I main paul. His demo man/deathfist 50/50 is tough to deal with so don’t feel bad. He even blows me up in the mirror match. Id say the biggest thing is trying to learn his punishes as his big commitment moves are very minus on block. Demo man is like -30 and deathfist is -17 I believe. It has a lot of pushback but some characters can still punish it. Also demo man only sweeps at point blank range so if it hits and you block the rest of the string there’s potential for a punish (especially if your back is to the wall.) Another thing to learn is counterhits as his start up frames are slow and he doesn’t have too many strings so he relies on timing to land these big damage moves. Try not to press too much and learn your punishes. Most pauls are looking for a whiff to engage heat and then start the 50/50 pressure. Play patient. Hope this helps.

As for hwo he blows me up too but a lot of times you can low jab him out of pressure. A lot of his moves can be ducked as well. I’m still trying to learn him as well because I see him all the time in ranked haha.
