This move is a great anti air and is quick. Its not safe but just as a Shoryuken expect it to happen as a reversal if your against Kitana. Its nowhere near safe on block and shouldn't be used for much more then an anti-air or punish. The EX version hits 2x and also has armor this is much more for a reversal on wakeup then its normal counter part. But using it often as a wakeup reversal isn't recommended because it is most definitely meter consuming. The EX version seems to be much more of a combo ender then an extender.
