Introduction Sean recovers from a jump faster than most characters in the game, only having 1 frame of landing recovery as opposed to 2 and a overall shorter jump animation when its played out.  Frame data Sean has 2 different safe-jumps that are possible: +37 advantage +38 advantage With that in mind, I wanted to see about Meatying with max range late J. HK so that I get the most advantage and meter I can get while still maintaining some semblance of safety on offense. As Sean jumps its either: Empty Jump  Late J. HK If they QS then the options are: Cr. MK x EX Tornado or SA1/3 Sweep UOH Cr. LK DED (when applicable)  Kara Throw If they don't and the late J.HK whiffs, the options are: Whiff Jab - Cl.HK (Meaty) UOH Character LP Dragon Smash MP Dragon Smash HP Dragon Smash EX Dragon Smash  Chun-Li x Whiff St. LK then Jump Forward x x Yun Wait a frame then Jump Forward x x x Ken Wait a few frames then Jump Forward x x x Makoto Whiff St. LK...

To further optimize things, I decided to log down the amount of time Sean gets on his KND's (not counting SA2 since taunt oki and Wheel Kick knockdowns are far in between and it varies depending on the height they get smacked down from) Hadou Burst Sean isn't granted the amount of time of okizeme as say, Gouki but he does get time to set some things up. The amount of time Sean gets off of quick cancel is set in stone but if he late cancels off a Cr. MK at max range, he gets rewarded with extra frames of time to set something up. Urien - +60 on knockdown normally          - +62 if Cr. LK Cr. LK x St. LP or max range late cancelled Cr. MK (mid screen standing)          - +64 if max range Cr. MK (midscreen crouching)          - +63 if max range late cancelled Cr. MK (cornered crouching) Oro/Elena - +39 on knockdown normally        - +43 if max range Cr. MK or Cr. LKx2 (midscreen...
