that's interesting I really like that idea....But assuming a had a bar to spend I would just tele and make it safe with Ex BF3 after the tele is blocked otherwise hitconfirm into about 35% with rockets incoming to keep the pressure on
Some characters can punish teleport guaranteed. f4xxflamethrower is used in situations where you're pretty sure your opponent will block the string and possibly try to punish. It's just another option to consider. The flamethrower isn't the easiest move to punish so it's low(ish) risk, low reward.
In the subzero mu i use it alot. I wake up against him alot with this with or without meter. Cuz either ex or regular goes through clone. And sometimes i use regular version as a combo ender in the corner, just to keep my opponent looking at different things. I also like to do 212 into regular flamethrower, cuz the pushback of the string keeps it pretty safe and does good chip. Its also a swaggy as hell looking blockstring lol
I never use it off of f212bb cuz of the restand (and your right, the hit adv is not great) i modify my combo a bit so that it knocks them down. And yes 212 straight rocket is alot better, i was just stating a reason as to why i do it, mostly for swag
Nearly everyone can, if its blocked crouching the pushback is significantly reduced and to me at least it feels like there is less blockstun.I can't speak for every character but most characters fastest button should be a consistent punish.
