Free Step Dodge

Not if you're playing Akira. In Akira's case, 2P is your best friend!

True that. Mainly because his 2P is also part of his combos. But the thing is: I don't see a lot of players using 2P. I don't understand why. It is usually safe on block, is generally about as fast as your fastest mid, crushes highs and it is a good tool to escape pressure.

Honestly, if I'm not using Akira....I'll almost never use 2P, mainly because of recovery and damage output.

I think everybody that uses VF characters use 2P a lot.

I understand that not everyone's 2P is equally good. Even so, the purpose of a 2P is not because you want damage. It is mainly used as a quick high crush or a 'get off me' tool when an opponent is trying to pressure you. It is also a quick and safe way to finish off your opponent if they have very low health.

@Hazard that's true but how many people use VF characters anyway? xD

Forgot to mention, another purpose of 2P is to pop some characters out of their stance to interrupt their momentum. Examples would be using 2P to interrupt Helena's Bokuho, Christie's Jakeiho, Rig's Bending Stance and Hayabusa's Ongyoin stance.

The get out of jail free Card. 2p is so good with akira.

@KING JAIMY Good point.

I think I will make a thread on this later. A lot if not all of the characters' 2P are not to be ignored since it is such a valuable asset.

Mila's 2P is +1 on NH. Gotta love it
