Chun Li General Thread: Blue Jade

Im only consistent on the left side of the screen. Im only 50 50 at best on the right side. Its a strange motion since you have to tiger knee then hit straight down as the last input.

With things like this I just turn on input display to make sure im not missing any directions in the motion.

“May” have an interesting corner only reset during VT.
I haven’t had the chance to try it in match and I’m calling it a day. Along with my sinus headache I began to autopilot really bad and in the midst of that I started playing SF4 Chun…that’s a good indicator to stop.

So the reset, lets just say you stunned your opponent and activated VT
You do a NJ.Hk, B+Hp xx EX kikouen (reset to D/F mk) St. Mp xx LLegs
Ex Kikouken gives you enough time to perform her overhead, but the push back only allows for St. Mp
I tried to link Cr. Hp and Cr. Mk, perhaps it can be done without lethargic-drooling-monkey syndrome, but I thought I’d share it for exploration purposes.

I’ve also been trying desperately to find a way to cycle thru all 3 LLegs or at least the last rep be EX version.
In doing Cr. Hp xx Lk Legs, Cr. Lp xx Mk LLegs, Cr. Mk xx Hk LLegs is juuuuuuuust brealy outside reach of linking.
Really nice counter hit setup though. I tried again in VT. I just really have a gut feeling something will make it work.
If not then Capcom was probably worried about another Leg Loop happening.

So everyone is almost positive that the Head Stomp Cancel won’t make it through development, right?

Well they said once the game releases they won’t mess with it much, but yeah its been patch city during the beta. I just try things out until they go away at this point lol

This happened in earlier builds. They probably won’t mess with this.

Btw, Gootecks said Chun lost her mp, cr.mk link.

Which kind of sucks, but blarg, whatever.

Also grain of salt, etc, and since it’s just at PAX etc, she could have got a bunch of good buffs and people wouldn’t necessarily notice.

Combo Compilation:

With the removals of lights into mediums and B.HP already does not link into anything unless in V-trigger, what are we supposed to hit confirm with or even combo with ?
I hope there is something in exchange.

I’m diggin the flashiness and poke game with her but man if the input isn’t worth the damage. 55 hits and still below 600. And she’s got 900 hp so I dunno.

In beta b.hp links into cr.lp, st.lp and directly into lk legs. Are you saying this was also taken out?

Oh boy. I hope that this is a mistake and it’s still in.

No I forgot that B.HP combos into lp in the beta so my mistake on that , i do not know if it is in or out at this new build though.

Combofiend described Chun Li as being the mid range character so this doesn’t surprise me. Her V Trigger expands her bnb options to be superior to the entire other cast, so it’s a trade off.

b+HP into s.LP should work fine. Learning light into special bnbs might actually be beneficial now that that’s the only way to bnb off a light (which falls in line with 3S and Alpha).

Your new bnb is most likely going to be s.MP, s.LP EX legs. Only does 15-20 points less damage and has similar range.

To take away a combo like St. Mp, Cr. Mk xx LLegs (considering St.Mp’s garbage range) is rather pointless.
No real reason can be given for this personally.

I truthfully never used it because St. Mp suck so much and Cr. Hp is quick and works just fine.
And in VT St. Mp, Cr. Hp or B+Hp, Cr. Mk is much better than St. Mp, Cr. Mk

Pointless nerf, but no big deal.

I suppose it makes sense that MP would get nerfed, it had enough hitstun to go into EX legs/super without having to cancel it. Unfortunately it was part of my BnB when dashing in. (Cr.LP, St.MP, Cr.MK xx Legs).

I guess Cr.LK, Cr.LP, St.MP xx Legs would still work in this situation.

Lights to mediums are gone.
So no more Cr.LK, Cr.LP, St.MP xx Legs or Cr. Lp, Cr. Lp, St. Mp xx Legs

All of them? Interesting. Maybe Cr.LK, Cr.LP, St.LP xx Legs then (or Fireball on block)?

This is extraordinarily unlikely. The source which said this was the case was not one I’d trust, and it contained a lot of large claims, many of which have not been backed up.

Likely some of these combos have been removed, but not all.

I don’t use her light attacks much any ways so if they’re all gone I will still play pretty much the same. c.LP I occasionally use for tick throwing since it’s plus 3 but that’s about it.

s.MP is her best closer ranged normal. It’s plus 3 on block and will still give you c.MK if you want on a counter hit. s.MP, s.LP will keep you plus 3 on block also if it doesn’t combo as well. c.MK didn’t have much more range for something that kept you at 0 and pushed you out.

You should totally use Cr.LP more, it’s amazing! Point blank you can link into St.MP. You can link it after Cr.HP xx Light LLegs, and combo into L SBK. You can link it after a point blank Cr.MK. It’ll combo after a CH df.MK.
