Delay the punch button.
Once you get it a few times, you’ll see how different the timing is compared to a true tiger knee move. I don’t have any problems doing it after a palm, demon or just off the ground at all, but I still occasionally screw it up after DFT, dash for whatever reason. Jumping jab ftl.
Repeat resets are shennanigans. Even the best fall for them at least once.

At 7:50, all could think was “why didn’t he just change it up and go for the throw??”.
Not exactly. “Exploding Heart Technique” refers to a sequence including the forward throw, like the classic FWD Throw, Dash x 2 which before AE 2012 was a huge part of Akuma’s arsenal. It’s still effective in some matchups, but after the throw nerf in the last patch, the “classic” exploding heart tech is not at the center of our gamplan anymore.
@ Nevermore: yeah, I know. this is what I was saying really. You could get away with it once if you can get inside your opponent’s mind even if he is much better than you. Heck, last night I did it against a 14K Vega and boooooooooooooooooyyyyyyyy… Was he salty afterwards!!!
I was lucky though and I knew it. Had I not got into his head, I wouldnt’ have land the final DF grab into the corner. With chip left, I walked in, took a step back and did EX SRK. He blocked with pixels left… He lost. He proceeded to beat the snot out of the me next too matches and I could feel the disturbance in the force as the salt was flowing through him…
Any tips on gameplan vs. Abel? Like, at what distances to be scared and whatnot.
his f:mk: range is a redzone
My plan vs Abel = Mash dat far roundhouse lol and vortex fuck him, yeah I know good ones can punish it but the move is still amazingly useful in this matchup. Standing jab is also very useful for getting the knockdown after a connected far roundhouse or for punishing his specials (e.g his overhead thing) since Abel has a ridiculously large hitbox.
Ibuki’s Kazegiri how the fuck do we punish this annoying thing?
I understand focus but what if they don’t Kunai?
I use U2 and am goin to play around with this tomorrow but anyone know anything yet?
Pretty sure you can just focus and release when they are about to land.
not sure if the range of our focus will reach.
Though this move isn’t used much by Ibukis cause a backdash on reaction isn’t too hard and equals a free combo.
Our focus does reach and releasing it as they land works to punish.

Our focus does not crumple her if there is no Kunai.
After testing you can dash forward once and punish her regardless of follow up. Only problem is you need to react fairly quickly.
Seems distant dependent as well.
Ok my bad I thought we were talking about the special when she step in our face…
Empty jump in, st:hp: bnb <-- don’t work if no kunai
FA lvl2 <-- works with or without kunai but need to be very fast to release it before she recover and get a crumple, lose to ex kunai maybe.
cr:mk: OS ex tatsu <-- works with medium and hard kunai (they whiff) and without kunai at point blank. So, if kunai you’ll whiff and have time for a bnb, if light kunai you’ll get hit.
Walk forward works pretty well no matter the mix of kunai and even if you’re at range but not too much. you have to cross down her and wait, wait wait to avoid reseting her.
Cross up tatsu -> sweep or shoryu works also on any ex Kaze and any kunai mix. Tatsu reset her in air and you follow with what you want. Can’t test it with a Ex Kaze xx Super as I fail at doing this shit.
Can’t you just FA forward dash kunai or no kunai? Either way you will absorb it and get a free punish?
Hey would someone be able to link me or just reply to me with an updated list of who akuma can l.tatsu > sweep
Hey just to be sure, when you guys play against AI master mode, you do lose some right ?? Zangief and Seth in arcade mode master level are so ridiculous. This teleport is freaking fast compared to the one I try in training with seth.
Why would you bother playing the AI?
Because it’s this or online for me. No choice.
And when I do my Online session I use arcade mode with challenger On. So I have some matches against AI while waiting an opponent.
