How - it is on block cannot make it bad. It's a 10 frame advancing mid that advances far enough to hit at the start of the match. Johnny Cage can use his, that has better range, to get jailing pressure. What other character can do that? That doesn't mean that Triborg's is bad, because you actually have to use it to punish stuff with pushback, whiff punish, and to space your opponent, rather than to just bulldoze your opponent without caution. This is just like when people would say that Cassie Cage's B1 isn't good, because you could armor through the following string, and that the first couple hits were super minus. Please.
Outside of Cage's F3 and Kotal's B1 idk if i'd take any mid over Triborg's. There are a lot of good ones. Lao's F2, Cassie's B1, Jax's F3, Alien's F1, Mileena's B1, D'vorah's F1, etc. I think it's safe to say that Triborg's is just as good as any of those and whichever good ones I left off.
