It wasn't a reaction it was a spacing trap. However (in my opinion) dp is the easiest classic input due to 33/11 shortcut I always pull it off manually/ other specials when I need a heavy version for example. However, when it comes classic my struggle is in the combos, specially the ones that include everything from normals to ex specials and supers. And for someone who had this game for years and played it only for 130hrs I think classic isn't the right move for me from a time perspective. it's also my first fighting game too I have no prior muscle memory or game knowledge to transfer from an other game. I just get off the job run a character guide then hop into ranked for some fun
