Ha, well thanks. Sadly, I don't see most of this stuff being incorporated at all by most players. Hopefully soon though!

I'm leveling up a Kenshi and this is awesome. Also nice choice using the silent hill ost as background music.

What is f3~overhead slash used for? Is it safe? Is it just for pressure? I don't get it.

It`s a low/overhead mixup, albeit a slow one. And it`s a bit of a mindgame because not only is it safe, TK Slash is only - 7 on block, whereas SC is -10. Slash is a much slower move, so people tend to think it`s more punishable when they block it up close. Then they rush in to punish you and they eat an EX SC in the face.

Guess I should read the frame data, I didn't know it was that good on block. Maybe I will have to start using this a bit up close for some pressure. Jermiah and I were working on the best times to continue pressure when they stay blocking expecting shoulder. I was also doing a bit of dash up throw instead of shoulder (or barge as 16bit calls it)

Kenshi`s throw is pretty good.

Yeah, read the frame data. IT`ll change your game.
