Post 214236K Reset

If Andy lands in the corner after hitting an aerial opponent with 214236K, he can juggle the opponent with one hit of cl.5C and cancel into a whiffed 4/6A to tack on some extra damage and leave himself +1 and out of throw range as the opponent air resets. Omitting the 6A gives more frame advantage (+11) but will not push Andy out of throw range. Andy can alternatively get a safejump off of his most common combos into 214236K which can be read in the Safejumps section.

Defense

Safejumps

4F Safe

  • (after opponent techs 236A near corner) (hyper)hop - Autotimed.
  • (after back throw near corner) 2B, (hyper)hop - Autotimed.
  • (after combo into 236C > 214236K) 236A, 2B, hyperhop/superjump - Autotimed. Hyperhop is a 4F safejump. If the opponent was not carried to the corner, Andy can superjump for a crossup (reactable) that causes many buffered reversals to whiff. Can do 236A or 2B first depending on preference.
  • (after corner combo into 41236K(3) > j2D, 623C(1) > 214236K) 2C, 2B, hop or 5CD (> 236A) hop - Autotimed. 2C, 2B and 5CD are simpler, adding 236A will build some meter.
  • (after combo into 214236BD) (super)jump, (super)jump - Autotimed. Use superjumps to reach from max distance, otherwise normal jumps work fine. Does not work from juggled 236214P 214236BD Advanced Cancel or from corner juggles after 236AC.
  • (after corner combo into 236AC, 41236K(3) > j2D, 623A > 214236BD) cl.5A/5B/2A, hop, jump - Autotimed. Can shuffle the order of the actions for personal preference.

6F Safe

  • (after forward throw in corner) backdash, hyperhop - Autotimed.

Countering Andy

Do not let an Andy player get away with the expensive gimmick of Climax Cancelling the second hit of his 623C (DP) on block to make it "safe". He is -1 in this situation and can be punished by throws.
Nakoruru can punish Andy's 236A on block in any context with her 623AC. Other characters have moves that can punish it but are spacing dependent and risky, like Kyo's 623AC.
