Just glancing at the cast
Ken, Sakura, Juri, Karin, Cammy, Abigail, and maybe Mika
These are the characters that I think use one-hit confirms the most and it makes up more of their games
Ken can go into EX tatsu for heavy corner carry and being able to one hit confirm his target combos is really important for him, especially when it comes to frame traps.
Sakura has crmk xx Shooken for basic damage, and now that one hit confirming crmk xx HP Shooken works more consistently it helps her oki
Juri’s crmk xx Pinwheel makes her low game more of a threat without having to burn meter for safety
Karin has crmk xx tenko which is self explanatory
Cammy can whiff punish with sthp and one hit confirm off of it and her crmk is also one-hit confirmable, both into spiral into heavy corner carry and oki
Abigail has the longest crmk in the game so it’s good to be able to do it to make his low game more threatening damage-wise but it resets back to neutral
Mika has links from stmp into EX Peach so she can keep the momentum going…not a cancel but the speed of which you need to react is in a similar vein
That’s what, 7 out of 35 characters? And out of them, only 3 have super high reward for it (Ken, Cammy and Karin). That doesn’t seem like it’s as game-changing as it seems (for those 3 sure, but not the game as a whole). There’s plenty of characters you can pick if one-hit confirms are a worry. Heck, Kage just came out and crmk xx fireball is a safe cancel that always connects.
I can understand disliking the sheer damage you can get off of Karin’s low commitment crmk xx tenko OHC, but stuff like that is the exception here, not the norm.
