Ok, so I know that I'm rushing this up but I would like the opinion of the community about how/if this will change the Sub/Jax match-up. What you are seeing in the video is Jax putting out his 11 string in response to a blocked b2. Jax's arm phases through the clone, allowing him to touch Sub and remove the clone from the screen. This is applicable with regular clone and EX clone and it works against a Sub duck blocking and stand blocking after the blocked b2 which can be seen in the video. It also seems that it should work mid-screen. In the rare case that he doesn't touch Sub, you are safe and can potentially block break the clone by ducking. I haven't tested that far. Again, I rushed this to the forum. This potentially has tons of applications but as of right now, it's dangerous for Sub to throw out a b2 because it is reactable in most cases and a blocked b2 means the clone is gone.
Concerns
-Sub could back-dash but he relinquishes pressure if he does that.
-Really that's it. Anything positive is good at this point in the match-up.
I plan on posting this to the Anti-Grandmaster guide that I have in the works along with some other strings that Jax can whiff to punish Sub for a follow up attack after a clone is placed. Obligatory hump and X-Ray at the end! Gotta keep digging!
Punishing the d4 follow up attempt
Safer option for d4 punish
