The 6-1-15 Hotfix pretty much ended with Sand Trap / Tackle's utility as a combo ender unless your plan is to carry the opponent to the corner. The nerf is so bad, you actually have to block/dodge inmediately once you recover whatever wakeup attack the opponent does.
This nerf although certainly meant for Outlaw, it hurts the character as whole across all variations. The idea is to discuss and share findings with regards to EB's oki game: new enders, new setups, frame advantage, punishes, counters, etc.
So far the 3 combo enders I'm considering using to replace Tackle are:
(Outlaw) B+3, 3 xx Tarkatan Stab - pretty obvious
1, 2, 1 - hard knockdown with ~8 frames of advantage
Sand Slide - as suggested by @SonicFox5000
In general the problem now is damage and/or position has to be sacrificed if we want a hard knockdown for oki setups. There's allegedly "hundreds" of knockdown options available out there that weren't explored because Tackle was too good. Well, the only way to find out is to brainstorm this topic.

P.S: please tag all other EB players.
