Bad habits Guile players are guilty of

Bad Habits im guilty of…

Jump-in MK (Abusively, just because it has such a fast start up time and it can stuff alot of attacks IMO, plus it seems to have longer reach and animation then FK…)

c.FK to FA… ( I dont know, i nver liked the idea of the double c.FK, i tend to spam FA after the first hit… gets me into alot of trouble sometimes =P eating ultra retaliations)

Excessive LP Sonic Booms ( i tend to forget there are MP and FP sonic booms. EX for that matter)

Forgetting to Air Throw whiffed DPs and just c.FP instead. ( Yeah, this is very common with me, i always forget.)

Starting a match with FADC f.FP (playing so many FB starters almost made this a muscle memory, which gets me to eat Hurricane Kicks/DP/Knees with a passion…)

Starting a round with b.MK sonic boom (its almost like telegraphing to people to jump FK me in the face. But this was another one of those where if i knew it was a HK or blanka roll fromt he start… usually trades or hits them out of it.)

Jumping in on Ken/Gouken/Akuma/Sakura/Gen/Boxer Headbut Ultra/Bison/Sagat Ultras
Jumping in on EX Spinning Bird Kick/Flash Kicks

Sweeping too often.

The crouching roundhouse. Guilty of doing it waaaaaaaaaaay too much without even thinking about it. Sometimes I get an overeager opponent who only blocks the first of the two hits, but that’s not really something to rely on

I also have a problem doing the ultra when I want to. Also I notice when I try to set people up for air throws, I sometimes just get jump kicked when I try. I don’t know if that’s because I’m not throwing early enough or because Ryu’s god damned foot just has that much more reach

im have the habit of throwing the c.hk as well. im training myself to poke with a c.mk or the sabat instead of constantly sweeping. seems to be helping…

been getting into another bad habit now, this after going hours on end trying to get his super/ultra to 75% on command.

Buffering Super/Ultra when now bars, end up doing too many flash kicks on memory heh… and then i twitch ultra/super when i dont need it and get counterrippedapart.

i dash after throwing a sonic boom…sometimes its good but i do it a lot for no reason so i eat an ex fireball from the opponent, or they jump over it and kick me in the face. I try doing a flash kick cancel when i wake up but sometimes the opponent is farther then when i can cancel and they block and beat me when i land…i need to do a crouching roundhouse cancel instead when the opponent is farther. when the opponent blocks a Focus attack i never dash in or out after the hit. hmmm…sometimes i just plain suck.

Abusing too much FK on dashing opponents and after their pokes.Also forget to delay Fk instead of instantly use it on jumping opponent.

  1. I sb in front of a waking up shoto or sagat thinking they’re not spamming an uppercut this time because i punished their last two ones.

  2. forgeting to use cr.HP when an opponent jumps in on me while hes in the corner.

  3. forgetting to use HP for poking

Trying to whiff out a low sonic ala Remy.

Sonic < headbutt Boxer

Flash kick as AA
Sonic boom close so they cross me up

Great thread.

Guilty as charged to nearly all infractions. Not feeling so alone. Now on to doing something about it.

Not patient enough.

I’m an okay guile in G2… I still get massacred by crossups. I’m finally learning the FA cancels along with poking. I have a bad habit of wakeup FKs and close ex booms vs wake up shoryu’s.

Still somewhat guilty of the crouching rh, but it’s only vs those that don’t defend it.

:shake:

I find doing myself throwing out c.hp and st.mk too early or too late for anti air or using c.hp for far jump-ins which just does not work. Too used to throwing out flash kicks from my rookie days which could just sweep a large area in front of you.

-launching Ultra when opponent is jumping towards you but ends up blocking it fully becuase of its slow startup.

-following boom with forward fierce punch to see it wiff and getting yourself punished low

-forward knew after boom to get hit my a projectile.

cr. HK! I know it’s the worst normal in the game, but I’m addicted. I will only stop using it when it stops working though.

In the corner, I SB > c.HK > SB > c.HK until they figure it out. Awful habit; it’s something I kept from the release of SF4, when people weren’t used to it and would either block high, or forget that c.HK has two hits.

I also always charge down-back, and tend to get murdered by people that abuse overheads. I remember on one occasion, I got beat by a Zangief that spammed body splash for roughly 80 seconds. >_>

i do the same thing but sometimes mix up with over head puch.

ok bad habits:
fadc through fireballs to get through. and eating shoruken on face.
stand fierce > sonic boom with boxer
too preditable with lp sonic boom > stand HK and eating shorken again.
too freaked out by tick throws so sometimes press throw button and eat a three hit combo
doing lp boom right infront of opp
