122 doesnt jail with gs. there is a 5 frame gap. 122 jails with SS. Also like i said, 12"here"2 can be armored but on hit 122 gives +4 which i good to hit confirm and not cancel with a special. Alot of shang's strings are unsafe against characters with good armored moves but i use them anyway cause u have to. SS setups and spacing is the best way to play shang along with slowly moving them to the corner. If u cancel shang's strings with SS eliminating any chance of getting blown up with armor and also gives u space to operate. Cancelling with gs leaves gaps that high lvl players do exploit.

how much damage is this? The uppercut one i do with 221 gets 51% with jip and upskull start or just 45% with jip start.
well i got 51 % using this : upskull jip, 221 mid gr skull, far gr skull , ex gr skull , step forward uppercut ,f43 soul steal ... u could prob squeeze an extra percent or two maybe using a 1 then f43 ss ... but if u use 12, f43 .the f 43 whiffs as the gravity is too much
ninja edit / i think without d upskull my one is 46% dont hold me to that tho :)
