It sounds like you’re not using Denjin properly. Part of SA3 is just the threat of using it against someone when they get knocked down or have a bit of stun on their bar. It’s the other person that should be focusing on when you might bust it out right?
But my Denjin Ryu is crap 
did you read what i wrote? i said sa1 is preferred against alex. i never said denjin is preferred against alex.
where it matchmaking thread? (nohomo)
I think Denjin is the best overall. Landing a denjin means your more than halfway to winning the game, the bar is short and like someone else mentioned you can still use ex is you need to. Although against dudley or alex I personally prefer SA1 since landing a denjin set up doesn’t always lead to stun and they have big comeback potential.
With all that said though Shin shoryu is the hardest to land but it does big damage and you can use ex. Not to mention that you win at life for all the 3.5 seconds it takes to finish the animation as well as in the game. So go on take your pick.
Yes, I totally jump off the cab/put down my arcade stick and perform Shin Shoryuken whenever I land it on my opponent.
Eat your heart out, Juicebox.
Shit man you do that too? I do it and I shout “SHIN…SHORYYYYUKEN”.
Then I just imagine you guys side-kicking your opponents into a change machine as they fall back down. As they lay there covered in quarters with little tatsu’ing Ryus spinning above their heads.
Actually, SA2 can be considered viable against Dudley. He has more ways to be able to land/confirm it on Dudley than most of the cast because of his fat hitbox.
It works the same way on alex too. I love the st.mp or st.mk into shin shoryu. It hits the farthest end of their hit box for maximum awesome. St.mk into fierce shoryu on crouching alex hit confirm works on crouching alex.
Oh and 1 time I did a forward mp.overhead into jab shoryu combo (second hit from the overhead only and meaty), but I cant seem to do it in training mode wtf? Can someone shed some light on this. Did I accidentally kara it or was it a frame perfect meaty or something?
Super deep meaty. As an alternate, you can do f.MP(2nd hit, very meaty)->cr.MK->whatever.
Funny enough, you can do a regular f.MP overhead-> SA2 link on Urien, but the timing is so ridiculous that it’s not worth it. Odds are you have to kara that SA2 as well since the pushback is so far.
you must defeat sheng long my dudes
