okay guys… so i’ve been getting hyped after the “best coast” got its ass handed to them versus the “beast coast” lol this sparked me to go into training mode and iron out a few things that i’ve been lazy about in order to improve my chun game… now i havent checked the full combo thread and if this has already been posted… srry.
anywho i’ve been abusing chuns cr.lp x 3 st.fp combo… we all know thats its a pretty good non mtered bnb… but i’ve had the recent epiphany thats its ALMOST as good as cr.lk x2 xx ex legs and doesnt use any meter to boot which means more ex sbks and supers and fadc’s and whatnot… first the numbers:
cr.lk x 2 xx ex legs does 180 damage, knocks down and uses one bar of meter
cr.lp x 3 > st.fp does 172 damage, doesnt knock down, and uses no meter.
so… theres only 2 reasons to use the exlegs variant: for the knockdown or for the ultra juggle.
now, there WAS one last reason why i never really used the st.fp bnb… because i thought i had to hitconfirm standing or crouching to use this combo… but i’ve just tested this out and it actually hits a SHITLOAD of characters that are in full crouch:
characters that get hit even when crouching by the cr.lpx3 > st.fp bnb:
guile
fei
gief
gouken
SETH (hurts this pathetic bastard SO MUCH)
SAGAT
rog
abel
fuerte
sakura
rose
gen
characters that it will wiff on no matter what:
cammy
blanka
chun
characters that will be forced to block the fierce even though it wont combo:
ALL OTHER CHARACTERS!
yeah thats right, you only really have to be hitconfirming stand block or not versus 3 characters, as long as you make sure that the last jab that you do before transitioning to the fierce is near max range.
so basically i’m saying that cr.lp x3 is highly spammable against 95% of the cast cause it will either get blocked or it will hit… no having to worry about it wiffing and you getting owned because of that.
note that certain characters CAN make the st.fp wiff if they dont hold down back:
rufus
honda
vega
but if they do that you can just do a sweep instead of fierce and knock them down for trying to be smart.
tomorrow i’m going to go through the entire cast to see who can and cant duck chuns st.fp when crouched in the neutral game.
also this list is for point blank cr.lp x 3 > st.fp… certain characters that are forced to block this string can actually make cr.lp x 2 > st.fp wiff even though they would have to block the other bnb.
