What have you guy found to be the most effective way to punish whiffed holds? I use Shooting Star and Deja Vu for just straight damage. As for set ups into a combo I just don't know. You guys have any ideas?

Against standing holds Deja Vu is your go-to for guaranteed punishment, SSP is obviously more damaging but only just frame guaranteed, none of Lisa's launchers offer enough damage to be used as punishment, especially as you gain no bonuses from them. Against low holds always go for 
. and follow-up with the appropriate juggle it will always do more damage than even on hi-counter although the latter is a faster option.

If you want to punish with a strike, you could always(unless they go for a low hold) do pk(k) for natural combo chip and frame advantage or finish it for a stun. if you want to be an asshat, do 4H+K everytime lol. Theres something to work with. Other than that i would stick to throws like 4/6T, DJV, or Hammer throw against a wall.

just never seemed that great to me unless you are in a corner or up against the wall.
44T and 64T are good for their guaranteed hits and mixup starting potential
