Basically this for keeping the charge for the Zonk. If I know I’m playing someone that can be stunned quick and gives me opportunities to go for a hard stun combo like jump in fierce, crouching fierce, Zonk, I’ll use middle finger to keep the charge. That way at worse I only lose a focus, but I can still do tech throws if they want to mix into those shenanigans. Counter hit Crouching Fierce into Zonk, I don’t know why, is just satisfying. Not to mention against someone like Juri, get the little Zonk combo to connect on her in a good rush 2 - 3 times in a row, and she’ll be stunned. That’s usually when I go for a heavier hitting combo, then I fall back to charging the medium Zonk.
BUT, this is really player / character subjective. A lot of the time I’m doing what Cicada’s saying, keeping the fierce down, just to always have that option when you feel like you may really need it. Just being able to have it ready at a quick notice can flip the scales. That’s going to be my thing this weekend anyway, doing a lot more matches with keeping that option.
This is awesome, thank you. Automatically bookmarks. Also with the fireball should i release regular zonk right before it hits me?
i almost always have zonk charged with fierce. fierce jumpin is bad, and you really only lose cr. fierce and st. fierce AA, but oyu have about 10 other options for good AA with b+mp, RH RK, st. RH, st. jab, zonk itself…etc
spamming zonk to make them afraid to even stick out pokes is good stuff.
yes, but make sure you’re in range to hit them, because if you don’t…bad things happen 
I can confirm that EX Zonk will not be grabbed by Command Grabs. Gief did empty jump Ultra on me just a few minutes ago, and during the Ultra Freeze I was already glowing Yellow from the EX Reversal. Gief’s arms went right through me and he ate the Zonk knuckle. I think both my opponent and I were too stunned to do much else in that round.
That is awesome. Definitely will be buffering the EX Zonk when Geif has Ultra.
That is awesome. Definitely will be buffering the EX Zonk when Geif has Ultra. Although it is risky since you have to go of the buttons before he does the Ultra.
I find it really aggravating when you have a zonk charged and someone taps you with a cr.lk or something just before you release… you lose your charge and nothing comes out in the block-stun obviously. This feels like a real problem since EX zonk is his only way to deal with pressure/rush - once you lose your zonk charge you have no defense up close for another 2 seconds.
Also, his cr.fierce has a really bad hitbox for dealing with crossups… It kinda has a nice range in front of him, but misses directly over his head.
