#2–Against good players they will mix in FA>Backdash and then rape you for whiffing EX Karakusa.
Because of this I don’t (personally) condone EX Kara when jumping into a Focus attack. I think its better to just block and EX Hayate their backdash, *block the FA, and IAT their subsequent attack, or Backdash to safety and punish their FA whiff with Yamase/Dash up Karakusa.
Unless of course they are predictable then sure go ahead and knock your self out because, well, see #1.
Only exception is if they already let it go while you’re in the air and its not level 3. You have plenty of time to confirm this while you’re still in the air, if they let it go you will grab them. Although, i have seen someone try this before on my Makoto and I let it go, and still was able to backdash. Their EX Karakusa whiff met with my own Karakusa>U1.
Can’t argue with your logic, you definitely need to mix it up because if you always back dash after they focus they can fadc instead of letting it rip and blow you up. I guess a good player will adjust after you grab him once, but diago proved last night (with all those baited up kicks against poongko) that you can catch even the best slipping
I can’t really describe it perfectly, but does anyone know the inputs for doing a fukikage when your opponent tries to cross-over. I’ve heard of something like this before, but I forgot about it.
Played an hour and some set with Mossad last night. Won about 6 out of 25 or so. Saw a few things he holds over me that I really need to practice. Gotta practice kara kara. Gotta get more aware of when we are almost in a corner so I can get that ex hayate damage. Dash more under jumping opponents…
Good shit V-Ryu. Not gonna lie, I’ve learned A LOT of setups from you . Please continue to post your findings, you’re pretty much developing this character single-handedly, again, good shit.
I’ll try to post some setups I’ve came up with soon. I also want to post up some in-depth match-up theories I have. I’m not big on creating setups, but at least I can digest a match step by step with common scenarios and answers to those scenarios. I laugh at people who say Makoto has no footsies… I think she has some of the most rewarding in the game.
My problem before about FAs was I kept buffer poking with MP Hayate and EX Hayate against FA spammers and, of course, that gets blown up. Now I’m much more wary and am trained to LP Hayate buffer poke when they reveal themselves for the FA whores they are. That and neutral jump/empty jump more.
yes, many players considered me as best european player, but I stopped at the end of Slash (didn’t play accent core at all).
I used I-no <3 <3 <3 <3 (and Eddie in XX).
