    Certain low attacks have a very low posture such that some mid attacks will whiff against them during some frames of the execution.

    Shun's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is a classic example but there are many others, each having this low posture window vary in timing and duration.

    As another example, if your timing is right, you can use Lion or Aoi's sweep (/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif) to duck under and beat a mid rising kick.

    Yes this true, but /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif misses a lot of attacks that most mids (maybe even all of Lau's other mids) normally hit. It's something to keep in mind before totally falling in love with the move.

    I've noticed that even against Lion's standard low punch Lau's 9p can miss. I'm not sure if it had something to do with consistency or not

    Not really, Lion is just consistently a bitch. =p

    Yeah, Lion's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif has some weird properties. Maybe it's stance dependent since it doesn't always miss.

    Basically, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif is just not consistent. I've had numerous occasions where I make the correct guess with the move, only to whiff and then get thrown afterwards instead. It's pretty ridiculous.

    It's more reliable as an abare option to beat throw attempts than something to beat low attacks.

    I don't know that I'd go that far. It does crush all low punches reliably except Lion's in my experience and that is nice. But yeah, it's clash beating property is pretty sweet.

    The worst for me is when it completely misses Akira's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. Just looks soo awkward, and that Lau recovers standing while the opponent recovers crouching...

    Another situation where it's not consistent is against low rising attack, they should at least fix this one, low risng attacks are not especialy low posture moves.

    Yeah, if there's any move it should crush, it's that one. Instead it magically goes through his head. Use /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif instead. Same for crushing low rising attack.

    Exactly, this is why I had said before to avoid using /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif to beat low attacks in general, but instead use it against throw as it is one of the fastest moves in the game in terms of how fast it enters airborn state (even faster than /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif).
