its been awhile, but per the request of fellowship friends, i will have new vids on here shortly of me playing various characters. while they all arent chun exclusives, hopefully some of you can take something away from the matches.
Here’s the footage as promised. You’ll note there isn’t a lot of Chun – and that’s because I have fun playing with my alternate selections from time to time. I can dig up other matches of Chun by request.

I got a bunch of my matches recorded from last night, but I’m really scrubby and lost almost all of them. I’m sort of new here, so pardon my noob-question, but is this thread a place where people go to see good Chuns that they can take notes on, or is it just for all Chun matches?
There are no restrictions to what’s posted here – so if you’re looking for critique, this ideally will be the place to share your content.
Okay, cool. This first match I get double-perfected by Merkilo’s Rufus. I wasn’t sure what to do about the dive kick pressure. I tried jabbing him out of it, I tried jumping and meeting him in the air, I tried teching the throws once he landed, but more often than not (obviously) it didn’t work out, and I’d eat a throw or another dive kick.

I played Merkilo again not too long thereafter, and (though I didn’t get double-perfected again) I didn’t do too great once again. I know for a fact that I didn’t think about it while I was in the match (a bad habit that I’m working on, I know), but I gave it a lot of thought afterward and didn’t know what Chun should do about dive kick pressure. I’ve had trouble with Yuns and Yangs in the past, but this was the first time I had really faced a dive kick-heavy Rufus.

I have a bunch more videos from the same night of my play, but I only won one set if memory serves me correctly. I am admittedly not great, and in my defense there were a lot of good players there.
man i do hate rufus, but you could won that imo, cuz he was doing unsafe shit/gimmicks (ie. 3 divekicks in a row? and mesiah after mesiah? cmon), i believe you just need more exp in that MU, i dont find it THAT difficult tbh (to me blanka and viper are more diff and Rufus to me is at the gouki´s level of difficulty, doesnt mean that is free either lol).
Against dive kicks try to late tech as much as you can, if you block one and if you have meter wait a little to see what´s going to do next, if he is doing another divekick do an EX sbk, he wasnt frame trapping you with st.lk, cl.mp so teching wont do any harm, if rufus jumps st.hp is your main AA, followed by max range cr.hk and st.mk, be careful with delayed divekicks tho, in this case he wasnt doing that, good rufus can mess with your spacing a lot with delayed divekicks. In my experience neutral jumping hk/hp is a good tool to use against air to air, do not overuse it tho (even air throw is a good AA, many rufus forget about this).
If rufus has meter bait the mesiah, they are slow as hell safe jumping them is not hard at all, f.throw, walk, j.hk will do as a easy safe jump. I use U1 in this MU, better damage after a EX legs, punish to his mesiah´s followups (including mesiah fadc) and cr.hp, his sweep is punishable with super same goes for EX galactic tornado. Another tip against his normal GT, he is -1 on block but mk super wont punish this, in the other hand he “cant” continue any pressure, but he can use this opportunity to bait some punish and activate mesiah, in other words you have to look for patterns, some rufus wont attack you after normal GT, but other will, punish accordingly.
If i have not say this is just because is pretty obvious: DO NOT JUMP WHEN HE GETS ULTRA, some rufus love to spam j.hk fishing for a jump, punish it on landing. Oh and remember the second kick of his target combo whiffs against crouching chun, cr.lk or cr.lp BnB will do.
Against happy backdashers i use the following OS: f.throw, dashx2, meaty cr.lp, st.lp+hp (hold back while doing this), in block you will see 2 jabs chaining, but in whiff st.hp tag rufus backdash, and if he does wake up mesiah you can block it. Why not OS sweep? because it loses to wake up mesiah ;_;.
i think that´s something you can use against rufus, you are free to disagree with this /disclaimer
@Malvadisco; thanks, lots of good advice in there. I agree with your first statement; I need more experience with the matchup. Before playing these sets I had only played the occasional Rufus online. You also recommended EX SBK against the repeated dive kicks…I just feel like the angle of the dive kick would beat it out or trade in his favor. I’ll have to check in the lab to see for myself, I suppose. Also, GREAT tip that FADC’d Messiah can be punished by U1!
In Merkilo’s defense, yeah he was doing really unsafe, gimmicky stuff, but it all worked against me. He’s one of the best players in my scene, so don’t judge him by what he used in those matches =P
^Hi, sent you a friend invite on youtube. Commented on one of the vids as well. Thanks!
yeah i have seen him in a few ranked YT matches, and dont worry a rufus player is always hard to beat, all im saying is that delayed dive kicks are the real pain in this MU imo
OK I watched the second video and am about to go to work so don’t have time to write a lot sorry, also not read what Mal wrote above but I imagine it covered a few things pretty well. Just a few tips that may have been covered by him but:
You’re letting Rufus walk all over you, if you’re not in the corner and he’s got past your keep out defence and divekicks, focus backdash the divekick then sweep him…
Stop letting him get in for free, Chun’s AA options against Rufus are pretty decent, if you knock him out of the air a few times he should learn that he has to adjust and so he’ll stop spamming divekicks: st.HP, st.HK are both really good at keeping him out if you learn to space and time them right. Again if he gets in remember you can focus backdash divekicks!
If Rufus has no meter be aggressive, you can attack him this will also mean you keep yourself out of the corner better.
If you get a forward throw on him dash then jump with HP then press HP+HK in the air (whilst keeping down back charge), its a safe jump so you will block EX Mesiah if he does it, it also option selects a sweep if he wakes up with backdash. This gives you a free way to either apply pressure or get him to waste meter…
I could write a lot more but sorry I don’t have the time 
Couples of videos from our crew’s last gathering. Features french/english commentary. Will probably add subtitles later on, but mute the vid if you don’t wanna hear it.

Hadn’t thought of that; I’ve had really bad experiences with focus backdashing jump-ins, I didn’t really think about the fact that Rufus has pretty short reach. More good advice, thanks =)
Some games vs my friend’s Rufus. Looking back, it’s definitely a “wtf am/was I doing” moment. :lol: Still don’t know why I jumped around and panic-crouched so much… I think I was a little too excited at finally learning how to do :d: :mk: stomps.
Pretty sure I need to use :df::hk: a LOT less too.
Definitely going to bait EX Jesus Kicks better the next time.

Had one crazy comeback against a friend online. Having a bit of fun in the beginning too 
We were talking about sending this to LiangHubBB but I dont think its quite on that level. 
This is why this game is my favourite of all-time.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Ov3rheadGreg for all the good NSB matches.
Speaking of good Chun’s…
I’m following this guy on Xbox and I really like his play style so I thought seen as YogaFlame24 actually uploaded this guy I’d share, in case anyone else decides to follow him, he plays a kinda aggressive style and is ideally the style of Chun I try to play (just not as good lol)…
[media=youtube]uHJJWO9xS3k[/media]
that was amazing.
so much to learn 
so many option with chun, i love it.
I was thinking she was doing more HSU’s than I would have liked, (didn’t seem like safe times to do so against Ryu) but I like this Chun. Too many fireballs (esp at the wrong ranges) and you get beat by Ryu… So while she didn’t throw as many fireballs as I would have wanted, this Chun made really good use of her walk speed and pokes to force the Ryu to play at the pace and range that she wants. Maybe I should use the jump up-back :hk: a lot more than I do the :df: :hk: flip kick.
LOL @ the obligatory “Hey! Does she have an infinite?!” remarks from the non-Chun players in the Youtube comments.
