Look my argument was to explain why taking b1 combos out would hurt too much. If they did this i would just rather play cage at that point. The only reason i play dvora over him is because she has true 50/50's. I find it slightly easier to open people up with her when pressureing.It still serves its purpose well as a defensive move, it gets your attack off of you and can shift momentum in your favor. Just because it isn't an armored launcher doesn't mean it's automatically booty, Predator's fastest armor move is a launcher yet the consensus is that it's a poor defensive special.
Also b1 not being hit confirmable has been debunked, has it not? Regardless, it's still safe and you'd have to make a hard read if you want to counter hit her next button for a full combo.
