^ find people to play locally in real life…
anyways, i played perhaps the best ryu player I have seen online (PC). he could do those c.mp c.mp links and then linking that into sweep (not sure if it was link or i messed up).
he could do DP fadc Ultra pretty consistently. and the like. He fadc’ into sweep for mixups.
He could actually do Safe Jumpins (a first for me) where I do cannon spike, he blocks and throws or something. What exactly do I do against SafeJumpins? (He does Jumping Fierce) …
What are my options? Block? (I didnt try backdash because I didnt think of it… but are those the only two things?)
LOL, i just completed Ryu’s hard trials last night (was bored so decided to screw around with the trials) and one of his trial is the jump hp, cr.mp, cr.mp, cr.hk… So it is a legit combo, you didn’t screw up. The key is to get the first cr.mp hit meaty, then the 2nd cr.mp is easy to link then its a 1 frame link for the cr.HK, I plinked it to get the cr.hk to link. It is not that difficult compared to Cammy’s trials (took me 1/2 hour just for 2nd one).
IMHO, unless you were knocked down first before his jump ins, there’s NO safe jump in for Ryu without some frame advantage set up… It’s because of the online lag… even with 5 green bars, there’s enough delay there to make some naked jump ins seem safe, and some times I get really pissed off at online play because I know many of those jump ins could have been DPed but due to lag, were “safe”… Cammy’s DP is more susceptible to online lag than any other DP because of her poor recovery, one blocked DP = big damage received…
You can try to focus dash cancel forward (dash under) to get away and maybe score a surprise cr.lk or cr.mk. Focus dash cancel backward works too except its more susceptible to option selects if they started to notice a pattern…
Your only option is to block. It sucks, but that’s pretty much it.
Is there such thing as a SAFE spiral arrow? If so, what is the distance and what Spiral Arrow? Light, Medium, Heavy…?
Yes sorta… You can create some frame advantage situations with certain setups to make SA meaty or safe (except vs Reversals).
Here’s a video I did a while back:
[media=youtube]hGLLyeXVxSc"[/media]
There are distances (depending on button used) where naked non-comboed SA are semi-safe on block (where the SA hits at the very last active frame vs characters with SLOW normals or specials, but against shotos with their 3 frame DP, its NEVER SAFE), but in real game situations its very difficult to gauge and if your opponent uses focus attack, it will COMPLETELY destroy your naked / non-comboed SA.
Yes but the spacing is very strict. You have to make sure you’re only hitting with the tip of your spiral arrow
Generally better to think its never safe, one FA crumple or the opponent moves just enough forward for whatever reason will ruin your day even if its not a shoto.
Need some insight in the dictator vs cammy vs. ok ALL versions of cannon spike is 12 start up frames, all frames are active until grounded and - for blocked frame advantage & frame hit advantage. So if i read this right, i can punish her since we would be @ even frames when she is back on the ground. i can through out cr lk which comes out in 3 frames cancel 2 xx sk to reset her for example. Plz correct me if im wroung cuz im not betting on my frame data smarts.
If Cammy does the dive kick very low to the ground (not the instant dive kick), she gets a free mix up her choices are throw, dp, TKCS (instant dive kick), combo, back dash, or block. If she lands the TKCS she gets a free combo. Don’t read frame data, read your opponent:) Happy dive kicks 
Hey there o/
This is my first post in here, I’ve been reading a lot of topics, this forum is great o/
I got a question though…
I only know 2 ways to punish a predictable Blanka when he’s doing that Shock Attack… wich are … cr. MK + Spiral Arrow… or… a well placed FA followed by what ever I have in mind
Are there any other ways?
Thanks in advance
Ultra is one way. Also, if he likes to use electricity on wake up, a well timed tkcs will beat it clean and allow you to end in your combo of choice. Just be carefull he doesn’t do an ex-ball, as it will beat your tkcs.
Against Blanka electricity, I like going for c.lk -> HSA.
If you are too close, c.mk will be hit by electricity but c.lk won’t.
You can also go for a EX Cannon strike ( don’t jump too high )
there are tons of ways to beat electricity… c.mk -> HK SA… Cannon Spike beats it (FADC CS/Ultra = more damage :hitit: )
cr.mk->SA is only safe if you are outside of lk’s range otherwise the electric shock will hit you…
So here are a few ways I can remember:
cr.lk->SA (if you are right next to him)
cr.lk->C.Spike
cr.mk->SA
cr.mp->SA (a bit harder, make sure just the tip of her punch hits)
plain old c.spike (gotta be next to him)
c.strike (all versions, tip of her toe just touches blanka’s HANDS while he’s in electric shock)
cr.hk (need to be outside of lk’s range again)
cr.lp->SA (this one works, but the range is tricky, need to be at max range where the lp barely hits)
plain old SA (all versions, just make sure the tip hits not her body)
All the combos ends with SA can be super cancelled for even more damage
All c.spike combos can be FADC’ed for another c.spike or ultra
All c.strike attacks can be comboed with her normal bnbs or c.spike into FADC combos etc…
Blanka’s electric shock is very risky for Blanka against Cammy if you don’t become jumpy against him…
Thanks a lot for answering with so much content and so fast!
I’ll be putting your tips on practice during my next fights against blankas…
If your SA is meaty, you can c.spike off it…
here’s a vid I did a few months back…
[media=youtube]hGLLyeXVxSc"[/media]
i usually get in front of him, wait 2 secs and SA before electricity is gone
i found out u gotta wait couple secs or electr wins if u SA immediately
I either go for cr. MK -> Sa, cr. lk -> SA, Super, or Ultra. That’s what I would recommend.
any of you guys went to a tourny just to find that they forbid using console characters… and that you can only choose from the default cast??? :tdown:
:lame:
i heard in Europe they do not allow Seth…
