So this isn't anything new, but I thought it was something worth discussing nonetheless. So I'm sure many of you have had the following happen to you; You trade moves with an opponent, resulting in some strange momentum that sends one/both of you flying off in either direction. The following video is an example of this shift in momentum.
What we're looking at here is what happens at the beginning of the video of course, so the actual snapback combo isn't important. This isn't the only case in which a similar shift in momentum will occur, but I provide this as an example because it can be easily reproduced. Now I believe this particular momentum shift only works if you trade hits with hornet bomber AND hit the opponent's current active character with the snapback. I also don't know of any other specific scenarios in which this will work, but I know they exist.
But what I really want to ask from you guys is if you think there's any utility in this. In it's current state I don't see much utility here, but as far as I know it also hasn't been explored all that much. Perhaps it has utility in a PBGC against opponents who mixup with assists, or perhaps there are other situations in which this may be applicable that I'm not thinking of. It may even be a decent option if you simply practice it enough. Anyways, any thoughts?
