Chun-Li Combos and Glitches

if you’re in the corner, all the hits of EX SBK connect, only 2 hits connect on 2nd EX legs
not sure on damage but it definitely does more than Senretsukyaku which isn’t a bad tradeoff for 3 EX bars or if you just can’t wait for that super meter to fill :rofl:

that works also but i found j.HK dealt more damage although j.HP would be good to break FA early and get that extra hit

Im not sure if people are still having trouble with cr.lk to lightning legs, but after a lil practice tonight i got a pretty sure shot method that doesnt rape your hands, and makes it hella easy to hit EX LL off of one cr.lk

All you have to remember is that Lightning Legs is 5 inputs within a certain time frame, and the last button pressed determines the type of lightning legs.

with that said, for cr.lk XX EX LL:

cr.lk(piano tap through hk), KK+KK

1 2 3 4 5

Personally, in a match, for cr.lkx3 into EX LL, i just piano cr.lk,mk for each crouching short, then just hit KK twice when i see it hit.

Hella easy, and a lot easier on your hands.

If you need further explanation, lemme know, maybe i can make vid or something

edit: this also works in the opposite direction, so like any jump in, then st hk, piano down to lk, then KK twice for EX Lightning Legs

I’ve taken Chun-Li to a different level that I never thought I would, but I can say I’m still learning. I played with a friend from shadowhax0r last night and he said “Is he gonna do it…?” after I did b + mk > mk > down,up mk. Is there some follow up combo I’m not thinking of? Gonna experiment until someone has a definitive answer.

*edit nm

Actually, if after the 5th kick the 6th press is kara-canel speed (usually the case when you’re piano’ing) you’ll get EX, so all you need to do is piano twice and it’ll cancel to EX.

My personal method for short>short>LL is (Yes, only 2 shorts. I dunno why ppl are doing 3):
tap LK 4 times fast so that the first and the third tap chain into eachother. So…
LK ~ lk (doesn’t chain) ~ LK ~ lk (again too fast to chain) ~ KKK

@Ikaru
I think your only options are Ultra and EX Spinning Bird. EX lighning legs only hits once I believe, so it’s not worth your meter.

You can ultra after it.

can someone please tell me how to do chun li’s back flip kick…u know the one that she flips behind them and kicks them in the head…i always accidentely do it by button mashing the same way i always do but i dont know how to do it…please let me know…because it is not stated anywhere and i think ive looked everywhere…thnkx in advance

df+HK I guess.

THANKS a bunch man

Hey, I’m doing the challenge series and I cant get the D+MK(3x) to connect after the target combo in the air. Any tips on the timing?

You gotta use the Ex3 method which is: jump-in, 3 lk’s while your jump-in is connecting, c.mk as soon as you land, 2 more lk’s (this gives you the kicks) then just link the c.mk into super.:tup:

The hard part for me was slowing up on the super input:sweat:

you don’t need to buffer LK so much in that combo
anyway, j.HK , 2x LK just before you connect with d.MK then LK again will LK legs. works for me 100% of the time

Its a little tricky. If you are just slightly off, only 2 will hit. You have to catch them as they are starting down with the HP>HP. It knocks them back up and gives you a little more time to jump to them. If you do the D+MK too late, they will fall under the third, or you will slightly drift away.

Linking bug?

Sorry if this was ever discussed, but according to this article http://www.sirlin.net/blog/2009/2/22/a-few-things-about-street-fighter-4.html talking about linking low short x3 into a special move after doesn’t work if the last hit is “linked” but delay the last hit to cancel into a special. I want to know if low short x2 into EX lighting legs apply to this? At times when I try doing low short x2 quickly into EX legs it doesn’t come out consistently but found it strange at times when I delay in between the low shorts it works better.

The question I have is regarding landing her ultra in air juggles. Is it impossible to land the extended part of it on Dan? I’ve tried EX legs, air-to-air fierce, chain combo … the last launch hit doesn’t seem to want to connect no matter how I time it.

I’m wondering if this is exclusive to Dan, or is my execution just that terrible. Again, this is when hes in the air, not grounded.

It should work with some other characters.

I tried against Dan myself and most times it hits but then others I do hit the last kick in the super.

Its more on the lines of when you input it in to connect.

I don’t think its your execution. :slight_smile:

I’ve just been doing this in training mode, it seems I can connect it on Ryu more or less whenever I input Ultra, yet on Fei Long for instance, you need to activate earlier or the last kick misses.
The most damaging combo I’ve found with Ultra and ex, and in the corner so far is;

j. roundhouse (straight up), ex legs, ultra.

Training mode says 539 damage on Ryu, that’s with full Ultra gauge however.

The combo on the last page of, j. hk, s. hk, ex legs, ex legs, ex SBK does crazy damage. Definitly worth doing instead of super if your in the corner.

Anyone have a problem with me adding these to a FAQ? I’ve credited this site as the source.

Does anyone know if slow getup EX SBK takes priority over pokes/punches?

Also, I seem to have a problem countering ryus/akumas that ex dragonkick ontop of me when I getup, any way to counter this or should i just spam block until I can back up/counter?
