I was getting out of it with DS. Window must be tight. I would probably not respect the setup at all until I was made to in that case.
You're doing it wrong. I was doing it 10/10 against Sword Flip punishing with 3,D2 afterwards, therefore, no respect...unless you have Super.

Have you guys tested delayed reversals to see how they may or may not interact with this. I know in some cases a delayed reversal would give you more time to punish... but Deathstroke using delayed reversals could escape, maybe?

DS is more risk reward, there's 3 scenarios that can happen.

You hit too close and Sword Flip punishes
You hit right in the middle and Sword Flip goes over you for a free 3d2 or 112 punish
You hit far and you're able to block Sword Flip and punish

Then again its not that big of a risk to eat a wake up.

@Ne'er-do-well I've tried delayed wake ups on them all. They can't get out unless (see above) you hit too close.

Does anyone know if Ares can punish Cyborgs super? I forgot to test his.
Ares can not punish, Cyborg's super is him charging with his arm full screen and it hits mid. First I have seen it in a year lol.

Yeah that's still pretty significant. Especially because even if I land a flip. A HKD against ares isn't that significant because his tele wakeups are pretty good.

I should really learn this matchup more.

Thanks for the explanation.
