I’ve been ahead against Sim, Akuma, Sagat or turtle Ryu and get antsy. I’ll normally lose these matches even when I should easily be able to hold on for the timeout. The Sim matches are really annoying in this regard.
can someone give me pointers on how to counter cross ups? i read that mp should do the job but i have no idea when i should be throwing it and i always end up losing because of it. i know i suck.:sad:
I don’t usually use cr.mp for anti xup, because I’m not sure of the timing either. However, I have relative success with stopping people from crossing me up with cr. Fierce. The only time I can’t stop someone from an xup is when I’ve been knocked down or reset, that’s when it’s easiest to just block.
I’m just cr.fierce-ing at the moment but it’s not enough. Normal folks will stop trying to cross you up whilst scrubs will keep on doing it regardless of how many uppercuts you give them until they die or you screw up the timing.
It depends on the crossup.
Sometimes you can jump out (opposite direction of the crossup). I find this works against Chun-Li who do the df.HK.
Sometimes you forward dash (which becomes a backdash if timed right).
Sometimes you can FA, then either dash or FA1 counterhit to crumple.
Sometimes you can c.HP.
Sometimes you can do a late FK.
Sometimes you can just block and tech/throw them.
It depends on who’s trying to cross you up and how. Blocking is an option, you can’t punish every attack. If that frustrates you then Guile might not be for you.
I stopped spamming cr.hk and I’ve been winning a lot more and getting less punishment.
Use the forward medium kick more and forward heavy punch/forward heavy kick.
After I mixed up my moveset and implemented focus absorbs and etc, I got much better. I can see its quite apparent in guile mirror match ups. A lot of guiles will just spam cr.hk and you can flash kick after the first kick has gone through. Also a lot of flash kick on wakeup. Cross overs seem to puzzle a lot of guiles that I’ve met on PSN.
I’ve never fought a mirror match where the op Guile did anything other than the flowchart, which makes me sad…
Even after FA or block FKing the x2 sweep spam, they still keep doing it.
Please stop. :sad:
yea i have a bad habbit of hitting people with c.mp flashkick+super flashkick and it always seemd like when there is 1 certain move i want to try and pull off i usually get beat because of it 8(
I’m guilty of some of these, especially the sobat move. When they whiff a SRK or TU, I throw…then remember I could have done a simple 3 hit combo that does more damage.
lol…I kinda have the same feeling when facing a Gief. That guys grab range is retarded! I’m doing c.mk, and I get grabbed and raped by a Russian.
Oh, and definately guilty of making a living on his double sweep. And I keep forgetting to FADC when they block the 1st hit.
I used to get beat by Ken-whores just doing cross-ups the whole fucking fight! I finally learned to block them.
If you FA a cross up with Guile, most of the time (at least for me) when I dash out they end up getting me with a c.lk or c.lp. It’s still better than eating a 4 or 5 hit combo, but it hurts to pull out a fancy FA they don’t expect and still be punished with some light attack.
I love that corner raping technique. If they panic jump just to try to get away, I love to air-throw them back in their corner! Some guys that get air-thrown back to their corner take it very personal. hehe
One thing I ALWAYS find myself doing is THINKING too much. I do this especially after I feel like I mastered some combos in training mode then try to apply them against real opponents. I think way too much. I play much better when I just flow with it and react naturally.
IMO, there are times to think and times to go into autopilot. When I’m first learning my opponent I’m thinking alot and analyzing. But once I get them into a corner, autopilot switches on. No thinking, just reacting.
My new bad habit:
sb xx super – even when I have NO super. Stupid muscle memory…
I use fk when people jump at me.
Bad habit: wasting too much time mid-match wishing Guile was Charlie.
over using the F MK and S HP and now negleting other normals such as the B HK, although the main reason is that other follow ups can be done after say a meaty sabot that does leave you at -4 frames as pointed out in one of the other threads.
Trying the backfist a shoto when trading fireballs from half screen and whiffing and hitting nothing but air :), although I still whack them in the jaw if they are within range. This old school trick is still viable in this game 
Being a smartass with FA fishing and dashing back to cancel it.
lately I’ve been throwing booms too close or in such a predictable pattern for people to ultra me/jumpin combo :sad:
rofl. I’m to the point where I only FK at the end of a combo. I’m soo scared to use it outside, it’s not even funny. Against less skilled players though, I FK to my hearts content.:smokin:
No please dont stop spamming cr.rh, absorbing it is one of the main ways I tear Guiles a new hole
I’ve cut down on FK. Switching to c.hp, amazing what it does.
During a match with no lag, c.hp owns all… :wgrin:
For some reason lately, I see a jump in coming be prepared to cr.hp, and my finger goes directly to, cr.hk.
Also, landing a non-crumpling FA and dashing forward, to eat shoryukens.
