ummm.... what if i just d3 your flash wakeup? won't all of your follow ups just whiff?
You could counter with your own down 3 and gain advantage.
Staff overhead hops over pokes as I've done with even long range down 4's, down 3's are even easier to do it against.
Standing 4 into special of choice or forward 3.
flash and walk back and execute back 2 into 25% combo.
If you mix it up well enough you can check a lot of those low poke counters and them respect your options, there's more than what I listed, but that's just a general sample.
