Lion punishment

Lion's punishing is somewhat complicated when it comes to lows. The main reasons for that are: i) his low punch is 1f slower than everybody elses ii) the presence of a D,f+p move means he can't use his normal f+p to punish -14f lows , iii) lack of a fast mid launcher means he has to rely on other moves to punish lows up to -19f.

df+k (24+stagger)
19 b,b+k float (52-58+oki) b,f+k float (42-50+oki)
u+k,k (46+oki)
20 b,b+k float (52-58+oki) p+k float (46-52+oki)

(1) df+p+k;p,k/ppp (46-48) if not confident about buffering b,b
(2) b,b,df+p,p float (39-41+oki) if it combos on recovery CH!

On the other hand his high punishment is quite awesome since he can land his momst damaging launcher from 15f!
