Normal Move
Evaluation
Crouching Light Kick (Jab Flicker) is a low-hitting normal that chains out of LP strings and is one of Ed's tools for enforcing low/throw mix-ups. At 6 frames, it is quick enough to serve as an alternative to 2LP in close-range pressure. Its low hit forces the opponent to crouch, setting up throw attempts or overhead threats.
How to Use
- Low mix-up: After LP pressure, 2LK adds a low option that pushes the opponent to maintain crouch-block, opening up throw opportunities.
- Chain combo: LP → 2LK → 623MP (LP→2LK → Psycho Uppercut) is a light-starter combo that delivers a knockdown with a safe-jump follow-up (Kill Rush → +8F).
- Pressure extension: 2LK keeps the blockstring going without spending Drive Gauge, useful when you want to save resources.
