Nice. A notable thing you missed out on was b1. B1 was a mid which comboed into WGF on hit for a mid high, 39 damage launch (the WGF could be performed with a simple df2). B1 was also safe on block (it was -8 so only some characters could punish it on its own) and Devil Jin could optionally transition into CD for a whole slew of mixups on block. B1 WGF was uninterruptible on block for 10 frame jab characters and B1, WR3 was something you could do easily (UF3 gave you WR3) for very strong pressure if the opponent didn’t avoid the WR3. The WR3 also went over lows. And to top it all off, B1 had a lot of tracking to both sides so it could very easily tech roll catch into a powerful launch. It was pretty strong to say the least and it's the main thing 5.0 (and 5.1) DJ have over DR DJ.
I guess one downside DJ has which isn’t that is that his jab is 10 frames in a game where some characters have 8 frame jabs, which naturally limits his punish and pressure game compared to those 8 frame jab characters, especially if he is fighting an 8 frame jab character.
Interesting fact: Both Jin and DJ d+1 are CPU killer in TK4 (for Jin obviously) and TK5+TK5DR. For some reason, even for Ultra Hard CPU, they refused to block it 90% of the time and for DJ, it was an easy 80% combo because you can follow it up by flying laser since the CPU REFUSES TO TECH ROLL!!!
The CPU would nearly always crouch to try to block that move, as if it were a low. I suppose it was programmed to crouch block the d+1 input since it was a dick jab for the rest of the cast.
@@fustiancorduroy The funniest stuff was the CPU reaction to the meaty after getting knock down from it. Like Jin, it was a guaranteed scissor kick while for DJ, it was both flying laser and scissor kick.
Steve, Nina Bryan are fairly conclusively top 3. You have a bunch of characters would could go after them. Feng, Devil Jin, Ganryu and maybe characters like Heihachi and Law.
Pretty much all of them. Ironically, one of his best tools in this game didn't get mentioned in the video, but it's one of the things that didn't make it to DR, his b+1~CD
