It's -1 and his fastest normal is 4f so every character can beat it. He has to block unless he has enough to charge an ex flash kick.
The issue isn't just the normal, it's that he can walk up and I have to guess between CC/UDK or grab, and I tend to go for the grab tech. My reactions aren't good enough to reliably punish on startup, so maybe I should just mash jab more lol.
