Try out this c.hk to ducking uppercut if you haven’t, as well as ex mgb to light mgb. Free punishes basically if you get them with either.
I really need some help, I play as Guile & I can do with some critique of my skill:
I know I don’t tech the throws, but that’s only because I was trying to see if I could punish them with a flash kick instead.
I also want to know how to actually use Focus Attacks properly, because at the moment I can’t seem to integrate them into my playstyle unless I get a stun.
One last thing, what can I do about Evil Ryu’s c.MK xx Hadouken?
I have been just learning my plink combos slightly close to viable on live. Any ways to really improve my plinking other then constant training?. I play e. ryu so I have to deal with alot of 1 frame links.
theres posts on here that can explain it better than i could

there’s no other way. Just practice landing plinks for 10 minutes before every gaming session to steadily maintain and improve your execution
we have a dedicated thread for advice like this, merging
Here’s links to the games that I played recently
This is my new account that I bought so that I could get back into SFIV w/out losing every match. (As you can see, I am super rusty 0_o)
I just wanted to know where to start getting back in shape (combos, normal game, learning which moves are safe) and what I’m doing right and wrong already.
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks so much. Sorry I didn’t see the thread
Honda match - not bad for starters. You may probably want to ease up on the jumping (well, at least try buttons other than j. mp… neutral j. hp and j. hk are good too) and random headbutts. Better players will punish these habits pretty hard. You could learn/relearn to integrate Hundred Hands into your combos/pressure as well. Specificially, learn to do Hundred Hands clean i.e. not getting the EX version when you don’t mean to
I’ll watch the Bison one later.
Your Bison is in kind of the same boat. Ease up with raw Psycho Crushers/stomps, players will catch on and punish you hard eventually. Learn to stay grounded, develop your poke/footsies game, and learn combos into Scissor Kick.
Are you on pc or ps3? If you are on ps3 i can help you with sakura. (my tag is Devilstar22 and my replacement ps3 should be in next week.)
Remember only your Ex Shouken has invincibility and it is not wise to use it when you have one stock of meter at hand because if you mess up, then you can eat big damage combos that might do up to 300 damage. If you feel like you’re being pressured just block and try to tech a throw.
For footsies you should fish with sakura’s crouching medium kick and when you get the hit you cancel into her shouken or ex tatsu. Some other normals i see them doing is Far standing middle kick during footsies which goes over low moves for damage or spacing.
A few easy combos for sakura are
Crouching medium punch into shuoken.
Crouching light kick, crouching light punch, into crouching heavy punch into heavy shouken.
Cr.lp x Cr.lp x cr.hp into fierce shouken
Cr.lp x cr.lp x cr.mk into fierce shouken
I’ll edit this by tonight with some notable players and more youtube guides.
Hey, I am new here and some help with my Balrog would be appreciated. There are 3 matches, I get bodied in the first two and I did win the one against chun-li but I find that matchup very hard and I think there still are alot of things to be improved on even though I won.
I play on PC and would love some people to train with as I only have a couple of friends who play fairly casually.
EDIT: IT GOES BLACK AT 2:20 UNTIL 3:51. I don’t know why its fine in the rendered version, I think youtube messed it up.

[/quote]Well first off, you aren’t that bad and actually know some tricks. Second off, learn whats safe on block so you don’t give free punishment. Third off, get some of balrogs combos started in training learn a few low hit combos to mix in dash punch. I can see your footsies are medium strength, try to use his st.mp for aa and no raw sweeps there risky. If your gonna play balrog you have to turtle alot and be patient. You played into dudleys hand the whole time just letting him relax and wait for your mistake. I like how you got down his headbutt ultra but try less headbutts or you’ll end up giving away the one setup I see you know.

Thanks for the advice. While watching it back again after you said I do headbutt quite alot which if blocked I get punished loads. I am quite an impatient person so tend to just rush in it seems and get my ass handed to me in the dudley matchup case. I shall do that, try and get a few combos in my mind that use low forwards too rather than just sweep alot for a punish.
Here’s another vid of my Dudley:
(Hopefully I’ve improved).
You seem pretty good at doing your combos. When your opponent is throwing fireballs like that and you have Dudley you can always use his ducking move (forgot the name) to go through fireballs. If you are on psn I can help you out. My psn is Devilstar22.
btw for any other new player I on playstation I can help them as well. I’ll probably start a small group and utilize the mic and chat option.
Would really appreciate someone of a decent skill level to review this footage I have I play the akuma in the video my gf is the oni. I been working on plinks but I don’t have alot of time to play really maybe 1 hour a day if I even play.
Hey guys got two more videos hoping for some critique on them
sorry about the video not taking up the entire screen.
