Frame Data
Since 2B ? 2D has a gap 4F, opp can not jump,
2D ? 6B ? C Thunder Braid ? 2B is not broken by normal technique because all gaps are 3F.
A Thunder Fist is also connected when it hits from a strong attack, and a gap of 1 F is available when guarding.
Since it is 2 hits, it is possible to SC confirmed hit by itself.
& Nbsp;
