String handling
| KIN 1+2 and ff4 is -6 BT, so i12 mid OS for everything except spins (a punish if they hold b not f). On a spin read, you can f1+3 / f2+4 |
| grab, resulting in a back or side grab. |
| 2,1~b: -12 on cancel read. |
| df1,4 jails, you can always duck df1,2. |
| KIN2,1+2: Real string mixup. You can PC in between. |
| ub1+3 (unblockable long range sword stab): SSR seems inconsistent. Either walk or SSL. This also steps ub1+3~1+2. |
| ub1+2~1+2: You can actually react to yoshi turning his head for punishing both short and long version correctly. |
| DGF2: You can PC in between hits if they're really trying to mindgame with this, but loses to DGF3 / DGF3+4 / cancel -> block. |
Other notes
| Throw not a bad option agaisnt KIN. KIN3 will be airborne though. |
