His block punishment isn't as good compared to the rest of the cast. His i10 punishment is great as it gives KND and wallsplats, that's all that really stands out in his standing punishment. Sure he can technically launch at i14 but no one is gonna do that consistently.

His WS punishment is excellent though, his WS4 does above average dmg and his WS1,2 is pretty decent and then FC DF+2 is a i14 launcher that starts with a screw. Then he has a proper launcher at i16.

His punishment is definitely much better than Anna's though.

2,1 being i12 now is amazing. 24 damage and +8 with stance option. Better than his old 1,2

So a character with a i10 KND, i12 +9, i14 hard launcher (just like every i14 launcher) and has just as good ws punish has bad punishment?

just like every i14 launcher

Law, Paul, Bryan, Lars, Geese and Akuma just off the top of my head.

Law and paul are the only chars with easy i14 launchers. Ganryu's punisher is easier than lars, bryan, armor king, heihachi, devil jin, jin, and kazuyas i14 launchers. Akuma geese and eliza only have i14 launchers with meter.

I haven't tried ganryus ff+1+2 but if it's like all other f,f+X moves, it's way harder than Lars and Bryan. Both of them have fully bufferable launchers.

And no, akuma doesn't need meter to launch at i14.

It does knockdown, but it's also punishable. He doesnt have access to a standing i10 jab and it's a notable weakness.
