Why don't people use the ex grab more? (if at all?)

[WakeUp DP]

With Quan I sometimes use it on the neutral in order to get chip damage. It helps to end rounds with 3 bars doing strings into EH rune trap.

Or to punish unsafe moves, instead of going for the combo punisher I EH Grab and start my chip damage pressure with EH rune trap.

In the corner, I can only do a B12 reset off half of our 50/50 in the corner. On top of that, it sacrifices like over 20% instead of the 2% that Ex-Throw sacrifices, on a very meter independant character. I'd rather not sacrifice guaranteed damage on a character who needs it. No comparison here IMO

I never said anything about the corner...

As MKX doesn't have wake-up invincibility, standing resets don't have such a huge advantage over hard KDs as they did in MK9/IGAU. They're still (usually) better, but not one bar of meter better.

Very well put

Ok then well how did you misinterpret what I was saying? If I said "I'm willing to spend a bar for 50/50 at 40%" then I'm obviously not talking about Midscreen unless you know about a 40% midscreen....
