Question - Liu Kang Was Liu's D2 always this good?

I've always labbed Liu's D2 in order to see what it beats. Ever since the previous patch, where it's hit-box was buffed, it has been a very good D2. I've also tested against Sub's j1 before, since it has such a vertical hit-box. However, I do not recall it's hit-box reaching this far behind him. Is this a stealth buff to his D2? Perhaps a stealth buff to all D2's? Is this a result of jump in punches being normalized? Or Has it always been this way?

I can't vouch for LK but I main Kung Jin and his down two seems much better at aa's than before. Possibly just the new netcode but either way it's a nice fix. Hopefully aa's across the board get better.

All hail emperor Liucifer Kang!
His d2 animation is supposed to actually turn around when Sub is crossing him up, but its not for some reason.

I can testify that Bartitsu's D2 has an insane hitbox from behind.

I kinda feel like Reptile's got better too. I can consistently use it now. Seems D2 has been given more priority all around.
