Moves Analysis

Losing the claw makes all punch attack (including specials) to do a little less damage. Also, Ground normals and some Specials will have worse priority.

A crouching upwards-angled claw. This is decent anti-air against people with low jumps like Zangief or Balrog, and you keep your charges too.

A quick knee. Different animation than Far Short, but works the same.

Stun Timer	?

Stun	?
Stun Timer	?
Chain Cancel	No
Special Cancel	Yes
Frame Advantage	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	?	?
Simplified		?				?	?

A very useful low kick. You can always link another Crouching Forward or a Crouching Strong after this to keep opponents at your preferred distance. You can whiff these on purpose if they like to Psychic DP your claw pokes.

• Close Standing Roundhouse:

Damage	?
Stun	?
Stun Timer	?
Chain Cancel	No
Special Cancel	No
Frame Advantage	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?

High claw attack. Not useful.

• Neutral Jumping Strong:

Same animation as J.Jab. This has some use in air-to-air vs. high jumpers like Chun Li or M.Bison.

• Diagonal Jumping Strong:

Damage + Claw	?
Stun	?~?
Stun Timer	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	∞
Simplified		?		?	∞

Same animation as J.Jab. Not too good because of its mediocre priority.

• Neutral Jumping Fierce:

Damage + Claw	?
Stun	?~?
Stun Timer	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	∞
Simplified		?		?	∞

Vega's aerial move with better horizontal priority. Can beat a lot ait-to-air by anticipation.

Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	?	∞
Simplified		?		?	∞

Good combo opener, very good priority and hits low to the ground, making it excellent for safe jumps.

• Neutral Jumping Short:

Damage	?
Stun	?~?
Stun Timer	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	∞

A worse version of NJ.Forward but with more attacking frames. Avoid this move.

Low range, low damage, not very useful.

Counters a lot of special moves like Honda's Torpedo or Blanka's Horizontal Ball.

• Diagonal Jumping Forward:

Damage	?
Stun	?~?
Stun Timer	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	∞

It's not a bad move, it has a decent priority, but since Fierce is straight better then use that instead.

Stun	?~?
Stun Timer	?
Frame Count		?	?	?	?	?	?	∞

Like the DJ.Rh but with bigger hitbox.

Best jumping attack with decent range.
