The issue with BT2K getting that trip stun is if it's within "NH" for close range (which is rare). It's not often you get NH trip unless they choose to sit there and block. Specially with P+K since the actual move is a GB with negative properties. A common scenario for negative GBs is why wouldn't they attack since you are at -7, but Jann Lee has pushback to avoid certain moves for this with P+K, however going for the BT2K immediately from a move such as P+K is simply asking to get hit in a stun if the opponent chooses to go for mids that closes gaps, especially mids with deep stuns and multiple strings attached. Also to mention that if the opponent chooses to go for the high/certain mids and you went for the BT2K you are more than likely to get the side knockdown instead of the trip stun because you landed BT2K on "CH" from a close distance due to the opponent hitting buttons for doing so. (Unless they whiff one jab and choose to block after, which is seldom random at best.), specially for P+K of course I mean. If Jann had a neutral attack that left him BT, I can see BT2K for positive uses. He does have PP4P which puts him at -5 so perhaps there, but even that's dangerous since it's added light negatives to where it's a read from Jann Lee and 'hopefully' the opponent makes a mistake after it.
Unless Jann has a move that puts him at neutral or advantage for going BT, I can see why people would use BT2K...however the likelyhood of getting the trip stun from BT2K is pretty rare, especially with a character who is not often backturned because there is this high probability they would attack you for it, players in general just do minus Brad who has low hitting stuns from BT that are +1 and greater and higher for CH scenarios and free cancelling. Specially P+K or any moves that leave him at light negatives puts Jann Lee in a situation where he has to make a read, and reads especially for BT situations is tough unless they mindlessly mash expecting for the best. This is generally tough against characters such as Christie, Pai and Kasumi who have mid part strings with extra follow ups that can catch Jann for it because the move is i15 at best. Shin Ryujin would likely tell you guys the same thing.
Yeah, Bayman's BT2K crushes certain mids as well. My only problem with certain BT moves is that they are majority singular (majority of the characters are like that too) with the second problem is that these particular moves suffer from mids with multiple natural mid strings with the low won't having the time to connect. A move I tested with PP4P > BT2K has wonders where if they wait a bit too late it would go under the mid but will put them via side knockdown due to CH, however if they instantly perform a mid the moment the string is over or during a whiff recovery while going into BT2K they can catch Jann immediately with a mid up close and won't crush it due to frame amounts from BT going back forward. Still, I'll check the thread. Was hoping Jann would have a BT move that leaves him at -1 or neutral for lows, though TN might believe it would be too good I suppose.
