True enough. I like to use lex's corps charge. (same thing different move lol)yes im sure. been sure for weeks. but just to satisfy you i went back and tested it again using the same method I use to test all the frame traps I have . first I will set the flash to reversal with his 6f uppercut , the reversal window is a little janky but this usually gives a good idea of if a move will work . then i set the opponent to record what ever frame trap i do and i manually try to beat it. i will re try the same set up as many times as it takes for me to get a consistent and confident answer.
on BOTH a deep Ji2 d1 was a true blockstring. nothing they could push. now granted. the d1 is a tight and timing the Ji2 is also tight but it is definitely in the realm of usable .
i will say thought while you brought it up, having a 6f high and a 9f d1 is my biggest grip about escrima. the oppoent has to be -4 for us to safely hit D1 , which is ass. if he had a 8f mid though that would be all he needed to deal with d1 spam in escrima better
I will have a look at just HOW deep you need to hit the j2. I have honestly started trying to stay more grounded or useing ji3 unless I can hit a low escrima and use the stagger to cover my jump. (opponents don't like to try to AA after that animation)
