Walking foward punishes

is walking foward instead of punishing right away a good tatic to employ

sorry if this is a newb question

Not EXACTLY sure what you mean, though I think generally if you have the opportunity to punish you should take it. Otherwise if you’re opponent is already knocked down and the game allows you to push their body towards the corner like in Street Fighter it’s a good idea unless your strategy is to keep them out like against grapplers.
