I did not know that there are so many special WUK's.

Thanks. I knew I was forgetting someone. Also, ALPHA-152 has the exact same special WUK.

Back on topic:
We were talking about crushing and avoiding wake up kicks right? Well, this video is a good example of crushing WUKs.

This isn't me. This video is by @QueenJakheiho. Go to second round to see Christie crushing the WUKs

I hold them, especially mid kick hold, some poeple ignore the fact that you can do a low wakeup kick. If I play against a player who know what he's doing I go to block.

A tactic I sometimes do is bait wake ups by using attacks while they're down to make it seem like they'll be able to hit me as I whiff and then I shock them with a hold.

I'd avoid trying to constantly crush a character with parries like Leifang or Kasumi. I can just stand up and parry.

Leifang has that shoulder one, . I forget how you're supposed to be lying.
Ein has the same one as Hitomi I think.

I like that. I've honestly never thought to try that. Clever.

- Head towards, face down - (throw)

Goes into her mount takedown. I'm pretty sure you can cancel it into one of her takedown feints (high crush jab, kick launcher, or gatling punches) too.

More to the topic, I generally attempt to crush wake ups. With Mila I either go 9p > p+k > 2T or 3h+k > 2T. They both go over lows. I don't really have an answer to mid wake ups other than trying to hold or punish on whiff.

As Brad, I've been struggling to crush low wakeup kicks. The issue is the timing, much like any character.

His 6 H+K crushes lows, but I seem to mess the timing up all the time. I used to be able to knock people out of mids with 8 H+K, but it hardly works anymore.

lol, probaly i used some aces or queens haha

-I do not guess with either option. You can react to wakeup kicks with defensive holds in 5U. With Tina, I can just crush both wake up kicks with a SS~

Back in Dimensions, I usually have Helena do her 9K double kicks when the opponent does a wake-up kick regardless if I succeed, failed or hit each other on the process. Nowadays, I just block, do BKO 22 or SS
