Then again it might be because of active frame. The elbow drop stay active until you hit the ground, making a wall for your oponent and living him unable to punish you without trading.
Yeah, I win so many air battles with the elbow, its ridiculous. Its what Vanilla Sagat wanted his jump strong to be.
Actually what’s really interesting is if you compare the hit box of the regular elbow drop and the bushin leap elbow drop.
The regular elbow drop has a much smaller red hit box, BUT his legs have almost no green hit boxes.
The Bushin leap elbow drop has green hit boxes on the legs, but its red hitbox sticks out a lot more in front. This is perfect since- Bushin Leap> Throw catches people if they’re standing and Bushin Leap> Elbow EARLY beats or trades with most normal anti-airs. Learning to vary the timing of your Bushin Leap button press is, in itself, an important mix up for Guy.
