Uppercut Oddity

[RamenO]

I was fooling around with Shang Tsung in training and noticed something odd with his uppercut.

With certain characters if you hold down and do their uppercut, while continuing to hold down, it'll stay out longer and have more recovery(I believe?). If you hold down and let go after doing the uppercut, it looks as if they have less active or recovery frames(not sure which). However, with Shang the difference is night and day. It comes out and recovers so much faster than normal.

Was this intended? Did anyone else notice this?

tested now, try doing D+1 asap after the uppercut. Either way the jab comes out around the same time. It seems the recovery is only aesthetic and really doesn't change either way

The only difference is whether they recover to a standing or crouching position (for all characters).

Does the hitbox get changed at all due to the longer standing state with the delayed version?

Wish I had someone to test this with in training...
