Who can actually punish normal Vanishing Winds on block? Shang can't. You can do B2~DB3 in his face and it's safe with a flawless blockable(but no reversal hits) gap. With the pushback on F2~DB3 I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a character in the game besides Raijen who could punish. You can jump out of B1~DB3 but I doubt there's anyone punishing that on block either.
They said they touched up the amplified hit of Vanishing Winds(the actual teleport) so I guess we'll have to wait and see what it looks like.
Glow is obviously awesome but I'm not sure that's that big of a deal to lose when a projectile reflect and a teleport. Glow is underwhelming in some matchups anyway, like the teleport will do more for you against Scorpion than glow will.
Projectile Reflect Amp is going to be a super cheeky move to throw out sometimes on an approaching opponent or if they are looking to punish a reflect in neutral. It seems bad at first but I'm willing to bet that people find ways to sneak it in.
Yea, I'm reserving judgement until I see patch notes. B2 is not confirmable. It has to be dialed in (jaded gets a confirm with vole vault) It also get blown up by basically anything that can touch her after b2...I'm hoping they tightened it up.
322 ex rang does more damage than b343 ex rang so it's good for punishes, but since 3 is a high it's useless for stagger pressure compared to b3 since they are both 11f but b3 is a true mid.
She does get a 50/50 on the b2 string in the corner but like above it doesn't matter when you have an eternity to just blow up this string.
Her whiff punishes become much better but she is giving up a lot. Even more so than Jaded. I'll reserve judgement until we get the notes to see if any properties have changed.
B2 is confirmable into normal specials. I don't think it's easy but I think B2 is confirmable into B2124 from its first hit. It's definitely hit confirmable if you don't care about being punished because you can input/buffer B212, but really I think you can confirm it as long as you are talking about a true hit situation, not later active frames hitting. If it's like a tight punish or a confident read in neutral, I think you should be able to hit confirm it. And on block you can use Vanishing Winds to be -9 with pushback, so you might be able to force some respect for the string on block.
3 is a -1 stagger and 322 is a -5 stagger with a low follow up. B3 will most like remain her go to stagger and normal but more staggers are always better. Gives them more to think about and it adds potential to her combos and punishes like you mentioned. The additional hit in 432 is good too to safely get respect for 432. You can always do these after a jump in as well.
Is delia's dance good? It's safe when amplified right?
Yeah, maybe a little too good after the post-beta buffs. It's a safe low option(with meter) that leaves them +8 or so without using meter and she could do shit like D1~Delia's Dance and it would work because it was so fast. They could have made a variation with it that was fair but maybe they thought the whole combo would be too much, especially when Vanishing Winds is already a low attack.
Leaves them standing. Restand is like Kollector's bola.
