You can create ad lib follow ups assuming that the opponent will be escaping b and f+P+G after a successful catch. Dodge and try to MC with P+K or go for a b,df+P, or you can delay a D,f+P+G without a dodge etc.

I don't know if this has been said here or in a faq, but when Lion is backturned and you do his +, it has some nice evasive properties. Don't know how evasive it is, but if his gets blocked, that's what I'll use to get some distance and avoid a throw or some other move.

 

If your opponent does combos, that have alot of high attacks, like for example Lau's

= High High High High

If you block the first or second hit, immediately do and Lion will do a ducking stab punch, and he will evade under Lau's other attacks in the combo and hit Lau.



The same with Akira's combo.
If you block the first hit which is a punch attack, immediately do and Lion will duck under the kick and hit Akira.
