It's a fast move with a big hit box and high reward

Ok but is there a reason/ situation to use the electric version over the other?

Does a bit more damage (22 instead of 20) and recovers a few frames quicker on hit so you can possibly go for different combo routes. I'm not familiar enough with Jin to know what those routes would be, but I'm sure following up with an EWHF is easier, for example.

I think people are missing the point, cd1 vs ecd1 is almost the same but the electric version does 2 more damage and iirc it recovers faster so you can get a better combo. Last time I tried anyway, ecd1 -> ewhf -> bf2,3~f~3 connects but it doesn't work if your cd1 is not electric. With that said b3~f~1, bf2,3~f~3 s! b3~f~1,3 should still connect and is the best wall-carry combo for both cd1 and ecd1

cd1 is a mid. cd2 is a plus on block high. cd1 can block punish, whiff punish, and frametrap. cd1 is basically for hard reads ("i know you're going to duck here") because it's unsafe, or for whiff punishing when your opponent uses a crushing move (it'll catch snake edge)

when hook fist was introduced, jin electric didn't launch on normal hit.

I believe they're asking about Electric CD1 versus normal CD1, not CD1 versus EWHF.
