i put new combos in the combo thread. Are we done yet…With ssfiv around the corner i think so, i’m looking forward to switching to someone else and going militant for a year in the respective character’s forum all over again 
if thats the best chuns in the UK… oh my… that was terrible. Your blanka was mint… that chun was aweful…but great playing with blanka.
there are no good chuns in UK. And that player Sky has only been using chun for a month or so he’s doing alright i guess.
I think Sky has been playing Chun longer than that- I remember watching him in Gamezone using Chun Li ages back, must have been like, October time. He knew what he was doing too so yeah, it;s been more than 1 month
I was in the crowd for your match with Ryan btw Mullah, I was making a lot of noise when you got that 1 frame link. Yeah from my experience playing Ryan, he WILL get that TU FADC if he’s using Sagat. Good on you for gettting in a couple of throws, imo one of his and Zak’s greatest strengths that put them that bit ahead of the rest of the UKs players is that they throw tech very well.
He’s been using Chun for quite a while now. Think after SVB he’s been using her. He’s been beating everyone recently as well such as Infexious, British Justice, Skatan Milla. Only person he said he couldn’t beat was Alioune. That game don’t do him justice 'cause i think the pressue got to him, but i’d go to say he’s one of the best Chun’s in Europe (Even though we hardly have any)
whats his gamertag? consistantly beating skatans chun, nahh my lil buddy sky? time to get some games in!
properscrub
Yep, i think he’s gone past Skatan. I played Skatan in Sweden and i find playing Sky much harder (probably him being more defensive)

blanka goodies for all!
Entertaining match between FAX and Mago (4m15s):

Looks like FAX lost his card.
Please rate hard my fights against Zangief.

Stop jumping in on Zangief, stop doing random ultras from full screen, stop wasting your meter on random EX rainbow rolls (only do them to get out of corner), stop hopping towards/thru Gief to throw, stop attacking so much when you have a big life lead.
pretty much this
Video of me playing chun-li in a recent tournament. I didn’t have any chun exp so it was a learning experience. You can see I kept getting crossed up easily, but im not being stuffed I’m actually not blocking it correctly because I wasn’t used to chun-lis floaty crossup.

Any additional comments are appreciated.
I’m a chun player that happened to be here, not a blanka player. I’ll offer what I can though.
Lightning her crossups/jump ins. I think it will hit her either way, even if she is crossing you up.
She can ultra your ultra on block
You can focus her hazanshus (overhead flip kick move)
The strings that chun player was using were not “tight” strings. You could have mashed a reversal in between (lightning maybe?)
At one point she did a hazanshu into c.lp into c.fp. While it does combo, she didn’t combo it…you simply failed to block it. Maybe block a little more.
Slides are punishable iirc, be more careful about how you use those.
Chun needs meter to reversal, and even then EX sbk is hot garbage. Anything that comes in at an angle beats it clean (think rufus dive kicks). I don’t know if blanka has anything like that but if you can bait her into using her reversal, she wastes meter, which is good for you.
When she doesn’t have meter, rush her ass down like crazy because she can’t do shit to get you off her. Her AA/reversals are terrible, and if you stay back and play defensive you’re going to get chipped away with fireballs.
i think its about time we post some more videos yea? heres some of my gameplay during some G1. none of these are my best matches or whatver. I jsut grabed the camera and started recording. questions?? comments???advice?? any would be helpful. thankx.
Vs** Bison** [media=youtube]tNOMy5lMNpU[/media]
Vs Rufus [media=youtube]3EUIahXx4M4[/media]
I have more to upload. probably tomorow in the mourning.
I’m not pro level, but here is my 2 cents from my experience.
Vs Bison. I like you FADC into throw after a combe. I don’t use that much and UI need to. I suggest you use LP ball into elec a bit more, it will counter a knee press early or trade late and if you land you either get him with the elec or chip him. Always be ready to punish his slide with mk > ball or whatever and remember to counter the stomp with crouch > elec
Vs Rufus. Don’t jump! Maybe a crossover when he is in recovery but that’s it. He can juggle you into his damn ultra, or snake strike you. Punish his jumps with lp or hp v balls. Elec beats his stupid jumpins. He can punish your ball, so only use the LP and don’t hit him with it. If his execution is weak, you could ball then FA his punch counter but I wouldn’t bet on it. Spam LP h ball into elec til he has a solution for it. Random FA and slides are good because he’s is always trying to close in.
These Blanka vids are awesome, thanks!

Posting my first vid. Not a great indicator of how I play, but I really want tips on Dhalsim.
Close the gap more often with LP blanka balls in between yoga fires. If he is sticking out attacks he will get counterhit or trade in your favor. If you notice a pattern of hitting buttons you can also do a LK rainbow roll over yoga fire and if he sticks out an attack at the wrong time he gets knocked down. You can hold down back at mid range to full screen because if he ever goes for instant overhead jumping HP, it’s free HK upball. In the last round of the first set you messed up 50/50 ultra pretty bad, practice that. Pressure Sim on wakeup with safe jumps, if they back dash slide. Don’t do HP blanka balls, like ever. Upballs as reversals up close are not that great either. EX ok but only when you have a big life lead and he is almost dead. I noticed you hardly ever FA’ed mix it up with FA fishing at mid to close range. Save up super and combo into it when you get the opportunity (easier said than done but it should be easy to conserve EX meter in this match).\
Life lead and turtle. It’s hard for Sim to get offensive unless he does yoga fire > teleport > combo xx super. You can generally just jump back with LP when he is tossing out yoga fires and fishing for this, if he teleports he will get tagged by jump LP (it has the most active frames IIRC). EX rainbow roll out of corner when it’s safe to do so.
basically what BoJ told you
I would just add a few things.
- SIM **has **to block the 50/50 after bite and doesn’t have a good punish (except for in corner). I would suggest always doing the 50/50 setup on SIM especially if chip will kill him. If he guess right, you catch a long limb, if he guesses wrong, he guesses wrong, you win the match.
-Attempt to turtle and build EX. I play lame and usually can force timeouts vs Full screen zoning sims.
-Trade when possible
I noticed you were taking fireball chip, you need to eithere FA to build Ultra, Nuetral jump over, or CC under. Dont take silly damage from sim.
