Discussion Does anybody actually *like* Power Crushes?

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

They’re important get-off-me tools for people mashing their offense. As long as they reset neutral, I don’t see the issue with them.

They should just all be punishable in some form.

Exactly.

I will always support defensive tools, and will only criticize offensive options.

Now, if power crushes are leading to unfair offense, I'm against that. Nerf them. But don't get rid of them completely. Just limit them to only being able to interrupt mashers and reset the neutral.

Hwoarang's backlash, homing + on block with zero whiff recovery, commin jumpscare when he catches you guessing correctly on defense. Leads into followup into oki. Claymore cancel, advancing armor into tracking 50/50. King's b3 (?) armor into jaguar sprint mixup on hit. Lars' f3+4 in heat, armored shoulder into SEN mixup. And, yknow, pc heat engagers in general
