first round was scary after you missed punishment on that srk you baited.

good stuff.

yea, I just switched over to a different grip and still getting used to it… however this dude’s timing is very very good, its extremely difficult to predict what he’s doing on my wake up… cant dash his grabs (must jump), gotta focus the splash (sometimes dashing works).

man so lucky to get to play them

vs gouki matchup is deffinetly 7-3 (if they know how to abuse his roundhouse)

There is just no getting out of it :confused:

The only gouki in the states that can consistently abuse the roundhouse loop is santhrax imo, and after you play him you immediatly notice how this matchup is just rediculously lopsided.

His mixup -> yours, his wakeup -> MILES over yours, his rushdown is also ahead of yours. And to top it off he gets a crazy combo/knockdown after a hit roundhouse… there really is no sure way to beat a good gouki, just capitalize on his mistakes (if he makes any)

SPD/Throw/Utra/Super out of roll = Sound’s like your rolling randomly

Lariat stuffing wheel kick = Wheel kicking too closely/not using proper spacing because a properly spaced wheel kick stuffs lariats

SPD/Ultra’d/Supered CoD = You gotta hit confirm them shits son.

St. MP is your friend.

Issei’s Akuma is stupid good too. RH combos are automatic.

This Akuma right here… He abuses that RH kick vs abel (this isn’t my abel) all day, no idea how to escape it but check some of his matches… quite the monster…

Once you get hit by that first s.rh, you cant escape that shit unless the akuma messes up his execution. A good akuma will always end that combo with a sweep and then fuck you up with demon flip mixups or any other bullshit akuma mixups. One of the many reasons why that matchup is retarded (its getting only slightly below the retard level of the gief matchup for me)

edit: lol just watched the vid, i dont think that video showed what akuma is capable of doing against abel at all(there’s no abuse of s.rh combos in that vid etc)… tbh both players’re pretty meh.

fixed:smile:

but seriously, Wheel Kick distance is key, its one of the best weapons against him.

Slow Lariat = block first 2 and EX CoD if u can.

the Roll is insanely broken vs Gief, on Wake up if Gief crosses up, he can SPD you out of Roll(EX too) even if you Rolling away, you’ll magically teleport back to his loving arms.

and Lp Tornado throw beats every Gief throw

seriously, any character with insane Roundhouses are problems for Abel

Nothing beats the insanity of akuma’s s.RH against abel, its just as depressing as when you get knocked down by a gief :rofl:. Sagat’s? You can stuff that with j.lp or a CH c.mk. Dictator? You can CH c.mk that too or EX CoD.

Justin wong playing abel. The last match vs Dictator is ridiculous rushdown

abe starts at 2:30 here
Ummm I never knew we could just simple forward kick boxers dash punch. even the announcer is like… HUH?

LP Tornado beats? Well fuck, I was using HP the entire time.

its not just lp tornado… you can use lp/mp/fp and it will beat it (as long as you are in the range for the grab).

I contoinue to have no clue how to answer or combat this guy and much less do ANYTHING against Charge charachters.

Hmmm, you said you missed the ultra after the cr. HP but why did you press RH kick? You failed to punish his cr. RH slide with TT. Why would you do st. Jab > Tornado throw while the opponent is in the air? I dunno…I don’t really understand a lot of what you did. It seemed like you were playing on automatic b/c everything just looked so random and messy. That bison player seemed to play pretty scrubby too. =\

You can punish his psycho crusher with a st. Fierce or a throw or tornado throw? You kept on using wheel kick from too close up where Bison’s st. MK and HK beats it everytime. You mistimed a lot of your TT…you could’ve tried using EX TT when your opponent was pressuring you with blockstrings more. You had a FULL super meter with 4 bars at the end of round 1 but didn’t use any focus dash cancel or EX moves throughout the entire 3 round match. You could’ve landed j. MK > cr. MP > COD combo but instead you were content with j. MK > spam cr. LP/LK into ??? which totally limited your damage output.

For the record, those announcers were idiots.

Since dash punch leaves Rog at -3 on block, the only reason reversal TT worked was because he was just sitting there afterwards/hitting buttons right? I never bothered trying it because of the frame data, but I guess that could work once in awhile…or only on shitty rogs.

you can do any move to beat it, it has nothing to do with priority (liek the announcers were saying). simply tag boxer before his dash punch becomes active.
