A new offensive move, a mid move that allows for combos after
beating the opponent down. It's a slow move, but it has good reach
and tech-crouches during the move so it can avoid highs. The best
way to use this is to back dash during advantage and then throw it
out. It can dodge short ranged moves like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Changed moves (offensive)It's hard to choose between A and B as they are both strong moves. but to make the choice easier, it's between whether you want offense or defence. In any case, it's hard to see the advantage in changing from the cut in upper compared with the short upper. It has a simple command into guaranteed combo, which is alluring, but in overall damage the cut in upper is somewhat ahead.About the two types of switch movesSwitch moves were added to strings that existed in Evo. There are two types, the switch back blow and the switch knee lift, but either one is done using the![]() ![]() ![]() Essentially, no matter which move you come from, each switch move is the same. However, the back blow will have different properties depending which stance it's used from. In defensive, it will be +4 and in offensive it will be +3 on hit. On guard it is +1 and CH +6 for either. The knee lift is the same on counter, but being a mid, it's -6 on guard and -2 on hit, a disadvantaged situation. Another important thing on top of this, is the fact that you can delay switch moves. In particular the delay on the backblow is very broad, so use this to your advantage. FootnotesThe execution for the standing punch in defensive has gone from 14 frames (elbow class) to 13 frames. This could be said to be the biggest change to defensive style. While being just a one frame change, it terms of actually application it's can be thought of as a large improvement. Not only in winning clashes at mid range or ability to retaliate, but an effect can also be seen in the ease of connecting combos.A massive change is the ability to change style before the round starts. The command is as per normal ![]() ![]() ![]() Source: Arcadia 52 Translated by: noodalls
