can lead to a left-right mixup, or just sideswitch while maintaining frame advantage. Whether it will sideswitch or not is dependent on spacing, if the opponent quick or backrises, and which strength knee is whiffed.
