AK Pig Of The Hut do you think if the just frame reset was easier, would it be more viable than the vortex?
Do you mean the mb.freeze, j1~mb.freeze reset? Cuz it's totally viable, just takes practice (and offline only). You're spending another meter for a reset that's actually os backdashable (it's possible to time your back dash to block the overhead option and the command throw) - a reset that's also scaled pretty heavily (8-10% less than what her high/low pays off. It's viability is that it's a gimmick that nobody uses, so people haven't practice that os - or likely even know about it. So, in the hypothetical situation that winning/placing a tournament or if money's on the line, then it's worth it. It helps that it's unpunishable since the backdash escape leaves you at positive frames in most situations.
It's best use is in the corner where you can use those plus frames (if they backdash escape) for frame traps/50-50s, depending on the characters backdash recovery. Obviously the Lex backdash punish option makes it godlike in that match-up.
Outside of the corner though, I think it's not worth it tbh.
