If she does do d2, then you block it and make another read/guess. it's what the whole matchup is about.D12 confirms into full combo and beats the forward dash as well as her d1. If KF is reading flip kick MB she is crouch block to d2 and that makes d12 hit on block which leads to the d12 game.
I think Astronaut just isn't as familiar with the MU because no NW plays the MU in Escrima. I do however and prefer it to staff because of the reasons outlined in my original post. My conclusion is that the MU is even outside of the post-slide game because Escrima doesn't get out zoned as badly as Staff and thus the only balancing factor left in the MU is the damage out put from the post-slide game.
