    Great vid I actually went back to evo recently to see what I can do to better my pai in the last few days. I may have to take a second look at it now and do it again. I actually do the 4P,4K+G combo like the training demonstrates because of it as one example. The funny thing about the low throw after a jab anyone with a low throw can do it including Aoi, Wolf, El Blaze, Jeffrey, Vanessa, etc. It makes me wonder why better players don't take advantage of it more often.

    I'll block 2P and 2KK or block 2P and 7K or even 2,4K.

    Just evade it (Offensive move) then press on [K] then approach for a combo. [​IMG]

    Just like in Cappos (quality) vid, a multipurpose way of beating lowpunches that you know are coming is to block one(or just generally ensure you have advantage) and backdash or backward crouchdash into a launcher. This is pretty universal across all characters, not just Pai. Note that it doesnt work if instead of a lowpunch opponent does a far-reaching move instead. You can practise this with dojo so you get good timing and distance.
