I been playing Gouken since I unlocked him on SF4. But now I’m having some difficult times going up against some of these new challengers but mostly Ibuki in general. I was just wondering what general strategies my fellow Gouken players might against Ibuki players.
Not trying to be an ass here, but use the matchups thread. will be easier to find it later.
This is my first time posting here wasn’t aware of that. Still getting used to navigating this site.
She is another character that has to be close to affect you. But she is good at getting past hados with her slide. Try and bait that if you can from full screen if you block it its a free back throw. Don’t focus fish her since she can pretty much target combo off of every normal. Counter and blocking and teching well are important. Avoid trying to mush out counter during her target combos since she can go into raida I think it is. The one where she grabs you and its you with blue ball, its armor break. If you do get hit with her 1 target combo that leads to reset Kongo works good if she follows you since she is trying to keep the stun going shell probably be going for same combo. If you knock her down safe jump and demon flip her. Even with ex her wake up game is garbage. Cross up demon flip is pretty effective on her wake up too. Just remain calm and patient wait for your opening than be relentless besides her dash move that goes behind you she really can’t handle pressure well. And since gouken still does nice damage a couple nice bnb’s and a counter or 2 and she is one hurt bitch. Just beware of her rush down other than that patience.
If you block her slide deep, you should be able to punish with cr. fp > bnb this makes Denjin useful, b/c she has to be very cautious when you rush her down b/c she’s near stun and the match could be over. I prefer to dash and cr. roundhouse after the EX palm if I don’t have the Denjin and pressure her. If you use follow up palm after EX Palm and you start throwing fireballs to zone her she can slide through and you’ll lose what you worked so hard for. If you still want to zone, I’d say crouch then do a st. mp to see if she bite the fake lp had and slide again. Rinse and repeat.
If you are using the Shin-sho then Orion609 is pretty much spot on, just bait her slide and back throw her to her misery.
jjj
her air attacks can be kongo or cr hp. and you can also throw a fireball after block, through the one attack she does with a jumpback kunai, and it hits her on the way down. or palm throw the kunai.
always be mindfull to block low, because that is a great way for her to get in on gouken, since he should be able to keep her out of the air.
once she’s in and lands a target, try your hardest to get back to mid distance with her and stay to keeping her out of the air and blocking her slides.
havent tried yet, but i wonder if you can land denjin after blocking her aerial attack that she throws kunai off of.
