Yeah some triggers are like that. Sak VT2 is like that too. Just a big damage dump trigger (and gives her v timer meterless reversal), but if you get the hit you get the hit.
Yeah but Sakura also has the extra benefit of gaining a meterless reversal and turning any small stray hit into massive damage.
Ed’s Snatcher only connects cleanly off of Psycho Spark (which in of itself only connects properly from c.HP unless you’re in their grill) and Psycho Knuckle. You could use it after Upper but it’s a waste unless going for lethal damage.

Psycho knuckle still isn’t a bad thing to convert off of. VT1 makes VT2 look good at least. Maybe you’ll get that plus 3 c.MP again one day.
Problem is that it’s pretty easy to neutral jump on reaction. At worst, Ed tries to pump fake with s.HP but he can’t punish the actual jump at that point. Psycho Knuckle in of itself is a gimmick, one that I seem to get away with too much as it is.
As for the +3 oB c.MP, it’s honestly not that big of a deal. I really haven’t noticed a difference in play with it at +2. It’s a 4 frame trap, and most people with 3 framers won’t even risk it on the chance that I hit meaty which I’m actually decent at in canned scenarios.

Mmmmm yeah s.MP is pretty adequate for plus 3 any way.
We’ll have to play more. I’m out for the night.
One thing I wanna do this yr is make it a point to play SRK peeps more often.

No character in this game tilts me more than Mika -_-
How strong is mika in s4? Is it even season 4 or are we on season 3.5? Anyways I was watching Mika’s in season 1, especially Du’s,luffys,fuudo, and that wall bounce mid screen she had was broken imo.
Mika is still on Season 3.5, she forgot to apply for changes.

There’s some dude liking a bunch of my posts in the old lounge threads.
Someone’s apparently bored enough at work to read months of SFV-related forum banter, I guess?

I missed the ed talk. Vt2 is dope. If they v reversal they have no comeback. If they block you can shimmy or throw into the world. If they regular reversal, they lose meter and you have a chance to rock their world.
And any hit is massive damage. So save to super and unload a taint breaking world of pain on em.
Ed versus Falke is kinda hard but once in st.hk range you get the jab>st.hk or jab>dash in neutral mixup along with any jumpin that she misses.
I don’t think it’s in his favor but I also feel I got the sf5 shizzle on my side.
Also, don’t just throw out vt2 at neutral throw a fireball and empty cancel it into vt2. You can make vt2 connect before your fireball does.
I love Ed’s VT2 when I am playing Gief.
They do it during a block string and I press one button to break it, do 130 damage and get oki out of it.
Any fireball invincible move would do it, but lariat excels at it.
One can also backdash to avoid it when Ed does it during block string.
Ed is trash.
Speaking of trash, how does this place not have pages yet?
U heard it guys there is a pattern he just wont tell us about it

This just makes me more annoyed with Capcom’s silence because I keep seeing his nonsense cross-posted everywhere while they remain tight-lipped on the real shit.

Hey, the pattern is obvious. Six characters each season.
