  1. Yes, actually. Wakeup EX Soul Throw is underrated, IMO, but you need to be smart with it. EX Soul Throw has invincible start-up and starts up in… 6 frames I think, so it will catch mistimed safe jumps. It’s also useful against dive-kick pressure on wakeup, but good players will bait you eventually. Another quirk is that it tends to make option selected ultras whiff. Namely Abel. You can also use it if you read a neutral jump on wakeup from someone trying to bait EX Spiral or just trying to pressure. You can also catch people off-guard with it and may be able to get away with it, but I wouldn’t rely on it at all.

  2. Also situational. LK Spiral is best used to finish hit confirms (cr.LP cr.LK, cr.MP xx LK Soul Spiral.), MK spiral is best used canceled from a cr.MP during footsies, and HK spiral is best used as a poke and for frame traps. EX Spiral is used for a guaranteed finish to hit confirms as LK Spiral likes to whiff on some characters and when buffering it from cr.MK during footsies and as a really shitty reversal.
