Knockdown Advantage: All scenarios assume that opponent will Back Rise midscreen when possible, unless otherwise stated.

Knockdown	KD Adv.	Oki/Notes
Forward Throw	+19	Gives corner throw loops by walking forward with 16-17f manual timing Midscreen, oki is fairly weak even with Drive Rush (unless Punish HKD)
Back Throw	+27	After back throwing opponent into corner, walk/dash and manually time oki Midscreen, oki is fairly weak even with Drive Rush (unless Punish HKD)
Drive Impact (No Crumple)	+35	?
Drive Reversal	+23	?
2HP	HKD +27 HKD +49 (Punish)	On normal hit: +6 after Forward Dash for point blank oki On Punish Counter: +11 after Forward Dash x2, or +10 after 236MK for easy oki
SA3	HKD +30	Can Drive Rush full screen for a ranged meaty strike, but risky to attempt real oki Gives enough time to bait a reversal out of Drive Rush
CA	HKD +21	CA leaves A.K.I. closer, allowing better Drive Rush meaties (but still no true throw oki) DR~6HK trades with 4f normals (approx. +14 for a combo conversion, or +6 if blocked)
... > 236HP	KD +44	Sets up a safe jump. Just hold up forward and meaty with j.HP or j.2HP. You'll have to react to the opponent's recovery direction midscreen. Works on a grounded opponent, no Toxic Blossom (TB).
... > 236MP	KD +44	Another safe jump setup. Only works on a grounded opponent, no Toxic Blossom (TB).
... > 236HP TB, PDR 2MP > 236HP	KD +44	Safe jump setup for Toxic Blossom routes. As demonstrated with this example, 236HP can also setup a safe jump in a juggle if the opponent is at a specific height.
... > 236MP TB, PDR 5MP > 2PP~K, PDR 5MP > 236HP	KD +44	Safe jump setup for Toxic Blossom routes. You can end the combo early with PDR 5MP > 236HP instead of 2PP~K for a cheaper safe jump, but the extra damage and corner carry is usually worth one more bar of drive gauge.
... > 2PP~P TB > 5MP > 236HP	KD +44	Another safe jump setup. The 236MP TB route above can also work with 2PP~P TB.
... > 236PP TB > 5MP > 236HP	KD +44	Another safe jump setup. The 236MP TB route above can also work with 236PP TB.

Drive Rush

When canceling a normal into Drive Rush on block and following it up with another normal, there may be an interruptible gap in the blockstring. The following table lists these blockstring gaps when performed at the fastest possible timing.

Gap Value	Meaning
0	True Blockstring (no gap) if input with fastest button timing; can still lose to Drive Reversal
1 to 4	Small blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt with an invincible reversal; a 4f gap can trade with 4f normal attack
5+	Large blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt without an invincible attack
