It has begun
I've been experimenting a bit with using these moves as pressure to force a second combo. Example:
jin1, 12b1, f44 xx TU xx jin3 xx EX TU xx b21
homing missile, dash
<insert combo here>
The beauty of this, is obviously that the homing missile can really put your opponent in a tight spot; their options are to eat the missile and by extent the full combo (unless they do a wake-up or a backroll), or block the missile and...eat a full combo, if they guess their block wrong. After all, a blocked missile gives you enough time to decide between a throw, b3,4 (low starter) or u3,4 (overhead starter).
Now I've tried this online and it seems to catch many people off-guard. Pretty sure it also pissed them off if they lose about 60-70% in a matter of seconds. However, it's still online, so I'm taking my results with a grain of salt, and seeing as I'm lacking offline competition in my area, I have to rely on you guys to tell me if it's a viable strategy.
Also, would it be viable to do a regular up missile and get about the same results? It seems that for wake-ups/techs at least, a homing missile would be the better option, even if it does cost you one meter with no GUARANTEED results.
