I don't think so, more so a trap if they DI the right way. If they crouch cancel the jab I think it works better.

Abate makes it look pretty consistent. When he does does jab into up B , he's hit confirming that right?Not at all. Depends on DI and whether you're coming out of a WD and % and so forth.
Okay. I just watched him play some more. He doesn't hit confirm the jab into up B, he simply just inputs jab into up B. Why jab before up B though? Why not just up B? Is it for the hit stun?It's cause he reads how the opponent will react to a jab, and punishes by Shoryuken. It's not a guaranteed combo, since the opponent can get out of it, but it is a frame trap if the opponent reacts wrong I think. It's a surprise so Abate can get a lot of people with it.
But it doesn't look like abate takes his time to see if they sheild or not. In his match with duck at tbh5 he jabbed and up B'ed his sheild. Do you have time to see if they'll sheild after a jab?Hit stun, and to see if they shield. Cause Up B on Shield can be punished.
