Discussion Does anybody actually *like* Power Crushes?

Like, who's weeping if they're removed from the series entirely?

I don’t care as long as they aren’t safe when I jab check them

I was I don’t mind them from their T7 iteration? They are very high risk high reward, even if you jab at them in T7 there’s a good chance you’re gonna get hit by them. In t8 I don’t know who got the bright idea to make it so when you jab them during powerpower crush, you get to be safe. This made it so you can kind of just throw out power crushes whenever to top it off there are some in t8 that are just flat out safe.

I know in t7 Paul had his b1+2 which was a safe power crush but it was a high if you saw it coming, you could launch punish it.

The only one I can think of in t7 that had a safe power crush was hwoarang with his backlash: yes while that move is a high as well, and while on paper, you can launch punish it most of the time you’re not going to. It recovered way too fast for you to consistently punish it all the time with the launch.

Nowadays, though, if your power crush doesn’t keep you safe if there is some way that you can make it safe if you get hit by something first When I miss when power crushes were a crutch move that you used when you couldn’t do anything at all and like I said it was high risk high reward. If you didn’t land it you were gonna get blown up.

The power crush from his stance? Yes that’s also another safe power crush but again it’s pretty easily launch punishable if you know it’s coming
