CE-ism... what is the best counter against it?

I haven’t played it quite extensively, but I should be getting some good play in tonight. I do know with their retarded poke range, you shouldn’t be getting hit by random CE pokes at all. Shit, some moves whiff EVERY TIME against certain characters. I guess the key is to just exploit their crappy range.

Shin Bison works well, but looks like he’s being axed (as with most shin characters). The A1 Akuma strat mentioned above might be useful to lock down the CE characters? Haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

As well, lets say the game becomes CE-fighter. How is this any different from becoming A1 fighter? Or DS-ism fighter? What makes the game so bad because CE is top tier? I don’t get it, just because it doesnt feel like alpha?

I am under the impression that a lot of Alpha players were dying for this release, and then when it turns out that HSFA has these special grooves which have a ton of options and are downright powerful, that they get their panties in a bunch because its not an alpha game anymore. I can understand that, but that doesn’t make it right to start banning non alpha grooves.

As well, isn’t there a dipswitch to fix the throw big in L-ism? Why not just toggle that option instead of banning the entire “groove”?

Blue-ism Gen is a very good counter to CE-Sagat…try it, hard match up for Sagat since it eliminates his ability to use tiger shots to create range.

And A1 Akuma is a good counter to the lot of them with his jab air fireballs ability to pin them down so effectively.

Youk know what would be sick!!? if capcom re-called all of the SFAA copies and updated them lol so CE would do like 30% damage less?
