Akuma's Reversal	Punish Starter
623PP (OD Gou Shoryuken)	[2] Walk + 2HP Forced Knockdown, j.236PP ... Most grounded starters are inconsistent (e.g. 236K~LK loops) or do less damage due to Spraycan + j.236PP scaling After crouch blocking, can do max-height j.HK or Teleport~2MP for auto-timed Hit+Explosion setups that keep Akuma grounded
SA1	[1] nj.HP, 2HP* > 236K~LK, DR~2HP > 236K~LK ... [1] (Parry for meter), 5MP* > 236K~LK, DR~2HP > 236K~LK ... On Hit: Akuma gets punished by the explosion

CA Demon	Loses to meaty strike/throw, but be careful if blocking to bait other reversals A spraycan setup that leaves you +2~3 cannot walk back out of Demon range, but ones with better advantage (like after 236K~LK juggles) allow a shimmy that can jump out after the Super freeze
Drive Reversal (Wakeup)	Block, 5MP* > 236K~LK If D-Rev hits, opponent can block the spraycan
Drive Reversal (Blockstun)	Explosion* usually starts the punish If opponent does immediate D-Rev vs. light normals, can punish with 5MP* If Kimberly is knocked down early, immediate DR into 5HP/5MK > 236K~LK can juggle (no Back Rise)

Dhalsim

Kimberly vs. Dhalsim (53.91%)

Important Punishes:

• 2HK -

Safe Jump setups to watch for:

Spraycan Setup - Reversal Baits:

[#] - Drive Bars required
[*] - Where Spraycan Explosion occurs

Dhalsim's Reversal	Punish Starter
j.6KKK/4KKK (Air Teleport)	If used to escape meaty Throw, can punish on reaction with 2HP Forced Knockdown If Dhalsim switches sides, cancel into Run~Stop and then juggle 214HK to put him back in the corner
SA1	Dhalsim can use this if he predicts a Throw, but loses to meaty strikes. Example punishes: [2] 2HP > 236MP*, j.236PP -- (after Super freeze) [1] CH 2LP, 2MP, 5MP* > delay 236K~LK -- (if committed to meaty 2LP) [2] CH 2MP, 5HP > 236LP* -- (if committed to meaty 2MP) On Hit: Explosion* will hit Dhalsim near the end of recovery (no follow-up juggle)
SA2	[1] slight delay 2HP > 236LP*, DR~2HP > 236K~LK ... Can be safely baited by pressuring with a crouching normal; the DR momentum keeps her safe from the falling projectile If unsure about the timing, just use delayed Punish Counter Throw On Hit: Dhalsim can block the spraycan after releasing projectile
SA3	[1] 2HP* > delay 236K~LK, DR~2HP > 236K~LK ... [2] 2HP > 236LP*, j.236PP ... Kimberly can safely meaty with 2LP on setups with higher KD advantage (at least +4 after Spraycan)
Drive Reversal (Wakeup)	Block, 5MP* > 236K~LK If D-Rev hits, Dhalsim will still be hit by the explosion
Drive Reversal (Blockstun)	Explosion* starts the punish If Kimberly is knocked down, she cannot pick up a juggle afterward

Super vs. Super Interactions (after opponent's Super freeze):

May help avoid Chip K.O. from raw Super

Dhalsim's Super	Kimberly's Options
SA1	CH 2MP, 5HP at close range, or use SA1 if preferred Do not try to jump out in case Dhalsim used HP version of SA1
SA2	Use a crouching button to start a punish that avoids the downward projectile, or do a delayed Punish Counter Throw Kim SA3 wins cleanly, using the cinematic to dissipate the projectile
SA3	Kim Delayed SA1 wins (must know the proper timing; cannot react to the Super freeze ending) Safer escape: SA2 (+29 on whiff), then Dash + 5HP punish

[*] - Where Spraycan Explosion occurs

Ed's Reversal	Punish Starter
623PP (OD Psycho Uppercut)	[2] 5MP*, j.236PP ... Can also start with 5HP, but it requires reversal timing and the juggle is much more strict
Drive Reversal (Wakeup)	Block, 5MP* > 236K~LK If D-Rev hits, opponent can block the spraycan
Drive Reversal (Blockstun)	Explosion* usually starts the punish If opponent does immediate D-Rev vs. light normals, can punish with 5MP* If Kimberly is knocked down early, immediate DR into 5HP/5MK > 236K~LK can juggle (no Back Rise)

SA1:

• Instant j.236PP after spraycan explodes on Hit or Block

SA3:

• 1-Bar: Walk + 2HP > 236K~LK (explosion juggles)
• 2-Bar: 2HP > 236LP > (explosion), j.236PP

Super vs. Super Interactions (after opponent's Super freeze):

May help avoid Chip K.O. from raw Super

Ed's Super	Kimberly's Options
SA1	Kim should forward jump and land for a full 5HP punish Kim SA1 wins if preferred
SA2	Kim SA3 wins from ~1/3 screen or closer; if in range, CH 2MP, 5HP can interrupt Kim SA2 can punish raw activation at a specific range (about max 2MK range to ~1/3 screen)
SA3	Kim Delayed SA1 wins; can also whiff SA2 at close range, then 236K~MK punish At point blank, Kim can forward jump to avoid the attack (Ed's forward movement causes a side switch on the 1st active frame, and it cannot hit cross-up)

Drive Reversal (Wakeup)	Block, 5MP* > 236K~LK If D-Rev hits, opponent can block the spraycan
Drive Reversal (Blockstun)	Explosion* usually starts the punish If opponent does immediate D-Rev vs. light normals, can punish with 5MP* If Kimberly is knocked down early, immediate DR into 5HP/5MK > 236K~LK can juggle (no Back Rise)

SA1:

• 5MP > 236K~LK (explosion juggles)
  • 2HP starter can also work, but very finicky range (especially after Parry)

SA3	Kim SA1 whiffs under Guile (+18); can punish with 236K~MK or SA2 midscreen, or a full combo in the corner Kim SA3 also whiffs under Guile for an easier and stronger midscreen punish (only use if needed to secure a game win)

Kimberly vs. Jamie (48.87%)

Important Punishes:

• 2HK -
• 214PP + 2 Drinks - immediate DR~5HK, 5HK, 5MP punish
  • Must not back rise (don't hold DR input early)
  • Immediate SA1 or 236K~MK also works if no Drive meter

Safe Jump setups to watch for:

• Corner 623LK, DL2 236LK, or grounded 214HP

Spraycan Setup - Reversal Baits:

[#] - Drive Bars required
[*] - Where Spraycan Explosion occurs

Jamie's Reversal	Punish Starter
623KK (OD Arrow Kick)	[1] Dash + slight delay 2HP* > 236K~LK, DR~2HP > 236K~LK ... [2] 2HP > 236LP*, j.236PP ...
j.214K (Luminous Dive Kick)	Punishes Kimberly's Throw mixup; on hit, Jamie avoids the explosion Meterless one can usually be punished on block, but OD version is usually safe unless it whiffs over Kim
Drive Reversal (Wakeup)	Block, 5MP* > 236K~LK If D-Rev hits, opponent can block the spraycan
Drive Reversal (Blockstun)	Explosion* usually starts the punish If opponent does immediate D-Rev vs. light normals, can punish with 5MP* If Kimberly is knocked down early, immediate DR into 5HP/5MK > 236K~LK can juggle (no Back Rise)

SA1:

• BLOCK (no Parry), then standard 5HP punish (combo builds back more meter than is drained)
  • Parry causes the explosion to hit Jamie; in this case, juggle into immediate j.236PP
  • Parrying results in less overall damage and net Drive meter gain

SA3:

• 1-Bar: 5MP > 236K~LK (explosion juggles) into Drive Rush loops
• 2-Bar: PARRY, then 2HP > (explosion), j.236PP
  • Without Parry, the 2HP requires a very precise microwalk

j.MP > j.214K~K (Shiku-Sen~Shiren-sen)	Punishes Kimberly's Throw mixup and escapes the explosion Baiting a reversal with crouch block allows Kim to punish landing recovery on the opposite side
Drive Reversal (Wakeup)	Block, 5MP* > 236K~LK If D-Rev hits, opponent can block the spraycan
Drive Reversal (Blockstun)	Explosion* usually starts the punish If opponent does immediate D-Rev vs. light normals, can punish with 5MP* If Kimberly is knocked down early, immediate DR into 5HP/5MK > 236K~LK can juggle (no Back Rise)

SA1:

• Instant j.236PP after spraycan explodes
  • Be careful not to get hit during the slight gap in the middle of SA1
• On Hit: Juri is hit by explosion late in the animation (no follow-up juggle, Kimberly only takes 1100 damage)

Lily's Windclad 623LP/623PP have 4f startup, meaning she cannot be safe jumped with wind stocks. If you think the opponent knows this and will recognize your safe jump setups, you can instead empty jump to bait the reversal.

Careful when trying to anti-air Lily as she jumps out of the corner, as she can use Air SA2 after crossing up as a read against anti-airs

Lily can use 623PP or tiger knee Condor Dive against throw loops, so corner mixup should probably be weighted in favor of strikes

  • Optimal punish: Backdash x2 immediately after blocking first 2 hits, then LP Spraycan into immediate 2HP > 236MP > (explosion), j.236PP
  • "With Poise!" - voice line to help identify SA2
• SA3: can be jumped after the freeze; do not jump pre-emptively in case she used SA2 instead
