Good work here!

Some notes regarding the Top 10 moves section:

- 6P(P) is also Shun's go-to low punisher at -15 to -16.

- 3P beats standing punches at +2 from all 12f Punchers, except Blaze, but loses to all 11f Punchers, except Eileen.

- 2_3P has noticiable pushback, which makes it nice near the ring borders. Also at +7 DP it wall stuns, NH only.

- 1KK is Shun's only normal move that tracks to Shun's front in normal stance. 9P+K does too but enters OUS. Punishing 1KK(G) with launcher is possible, but 1K(G) eats only DAs, pounce and some ground sweepers like... well... Shun's 1KK.

- the 8P+K Mule Kick is a low crush from open stance only after a blocked 2P at -5 and a high crush at +2 from both stances. Consistent effects too. Mule kick is also Shun's go-to low punisher at -17 to -18 with less than 6 DP.

 

All good tidbits there!

OK now this I have to try! Blocked high punch into mule kick would be very nice.

I agree that Mule kick does seem to have a high crush ability though. At mid distance, it's not a bad way to stop high punch pokes.
