While standing block punishment

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.

Duckable highs
