Kano ball (-20), Up ball (-27), and ex Black Dragon ball (-14) can all be punished with b12 xx freeze, but ex Uprise ball (-5) is completely safe. I recommend practicing these because the timing is odd, early punishes result with an airborne opponent. Eye burst/ ex eye blast (-11) are punished by reversal slide. I see a lot of Kano players do this in pressure strings, and we don't need to respect it. Knife toss (-11) is only punishable point blank by either 11 or slide. Multi blades is amazing as it beats clone and is +5 on block.
In the corner, you can set up clones in such a way that counters every armored wake up option Kano has, as long as Kano is immediately checked with d4. D4 burns Kano's armor on both ex uprise ball and black dragon ball before he connects with clone, giving you a refreeze into either damage or set ups into the same situation. Multi blades has no armor, so he waste a bar. Note: This is general tech which
@Tom Brady mentioned long ago in the GM guide, but it's nice here because it negates any wake up attack Kano has. The one draw back is that the proximity of the clone is too close for shatter combos. Some players will notice this and may disrespect your future shatter set ups. These shatter setups are out of ex uprise ball range and will make Kano's only real armor option the black dragon ball, which is unsafe.
Input is any corner BnB ended with "... njp, (late) njk <land> clone, d4"
