Spoiler: Aeon Punishment

Aeon:
3A
Best Punish: 6KK

1A
Best Punish: 6KK

33_66_99A
Best Punish: 6B

22_88A
Best Punish: 3B
*careful of 22A,B 2nd hit

22_88A,B
Best Punish: 6KK

11_44_77A/11_44_77[A] (to Sand Winger)
Best Punish: 6KK
*3B works, but 6KK is better for waiting to see if Aeon attacks from flight. 6KK also punishes 4[A] if he doesn't

Rising A,B
Best Punish: 6KK

B,B,B
Best Punish: Step 2nd hit and 3B
*you can do this for the 3rd hit as well

6B,B
Best Punish: Duck 2nd hit and FC 3B

6B(BE)
Best Punish: Quickstep final hit and 22B

3B
Best Punish: 6KK
*Fails at far range

1B
Best Punish: AA
*Fails at far range. Doesn't work on BE version

66B (to Sand Winger)
Best Punish: 3B

33_99B
Best Punish: 6KK

11_77B
Best Punish: 6KK

44B,A/4B,A,A
Best Punish: Duck 2nd hit and FC 3B
*3rd hit is also a high

Best Punish: 6KK

66K
Best Punish: 6KK

11_77K
Best Punish: FC 3B

44K
Best Punish: 6KK

Rising K
Best Punish: 6B

B+K
Best Punish: Duck and FC 3B
*Not easy to do this on reaction 100%, but if you can, use this

4B+K
Best Punish: 33BB
*Hits Aeon grounded

8B+K (to Sand WInger)
Best Punish: 6A+B
*This will beat his fire breath BE from stance, and goes underneath the dive unless blocked at tip range. Also has better reach than FC 3B

Sand Winger Stance
*You can pretty much quickstep everything in stance, but the dive has some tracking to Aeon's front side (his right; your left) He has to burn meter to stay in the air, so once you step, get ready to punish him as he comes down from the fire move, or if he dives down at you.

SW K (Dive)
Best Punish: FC 3B ~6A+B
*Dive knocksback too far to get 3B+K to combo after launch. You can force a mixup instead, but 6A+B gives the most guaranteed damage

SW (BE)/SW (BE)G (Fire Breath)
Best Punish: Quickstep and iFC 3B as he lands
*You want to time FC 3B just as he lands, so you get the re-launch for the most damage.

Critical Edge
Best Punish: 3B or CE
*3B has to be done as soon as you block it. Once he uncurls, he's safe.

Spoiler: Maxi Punishment

Maxi:
A,A~Right Cross
Best Punish: 6KK
*Punishes and interrupts everything from Right Cross including aGI

6A~Right Outer
Best Punish: AA
*Fails at max range. This punishes 6A and interrupts stance. At far range, backstep is recommended

3A~Left Inner
Best Punish: Backstep after blocking and 3B
*You can also 3A+B to beat stance, but timing is tough and it loses to aGI. 44B may work well

4A~Behind Lower
Best Punish: 6BA or CE
*6BA Punishes and beats all except BL A. If you read BL A, you can whiff punish with FC 3B. CE beats all.

22_88A~Left Inner
Best Punish: 44B after blocking 22A

FC 3A/3A,A/3A,A,A~Right Outer

1B~Right Outer
Best Punish: 6A+B after blocking 1B

Jump B~Left Outer
Best Punish: 6KK
*Punishes and beats all stance options including aGI

Best Punish: 6KK

236K/236K,G
Best Punish: 6KK
*Maxi can alter the duration of this move, but it's always punishable by 6KK if you're on point with it

11_44_77K
Best Punish: (Just Guard only, 3B)
*this is advantage on block for Maxi otherwise

Rising K,K
Best Punish: Duck 2nd kick and FC 3B

Best Punish: 3B
*6KK works as well from most ranges

A+B,G~Right Cross
Best Punish: 6KK
*Punishes and beats all stance options including aGI

Best Punish: FC 3B
*You can also do 4A+B from crouch if you react quickly.

Best Punish: CE or (Just guard 2nd hit only, 3B)
*If you have the meter it's best to just go for the CE.

Jump A+B

B+K
Best Punish: 6B
*Careful of the followup hits of B+K:B;B:B;A

B+K:B;B;B:A
Best Punish: 3B
*Punishes and beats out the RO followups including aGI

Rising B+K~Behind Lower
Best Punish: 6KK
*Close to mid range only. Sometimes only one kick will hit.

Dealing with Maxi Stance Options
*The general mindset for dealing with Maxi stances, is that you can either interrupt his next option, or you can backstep and whiff punish him for it. Maxi has some decent highs from certain stances, so sometimes a 2A or 2K (or some other good TC move) is all you need to quickly poke him out of his frame trap options and force him to play more defensive minded. At other times, it's best not to engage him at all and just bait a whiff. (or use 44B to evade.)


Right Cross Stance
RC A,B
Best Punish: 4A+B Auto GI the 2nd hit
*Also works on BE version, but make sure you get timing down. 1B+K between hits also works

RC B~Left Outer
Best Punish: 6KK
*Stops all followups including aGI. WS B/(BE) also works, but loses to aGI and far range sweep.

RC K
Best Punish: FC 3B
*Careful of RC KK second hit.

RC K,K
Best Punish: WS B/WS B(BE) between hits
*Won't punish RC K itself, and you can't wait and see if he does it. You have to commit. BE version is safe if you're wrong.

Right Outer Stance
RO B~Right Cross
Best Punish: 6KK
*Stops all followups including aGI.

RO K,A
Best Punish: 6KK
*If it's hard to read the mixup with RO KA/RO KK, GI should work on both with similar timing.

RO K,K
Best Punish: 1B+K between hits
*If it's hard to read the mixup with RO KA/RO KK, GI should work on both with similar timing.

Left Outer Stance
LO A
Best Punish: 9K on reaction or JG 2A
*Leaves Maxi in crouch if he doesn't finish the string. If you JG~2A it will interrupt K followup as well.

LO B,K
Best Punish: Duck 2nd hit and FC 3B
*If you block both hits, you are still at slight advantage.

LO K
Best Punish: FC A
*Fails at max range

Left Inner Stance
LI A/LI A(BE)(Backhand)
Best Punish: 6A+B
*If you're timing is on point, you can actually get an iFC 3B to punish also. 3B works too, but fails at far range

LI B~Left Inner
Best Punish: 66K
*An Immediate 66K will punish and beat all stance options including aGI

LI {B}~Left Inner
Best Punish: Step on reaction and 22B
*Don't block the full GB. It gives Maxi a free LI A. Possibly 44B+K aGI on reaction. Even if he delays, you backstep away anyway.

Behind Lower Stance
BL A (Retreating move)
Best Punish: 3B or CE
*3B fails at far range block. CE reaches farther out thought it's harder to buffer.

BL B,B~Left Outer
Best Punish: 6KK
*Punishes and beats all stance options including aGI

BL K,K/BL K(BE)
Best Punish: Block first hit and WS A or WS K
*Both punish BL K itself, and beat followups. WS K for frames. If he does the BE, he'll jump WS K, but not WS A

Critical Edge
Best Punish: 6A+B or CE
*JG the last hit grants you 3B, but for the risk it's not really worth it. Only use 6A+B if you don't have meter. 3B will work if your near a wall

for Z.W.E.I.

Spoiler: ZWEI Punishment

Z.W.E.I:
[A]
Best Punish: Duck 2nd hit and FC A
*Easiest option. ZWEI recovers extremely fast from this. FC 3B and 6KK both have to be right away

6A
Best Punish: FC 3B

3A,A
Best Punish: Duck 2nd hit and FC 3B
*Careful of BE version as it hits mid and stuns

3A(BE)
Best Punish: 6KK
*You cannot step or aGI in between

1A
Best Punish: FC 3B

4A
Best Punish: 6KK
*Careful of 4[A] 2nd hit.

4[A]
Best Punish: Quickstep and BB or 3B
*ZWEI can act on his own while Ein is out. He recovers pretty quick if just blocks. 3B will force him to either guard or use Ein right away.

4[A]Max Charge
Best Punish: 2K
*If ZWEI holds Ein for longer than normal you can usually get in a quick 2K to interrupt.

22_88A
Best Punish: 3B

11_44_77A
Best Punish: 6KK

{B} (Ein)
Best Punish: Quickstep 2nd hit and BB

3B
Best Punish: 6KK

1{B}(Ein)
Best Punish: 1A

*1A will interrupt all followups for CH, and forces a block. Only loses to a specifically delayed EIN release, which isn't a lot of damage. (Credit goes to Kalas for finding this.)

4B
Best Punish: 6KK

66B,A
Best Punish: Duck and FC 3B

33_99B
Best Punish: 6B
*AA works too but is range dependent. 6B always hits

22_88B,B
Best Punish: 6KK
*4K works too, but it's nearly impossible to RO/Wallsplat with.

11_44_77B
Best Punish: Use AAB to interrupt
*This guarantees a GB if you block ZWEI first, or gives him free KND if you block EIN first. You can step them both on reaction, or interrupt with a fast attack. He is completely vulnerable while Ein is out.

4K,B
Best Punish: 6KK

1K(BE)
Best Punish: Quickstep to ZWEI's back side and BB
*ZWEI recovers extremely quick if he guards afterwards.

22_88K
Best Punish: AA
*Point Blank range only. Farther out, 66K is a force block.

11_77K
Best Punish: 6KK

A+B
Best Punish: 6KK
*Fails at max range

4A+B
Best Punish: 3B

4[A+B]
Best Punish: FC 3B
*for some reason it's more unsafe than the regular one

8A+B
Best Punish: AA

66[A+B]
Best Punish: 2K
*If ZWEI holds Ein for longer than normal you can usually get in a quick 2K to interrupt. 3B might work to force his hand.

6B+K
Best Punish: 3B between hits
*only works if ZWEI does anything other than guard while EIN is out. He is safe if he guards.

6B+K,A
Best Punish: AAB after 2nd hit
*AAB will interrupt the 3rd hit after blocking the 2nd. If he tries to delay EIN, Use 3B or 2K to interrupt

6B+K,B
Best Punish: AAB after 2nd hit
*AAB will interrupt the 3rd hit after blocking the 2nd. If he tries to delay EIN, Use 3B or 2K to interrupt

66B+K
Best Punish: 3B
*If you do it right away you can get a free Back Throw as well

Knife Fiend Stance
KF A
Best Punish: 6KK
*You can also duck and use FC 3B, but this will be difficult to duck on reaction if used while EIN is out.

KF B
Best Punish: (Just guard only, 3B)
*This will be very difficult to JG if used while EIN is out

Critical Edge
Best Punish: Run in 66AA or CE
*If you want to save the meter, run in 66AA will do. Neither of these work farther than mid range due to pushout.
