Something you can do if your execution is on point:

! No longer available

So Antonov didn't really get "fixed" in 2.0, but got health and damage buffs.

His main tools remain poke xx grab mixups, which is point character tactics, but now he's also a huuge meter spender

The one thing you can do with cl.D's Force Stand property:

cl.D, df+C, qcb+D (2 hit) for 207 dmg and +2f nice and close.

Chang 's best anti roll-out OS would be cr.A, f+ Mash C (AB cancelled ofc).

Sadly any s.B cancels lose to jabs (except some EX moves).

Ok, so if you feint cancel a f+A in between you can actually blow up jabs with either option.

Awesome! Some of those seem practical enough (or at least damaging enough, holy moly) that I'll have to pick 'em up myself.

Sadly any s.B cancels lose to jabs (except some EX moves).

cr.B on the other hand frametraps into itself, and at max range f+A and hcb+D will whiff punish jabs.

[Added:]

Some move properties:

s.D starts a juggle. MAX cancel it for damaging anti-air combos.

qcb+C has high auto-guard, but is too slow and unsafe to be useful.

qcb+AC has high-mid autoguard and can actually blow stuff up.

dp+AC is a 4f reversal.

qcfx2+BD is a 9f reversal.

Added:

air qcf+AC negates projectiles and must be blocked low.

My BnB's:

j.D, cr.A, cr.A, Mash P (200) xx qcfx2+C (404) 0/1 bar, anywhere

j.D, cr.A, cr.A, hcb,f+P (251) 0 bar, anywhere

cr.C, b_f+C (193) xx qcfx2+C (414)  0/1 bar, punisher

s.CD, cr.C, b_f+A, Mash P (305) xx qcfx2+C (483) / qcfx2+AC (550) / Climax (630) 0/1/2/3 bar, corner

(same as above but starting from CH j.CD instead, 359/536/.../..., deep corner)

CH j.CD, Mash P (145) xx qcfx2+C (425) / qcfx2+AC (510) / Climax (620) 0/1/2/3 bar, corner

cl.C, MAX, Mash AC (189) 1 bar, overhead, anywhere

Empty jump, cl.B, hcb,f+P (182) low, anywhere

Mindblowing stuff!

Especially comboing after the random Ranbu enders. Oh man...

Ryo's combo dmg has seen some breakthroughs recently:

cl.C, f+A, MAX, cl.D, qcf+AC, hcb+BD, dp+A, cr.C, df+B (379 + reset) 1 bar, anywhere
cl.C, f+A, MAX, cl.D, qcf+AC, hcb+BD, dp+C xx EX Ranbu (576) 3 bar in 1st pos, 2 bar in 2nd*/3rd pos, anywhere

cl.C, f+A, MAX, cl.D, qcf+AC, hcb+D!, dp+A, cr.C, df+B (407 + reset) 1 bar, corner
cl.C, f+A, MAX, cl.D, qcf+AC, hcb+D!, dp+A xx EX Ranbu (601) 2 bar, corner

Patch changes:

s.A - increased prio
s.C - wallsplats and super cancels
cr.A - better speed, prio and cancel window, now links into itself
cr.C - better prio, also launches
Slide - damage up to 80 (from 65?)
Mash P - 10 extra dmg, you can now piano A&C buttons, EX hits OTG!
Command grab - more range
qcfx2+A - -20 damage on the way up, faster recovery, hard knockdown
qcfx2+C - no more invincibility, -20dmg on the way up, but always does 2 hits now, hard knockdown
qcfx2+AC - less damage, hard knockdown
Climax - connects fully on airborne

Well, every post that isn't by Truly can be deleted if need be TBH.

Dude, the slash kick is the 4th hit of his Rush combo

Since every one of Maxima's specials and supers causes hard knockdowns, there should be lot's of setups to be made.

Though all I've gotten down is:

corner combo...qcb+A -> whiff s.A -> full jump C safejump vs 3f reversals.

Great stuff! Especially liked the first one since it both looked practical and had two spins in it
