Welp... A F0xy Grampa just lost his top 8 set due to a whiffed wakeup. Ouch.

There it is...
Because they're weak, easy to bait and not as busted as half of TYM think.
The other half of TYM who think wakeups are not strong enough are actually right
You know that's not what people complain about.

It's the guess between all of the wakeups delayed wakeup and moves having less active frames in this game

I don't care I'm not a competitive player anymore
Wakeups are extremely easy to punish as most of the cast. I just backdash and drop you into another 30% combo.
 
Breakaways are more valuable.
That, and why spend 1 offensive bar and 1 defensive bar when you could mix them up with rolls, delayed WUs and wakeup buttons/jumps?
breakaways only seem more valuable in the most DIRE of situations. I ain't trying to lose my defensive meter into free pressure
