ITS THOSE CHALLENGE MODE COMBOS!!!
=D
Great thread, good read, repped.
stickied!
thnx jinrai
Man, that j.hk, st.hk, cr.sh , exr.u, c.lp x 2, headbutt is hard to pull off. I’m always in Challenge mode Hard trail 5 trying to get my ex.ru to link with c.lp c.lp, headbutt. I pulled it off in a game at the arcade and I got alot of props for that. 
crowd pleaser yeah?
not to brag, but you should hear the crowd when i did unloaded the whole loop after landing the challenge 5 combo + ultra on my friend with a 12 win streak. I even taunted after the headbutt for laughs.
21 hits. JACK SHIT DAMAGE. MAD PROPS LOL
thanks jinrai for the sticky 
I would say that’s bragging.
It’s OK though, you’re allowed to 
LOL damn you saw through that fake modesty. but cmon done in a live match? i wish i had that recorded And its not like you guys can’t do it soon, I played rog from october so If i couldnt do these things by now, I’d have given up :<
theres loads of guys better than me in hong kong :’< My rog is the only toon that can survive a round at SF4 ground zero during prime times (where all the stressed up white collars come down and rape us a new one) Most notably:
Blanka/Gief/Ryu/Bison/Viper/Chun/Fuerte/Sagat/Guile/
Like, I actually stress up fighting these guys. (the chun player’s a chick) and hell, I never stress at all =/
I’ve been doing it live if playing among friends is live >_>
Also, how about compiling a list as to what the options are vs each character after an overhead?
Just a simple c.lk, or c.mp or c.rh is fine since the followup is always headbutt->ultra if possible.
If you’d add it to your opening post I’ll volunteer to make the list myself.
by live i mean arcade. im much more arcade oriented for rog/bison/viper, whereas cammy is my console counterpart. I actually stay in training mode more than online. ps3 online networking is pretty bad imo. Xbox competition is much more worthy with their lobby systems and stuff. ima lurker on my ps3 :<
Guile: OH ~ c.mp xx HB (EXOH ~ c.lk xx hb only works if MEATIEST + corner)
Balrog: OH ~ C.RH (EXOH ~ c.lk xx hb only works during an absorb, but whiffs on crouch)
Sagat: OH ~ C.RH (OH ~ c.mp xx hb whiffs on crouch, OH ~ c.lk <-- whiffs)
Blanka: OH ~ c.lk xx DSP (HB whiffs on crouch)
I think those are the dodgy hitboxes i remember. everyone else can be hit with the generic OH ~ c.lk/c.mp xx HB. Note, c.mp does 30 more damage. the c.mp variant does 298 dmg where c.lk variant does 268.
Actually I’m finding some people whiffing headbutts like cammy =\
Well I’m doing the whole cast anyway. I’m bored
oh yeah, i havent tried stuff with the new cast. go nuts.
and sorry if i sound cold on PSN, LOL i’d reply if i had a keyboard
OVERHEAD FOLLOWUP LIST
For each character, I listed the optimal followup.
On some characters, c.mp might hit, but the headbutt will whiff in which case I only listed c.lk xx headbutt
We can all agree that c.lk xx headbutt is better than c.mp xx DSP due to the knockdown above all anyway
The overhead itself gives +10 hit adv so c.lk isn’t too hard to link since it hits on the 4th frame and c.mp hits on the 7th so there is quite a bit of leeway in timing.
C.rh hits on the 8th though so get double tapping just to make sure.
c.lk/c.mp xx headbutt
Fei Long, Gouken,E.Honda, Zangief, Dictator/M. Bison, Abel
c.lk xx headbutt
Akuma, Ryu, Ken, Dhalsim, Chun Li, Claw/Vega, C.Viper, Rufus, Sakura, Rose, Dan
C.mp xx headbutt
Guile wtf
c.lk/c.mp xx DSP
Blanka
c.mp xx DSP
Cammy, Sagat
c.rh
Seth, Boxer/Balrog, El Fuerte, Gen
i’ll incorporate that on the front page with your credits if thats cool
Go ahead :o
done. this list gets bigger and bigger i updated some stuff on recommend combos to link ultras, and what not to link ultras.
I don’t know where to post this, a guy last night did what i think was tap > dash punch. It was almost like a link, and he would follow with jabs.
The tap > dash punch I blocked, but I don’t know if it would have hit as combo
Also, is there any around his jab spam?
jab him back 
It’s not a combo, you can’t link it. I’ve been using the TAP to dash punch for the last 2 days. I purposely make the tap whiff and I catch them with the dash by surprise a lot of the times. You just have to make sure they dont have ultra or ex meter to be safe.
I’m doing pretty good so far and that’s without the headbutt to ultra combo since I’m horrible with the xbox controller. Great thread, thx for all this great info.
Don’t his crouching jabs give him great positive frames though?
sit outside jab range.
SMACK HIMM WITH C.MP
hit confirm EXRU blah blah xx hoo-heh-heh ~ NO ESCAPE!!
Hey, Ephe —
For pressure purposes, or the surprise element, is there any move we can use to SADC/FADC into grab? I been thinking about this after I’ve seen a few fights where some of the higher level players were doing it… What do we have that has enough advantage to allow us to do it?
Or is this a pointless idea?
dash straights mostly. no notable normals i’d choose to SADC into a throw unless shit is tight and tension is nigh, and i know hes gonna block my c.hk.
block dash straights or hit dash straights are safe enough to SADC. exRU and RU has too much utility and i hardly use the non-EX counterpart. dash sweeps will take good reason to know whether your opponent is going to block low to SADC. its all about reaction really, but if you ask me, dash straights are the best punch to SADC just because its safe whether block or hit. i dash cancel meaty taps to throw too, but not too often.
just learn to make those calls when the situation requires you to step up. doing it too often just results in a hungry meter. i actually believe balrog has too much meter (having so many combos and such) that SADC to meter dump is a good idea, but only in the above sitatutions i reckon.
