Concerning the elbow

should I do SDE all the time or the regular 66P. I'm lost when to use SDE effectively. When an opponent blocks it should I fuzzy guard/sidestep immediately?

 

to poke, to rape.

won't net you the big damage, but it's safer on block and evade, use it to set up bigger moves like the SDE.

 

hahahaha...great explanation J

Based on Akira VF5FS data

takes 13 frames to execute and is -5 on guard

takes 15 frames to execute and is -5 on guard

Standard jab / low jab takes 12 frames

Since is faster I use it for poking and stopping low jab spammers, usually from a close to mid distance.

I use from mid to far distance when I expect a counterhit (as it’s on counterhit that this move shines in terms of the combo dmg output).

In case your opponent blocks either version, you are very safe since it’s only -5 on guard and the fastest moves (jab/low jab) take 12 frames to execute.

Given the above, you are free to defend/evade as you see fit, fuzzy is always a good option if you are expecting a throw, and side step if you are expecting an attack (that does not have full-circular properties).

...-5 is petty good on guard, so you could even attack again after your elbow got blocked.

 

Like everyone else said, is to poke at your opponent, it's +4 on hit and +8 on CH so if it connects keep the pressure on your opponent with bigger moves like throw/SDE. In sidetuned situations the stats on this move are even better, -2 on block, +7 on hit and +11 on CH if I remember right. Great move to keep the pressure on your opponent and the exe is frightening now.

No need for sidestep, at -5 crouch dash fuzzy should beat throws and attacks.

 

Thanks for pointing that out Feck, as I might confuse the reader. I'm implying that at -5 he also has the option to evade...which is almost always a good one if you are expecting a straight forward attack.

btw, where did you get the properties for sideturned situations? or do we just add +3 frames?

 

Depends on the base damage of the move.

14 damage or less = +2

15 to 24 damage = +3

25+ damage= +6

 

Most throws and attacks
Your average fuzzy doesnt beat for example low throws and low attacks.

 

I would use 666P to intimidate my opponent to fail to evade. I usually do it when I'm in sweep distance to go all up in their space.
