Question - Stunt Double Straight Force Ball vs. High/Low Force Ball

[P.F.]

Has anyone found any sort of special utility for Straight Force Ball yet?

As a possibly uneducated guess at first glance, it looks like a straight downgrade from JC's normal projectiles. They are slower than the High/Low Forceballs and can be ducked under from anywhere on the screen. Was this put in to keep Stunt Double's zoning potential from getting out of hand?

I was never heavy on the zoning side of Johnny, but the High/Low Forceballs were really nice as anti-airs since his anti-air normals have kind of iffy hitboxes.

They're not terrible to use from full to mid screen. You can't really use them in pressure like in the other variations because there's a gap between the fireballs. The EX fireballs can add a lot of damage in corner combos though. Overall I'd say A-List/Fisticuffs have the better fireball.

I only play stunt double so im stuck with it, not as much zoning potential but them 49% corner combos

Why exactly does he shoot it straight in this variation? I don't understand.

Theyre more for sweg combos and against whack zoners theyre decent
