Which is pretty much what I do, and hate every minute of it. Honda is such a boring fight.
pretty much. There are a handful of matches you have to handle completely differently than shotos and several other characters
gief
honda
chun li
guile
balrog
those 5 right there i generally have a separate ‘strategy’ for, rather than how I normally approach fighters.
technically EVERYBODY is different, strategy wise (ie El Feurte or Cammy), but I find those 5 are the most different, due to their skills
Anybody got some solid advice on the : Cammy and Guile matchups ( i have no clue how the matchups should work)
vs cammy, just kinda keep back, and be ready to throw out focus attacks, slides, and properly spaced SK’s.
One thing I can tell you is that most Cammy’s I’ve seen like to follow up their blocked Spiral Arrow’s with Cannon Spikes when you are about to punish, then you eat the cannon spike.
That doesn’t work all that well against a good Cammy I am afraid. Once Cammy gets in which she will if she’s any good at all TKCS seems to straight up own every option Bison has outside of teleport which can be punished with hk SA on reaction and ex pc which can be spiked as soon as you get to the other side of her if they are quick enough.
You fight Cammy EXACTLY how you fight Rufus. You just have to watch out for reversals a little more because she doesn’t need meter for hers. Also her ranged low is more of a threat than Rufus’. s.LK will stuff any TKCS attempts in your face just like it stuffs Rufus insta-Divekick. But, just like Rufus, you have to look out for her mixup and frametraps. She goes down easier though due to less health.
Well I dunno if something changed or not, or if its my timing but st.lk either gets stuffed or blocked almost anytime I try it, if it gets stuffed I eat her bnb.
It’s been a while since I played a GOOD Cammy but I must say I remember it working. I played a couple that were decent yesterday and s.LK was working. Maybe my recollection is bad and those other Cammy’s were timing it poorly? I’ll have to check this out later.
One thing I would make sure to check is if your actually stuffing the TKCS or is she is trying to go for a low normal and your stuffing that instead, TKCS is so quick its hard to tell sometimes.
vs T.Hawk:
Watch out for empty condor dives into 360. Annoying. lol.
I suppose a good tactic vs this is to learn the travel distance and be in a spot where you’re guaranteed to block it for punish. Or neutral jump HK on the way down (will have to test this)
Still tricky, though. He can feign, empty jump and 360 you.
Condor Dive can also cross up. (ugh)
And he can do j.lp into condor dive. condor dive is guaranteed cross up, apparently.

You’ll most likely get EX-DP’d on wake up if he has meter. Bait.
Well she was getting reset out of the air when I used s.LK. They could have been mistiming their TKCS though so I’ll check up on this after I get home from work.
On the bison vs bison mirror match up, devil reverse=free ultra 2. Even full screen. Yep.
In regards to Cammy, just did some testing in training mode. s.LK works but if YOUR timing is slightly off you will eat a TKCS into w/e. It’s not hard to time it correctly though, just have to get used to it.
Vs Chun in training mode it seems j.mk never crosses up in the left corner if you try to jump over from as close as possible UNLESS you do the j.mk extremely late. j.fp and j.hk always cross up. True ambiguous crossup :P.
Hmmm, so it seems Cody outfootsies Bison both ground and air, this includes st.mk which gets stuffed by punches…
what about head stomp?
man, pray he never gets the knife. If you thought Vega was annoying…
you have to knock cody down, then stay on his ass with pressure.
Cody does have some nice frame traps when he’s on the offensive prowl but his defense isn’t great. Yeah he’s got the good anti air normals we wished Bison had but they don’t work at all distances. You can out poke Cody from mid to close range and try to knock him down for some meaty setups.
Cody’s b+mp freaking beat my ex headstomp.
