Ask 801 Strider

I have two problems:

  1. After i get someone really good with the abel tricks i have at my disposal they start running, and i have a hard time keeping them pinned down.

  2. On the other hand some guys come in on me so hard with normals and only normals. The ones that are smart about it dont seem to have an opening. When i dont have meter i feel helpless and sometimes i feel helpless when i do.

Yes… Drunk James is the best James

Never mind that juicebox gave me a great explanation.

Would you mind sharing the info? :slight_smile:

I’m gonna finally hook myself up this holiday with a capture card to start recording all the cheapness that is Abel. I honestly have like 20+ setups in writing since i went to SBO last year downloaded from nekojita.

I’m excited to finally put them in video :slight_smile:

Also, after getting blown up by Rufus (specifically Justin and Ricky, i don’t lose to other Rufus players) the last few majors, i finally decided to go in the lab and figure EVERYTHING out about this MU, including cheap setups and better defensive options. After almost a week of grind, i have to say that I’m pretty happy w/ the results. I’ll record the vids to the tech when i get a hold of that capture card

When should you stay infront on a roll mixup and when should you cross up? Is it just to keep your opponent guessing or is there distinct advantages to the sides besides a bit of frame advantage on the front roll?

I feel like i’ve heard this before…

When Strider’s greatest hits comes out, I’m buying it on blu-ray.

by then we’ll have next generation movie disks :frowning:

Yeah, u have. There was someone here that was “supposed” to record for me, never happened, so i let it go. Now I’m getting my own equipment

I believe… :coffee: shots were fired.

Strider, Kazunoko thinks Abel vs Yun is perhaps Yun’s best matchup (on par with Yun vs Dhalsim). Do you agree? Did you get to play him at CC?

I didn’t get to play him, unfortunately. I did get to play Kaiser (best Yun in Singapore) and did pretty good against him.

Personally, i think the MU is 5-5. Kazu bodies Nekojita for free though, but i don’t think it’s the match-up, i think Kazu is a better player

assumming the yun is playing correctly. shit can actually feel 6-4. even 7-3. srsly. yun controls the pace from the beginning. and by playing yun correctly, i mean pretty much exactly the same prior to 2012 lol. they can still do lunge punch shenanigans if they are spaced and dive kick nerf don’t mean shit if the yun knows how to space them(which is easy vs abel cause of his slow walk speed). Plus the dive kicks are still fast, like yun can still bait cr tech with neutral jmp light dive kick and it still hits(altho it is now slow enuf where characters with fast cr shorts can recover in time like bison).

However, because of his low health(like 2-3 mixups and he dead or stunned) and his lower dmg output(he needs like 5-6 on abel), it is now 5-5…at worst 5.5-4.5. It is kind of like vs seth, the dude CAN’T mess up. And if you get a good ex TT on him, it may very well be over. I call this a “weather the storm” type matchup cuz all you can do is get pressured nonstop until an opening hpns and do dat ex TT or Cod. Matchup is mad hard for abel if he has no meter tho…

definitely this matchup is NOWHERE near as easy as yun vs sim or akuma. Once yun is knocked down by abel(bound to hpn lol) they generally have the fear of god instilled upon them. maybe not kazunoko because he just believes he the best?

but yeah. taz what i think

Does this mean it won’t be until after Christmas?
A month? :crybaby:

Not me right? :3

Though you did share some stuff with me.

Lol not you

I’m waiting for the videos!!

Are the options you “discovered” or principles transferable to other matchups against divekick chars or other aggressive ones? Like Yun and Cammy

Just go up to andy’s to record… problem solved.

Works against Yun, (and Cammy, to some extent)

It’s just a simple OS taking advantage of the hit-trade mechanic in the game

Genius… I might just do this :smiley:
