Dude, just yesterday, I had enough time to sheild, let the sheild go, and then do a 5 frame dsmash. His Dash atk would be even easier to punish with CC. Pretty sure I've CC JCgrab'd that move before.Sorry but I play the matchup more than any other match-up and I constantly lab out punishing every single one of his moves. Unless you have a great move to punish with like shine, bite, a short hop aerial etc. then the only way to punish MK's dash attack is to CC it. Again though, MK has perfectly fine answers to CC. Try holding down when he just runs up and grabs you, Usmashes, or does full jump aerials like I said in my post. Specifically full jump retreating nair. Then there is always the threat of IDC which is not humanly reactable and the only way to counter it is to already be throwing moves in front of you(Which if he baits, he can IDC). Also he has a fair amount of control in the trajectory of Dair. Not only can he aim it, but he can slightly drift with it as well. If he lands behind you, you better have a shine or very quick Dsmash or you won't punish him. It is not that free in the slightest. Again, I play Zard vs. MK more than any other match-up and have gone through numerous characters as counterpicks as well. I could make a compilation video of all my findings on punishing the character and all I can conclude is that people give terrible advice on fighting him. Holding down is not the answer.
I don't know why someone would try to CC a full jump aerial. You would see it from a mile away. It would be better to anti air, instead of trying to CC it. I know for one, in the mk mirror MU, he can not come down on his self, with any hitboxes, because utilt anti airs his whole moveset.
If you see mk doing dair, just letting/making it hit you as you CC, is a free punish on mk, ya know. Like, you only said 3.
I can't speak on usmash since the MK's here, have replace that with utilts/uairs. And really, good CC at low/mid and even high % goes very far against mk.
