woa woa woa, back up. 22B hits step on a side?
This changes everything.
... no srsly, I tried to use it to hit things on the left side, but it never has. It's linear for me. Rage?
But I gotta call out that point about 1A, though. We just saw a vid in the vid thread where 1A was stepped to Raph's right. SuPhy's game against Xephukai. I made a comment, "that 1A being stepped was heartbreaking." So, it was left-stepped. So you can left-step it.
Sadface.
Mind you, I did say "Where the Hell do I put 1A?" This means I figured that 1A is good and had to go there. However, I believe in those first five moves as absolute, and I wouldn't be saying anything meaningful if I didn't say something about 66A. I'm already cheating with my ninth line there.
I guess A has only a niche use, even if it comes up a lot? I guess 3B only shows up when things start going right anyway? .... *cough* in the end, this is only a format to create discussion, I doubt truth could be contained in a literal top ten list.
I suppose the move I set up against an opponent that lets me "do whatever I want" is a perfectly spaced 1A. Zoning ftmfw.
And yeah, I do not have the VE B:B JF... though I wonder about that JF. It's so odd that he has it, considering the conditions for landing VE B. Me not knowing the JF has made me treat 22B differently (as in, actually doing 22B).
I am getting the CH combo though. Make no mistake. I don't think I understand what it means to fish for a CH - I don't think I 'get' how you make people make mistakes in this game in the big picture - but I am getting that CH combo, and intending it. When I consciously 22 knowing I will CH against my normal 22B, it's a very good feeling. And using 22B while scoffing if they think to make a profit against it with a launcher... it seems like a good use for it.

Yeah obviously with highs you want to not represent lows to reward twitch crouching already, or they'll never take them. It's just interesting to me that he has that decently ranged interrupt WS K, by existing it makes the opponent have to actually make a decision if they GI, and... it's just a life-saver sometimes.
EDIT: I HATE 8B. Sure, it looks sexy, but then you think, if you just did 11B, you'd have got the same result, and recovered in crouch, and it would have been safe (and done tons of SG damage if), and hits grounded, and some of the time has wtflolhitbox moments that are in your favour.
And yet I still do 8B. That's why I hate it. >_>
