just a quick nit pick, the follow up for Iai-Geri is not a down charge. Its just    + 

[sketchspace]

So Tiger Knee Thunder Punch aka ( +   /   )

A moves you forward, C moves you backward.  The A version I mix up with low Bs to keep the opponent awake.  The C version I use as okizeme to bait wakeups, and versus openings against pressure.  

As far as I know there are no ways to combo after it.  Also note it's NOT an overhead, it's more of a counter poke.

Im having a very hard time getting his s.D to come from his c.B max mode combo. the s.D to command grab (EX?) window is extremely quick. Anyone have any pointers or shortcuts?

Try this:

cr. B, stand B, (BC) hcb + D, f + AC ...

I forgot who posted this in the discord (credits to that person though) but you buffer the first part of the collider with the hcb + D.  Just note that stand B whiffs against crouchers, so note that you can throw in an extra cr. B if you're close enough to help with hit confirming.

Thanks to AVerMedia LGP and Adobe Premiere, I can find frame start-up and block advantage data for the cast.
