Alright, I don’t think anyone’s posted RockHowar videos up before so I don’t know how many of you know this guy… He’s a European Chun (Spanish to be precise) but I really like his Chun, has some really nice pressure and mix up tricks and adjusts really well in all the videos to his opponent…
Anyway it seems he’s not up here and he is Good Here are a few of his fights (he gets better and better as the fight goes on in each case as he learns what works against who he’s fighting), he’s no Nemo but still…
These links also take you to his You Tube page which is worth a look as he has some good fights up on it
…i hate when ryu and sagat win against chun. Am I the only one that sees that he falls victim to ex fireballs from ryu, or was it just from that video? Nevertheless, he has some good stuff. Thanks for the links man.
Just did a couple dozen tests with guile and chun. Chun definitely can’t do it like that. She can grab him out of it, but not at the range guile is doing it. Has to do with guiles gdlk suction properties on his air throw I’m guessing. Pretty obvious actually, it IS because of guiles godlike air throw.
Damn. Wtf man, what was going through that Rufus player’s head? “Uhh… that must’ve been a fluke. There is NO WAY he’s gonna airthrow me again. This time it’ll DEFINITELY work”.
I only watched the end of it to see what Dime was talking about.
Edit: Nvm. I watched the first round and can kind of understand why he went for it, but that’s the riskiest shit ever and there’s a difference between the 1st and final round.
Damn that’s a funny end!!! Its likes Monkey’s and electric shock treatment, at some point that Rufus must have been thinking “this isn’t going to work but I’ll do it anyway cos I am so annoyed” Still the old air grab thing might be pretty useful if they have increased Chun’s air throw range on SSF4…
LOL to the Rufus player again just thing I’ve seen this morning once I got to work… I think its going to be a good day!
Wow, had no idea Day used Cammy - his setups were pretty decent. Against her, you need to be patient and control the spacing better. Way too often, you let her get in the hotzone and didn’t capitalize in areas where she launched Cannon Drill, which could be punished with short/jab xx EX SBK. Her dive kick can also be FA’ed; but against aggro Cammy’s, you have to take great care that they won’t always follow up with a Cannon Drill. Don’t be afraid to backdash often and use more pokes.
As for the Chun matchup; MM has provided solid tools which you should be utilizing more in your gameplay. Currently, you don’t use enough standing pokes (i.e. st. strong, st. rh) and you allowed him to abuse HSU way too often (he loves that move, I know – but you gotta teach him to use it moderately). He likes to follow up any hit confirms/whiffed attempts with EX Legs because he’s hoping to lock down any chance for you to get back on the offensive. Learn more block strings… abuse st. strong/cr. strong – and use the whole stage to your advantage. Every match doesn’t need to be in-your-face. Also, focus on having more mixups because it seems like your tactics just have a “whatever happens” approach, which isn’t going to work well against interemediate/advanced players.
Here are a few of his fights (he gets better and better as the fight goes on in each case as he learns what works against who he’s fighting), he’s no Nemo but still…
But playing against you I can see a ton of issues in my own game so we gotta do it again soon…
