The EX choke is a good idea since you keep your hand in the air for a few frames leaving a larger window open to grab the divekick. I havn't had much success with the axe tho since it's faster. If my opponent varies the timing of his divekick I can't really predict when to do it. It does allow greater punishment tho. Thx, I'll try the EX choke out. It might cost some meter but throwing it in just once or twice in a match will make your opponent respect your AA, and he'll think twice before using a divekick next time.
