So, I’m learning Chun this month and welcome any strats/pointers from those who are seasoned playing with her OR against her. Meantime, I will try to gain some pointers from older match vids by seeing what has worked for well-known, tourney Chun players. Some that I am aware of:
Just some stuff I found on Youtube featuring Nuki’s Chun. I’m playing Chun atm and trying to learn some good stuff. I’ll be back to just post up some of the tricks/tools I learned from these vids alone.
tokido doesn’t have as elegant of solutions to allot of the matchups as rikimaru and MOV do. there is allot more to learn from their styles.
as for justin wong he plays a really patient turtle chun, not much to see in terms of strategy or matchups.
both wong and tokido use more the natural advantages of chun + great hit confirm skills to get them through most matches. you need more than that if you really wanna tear it up!
the list for best chuns in japan pretty much goes Nuki, MOV, Rikimaru.
amir is balls to the walls chun rushdown which you can learn allot from also.
you should watch some match vids and see for yourself.
so yeah they are better, but more importantly their is more to see from them.
I enjoy learning a bit by noting HOW a player landed a hit and WHEN. Also HOW and WHEN a player dealt chip damage. I’ll first note the WHEN’s and then, at a later time when I can, note HOW. This approach also reveals a bit on strategy.
Nuki (Chun Li) v RX (Urien)
*the times are when Nuki either HIT RX or CHIPPED RX
judge_rl, you should watch rikimaru at SBO 07 for some good matches of his. he OCV’d KO’s team! any match of his should be pretty good though.
oh and most chun’s don’t jump that much because she doesn’t have to. you really only have to dash to crossup people after jab resets on jump ins or as they quickrise. everyone else you can pretty much walk under their jump ins to cross them up. shotos you have to dash right as they go for a crossup mk to get under but the idea is still the same.
if you are used to jumping allot i would just ban yourself from jumping with chun for a while till you get her ground game down, she has the strongest ground game in all of 3s!
Not like Justin Wong isn’t winning…and he is probably way better than you (though I don’t know you). Don’t get me w[r]ong (haha x_X) I don’t think his style is nice to watch or anything but he has some success so you can definately learn from him.
edit: now I got the point of the Rep system. Idiots who can’t have a proper discussion are just paying for neg repping anyone contradicting them. Quite pathetic. Not like I cared or anything but seriously…it won’t make your point valid. It won’t make you smarter and yes against widely held belief it won’t enlarge your dick.
First off, I’ve never claimed to be an important 3s player, but I do enjoy stomping out people who think too much of themselves.
Second, who are you losing to in Japan? I’ll bet it’s not SBO level players. I’ll bet its just random mid tier arcade players. Just like America, there are scrubs and pros, and mid tier players in Japan, and I’d bet Jwong could beat a whole lot more of them than you could.
