The whiffed elbow dash setups seem like a low % move to me. Even after several hours in practice I still find myself well below 75% success rate with it.
The one I'm referring to specifically is his highest damage midscreen string, although it applies to all of his elbow dash setups:
3,2,1 elbow dash, NJ 1/2, forceball, 3,2, forceball, 3,2,1, slide (45%)
A lot of people are claiming to be able to hit this consistently in practice, but my question is: How consistently? It seems to me that no matter how perfect my command input is, the NJ punch still has a chance to whiff. I've held up and done everything to my knowledge to improve my success with it, and I feel like Im at the point where my skill no longer is a factor so much as the inherent chance to miss the punch.
For a move that seems to be less than 1/2 of the time successful (for me) I find it much more effective to land the 1,2,2, force ball string for a super consistent 35% plus.
I've concluded that I either need more practice, or this combo (even at the highest level) is not worth the risk due to its inconsistency. I should also say that I play with a d-pad, which I prefer to an arcade stick. Unless there is some sort of real advantage to playing on a stick (such as better response time), then I don't think this should be a factor, as I have no other issues landing and inputting my commands.
Id like to hear everyones' input as to whether or not this is a viable juggle combo for high level play, or if the risk of missing it is not worth the reward.
