Chun-li Video/Discussion Thread

Sets against an Akuma from a while back. Some L’s and some W’s. The Demon Flip still frustrates me, and my execution definitely should have been better and I need to cut down on df+hk use. It’s 7 videos, using spoiler to load faster. Help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

my Chun vs a local Akuma

Work the crouch block more into your footsies. The second hit of Akuma’s f.rh whiffs on crouching Chun, giving you a free punish. If your Akuma opponent likes using f.rh, this is a great opportunity to score some damage on him. If you’re not confident of your reaction times, just punish with c.lk xx EX Legs, or c.lp x 2, s.lp, s.fp.

Work on hit confirming c.lk into EX Legs so that you don’t waste meter. Use meter if and when you have to, but Chun’s super can come in pretty handy in this match.

Sweep is not a good anti-air against Akuma. At all. If you see Akuma in the air, or you even think there’s the possibility of a jump/demon flip, just don’t do it. Also, be careful of ending block strings with sweep - your opponent wasn’t capitalizing on it, but that’s very easy to FA punish, or FA dash through for a meaty unscaled combo.

If you jump and you see your opponent going for FA, avoid hitting a button, land and throw them. If you see your opponent doing FA a lot in response to your jumps, start empty-jumping into throw, or jump in with stomp - this will allow Chun to bounce over the FA and potentially get a ground combo.

Don’t do DF+RH if it means giving up screen position.

You ate a lot of jump ins for…I don’t know what reason. Just block the jump-in, then worry about how you’ll respond after that.

As you saw, Kikosho is awful anti-air.

If you are going to do j.rh instant overhead, do it backwards. Forward is just asking to be punished. Although backwards is also plenty punishable - in general you should avoid it unless its a round-ender, or you think you can really take the opponent by surprise, or you know they don’t have a punish for it.

Thank you very much!

Yeah I should have gone Hosenka in this one. Wasn’t confident on that day, but def should have doing the rematch.

I didn’t notice the sweep strings til I repeatedly watched some of my own replays.

Def gonna replace it with something safer.

Some old AE mirrors from around the same time frame. I’m 2p, and my W’s were unfortunately not recorded.

I really should have won more, but I felt the buttons were uncomfortable. It was kinda hard to tech, and it taunted once when I only pressed :hp: – :wtf:

Anyway, I feel the other guy was really arrogant, and unfortunately a bit of that (combined with the massive crowd and noise got to me. Thank goodness my friend beat him soundly once it was his turn. I now see why many top players opt use headphones.

Mental toughness and the ability to block out a crowd seem to be a must on my to-improve list.

OTOH, HSU beating Kikosho = lol

Really great matches between Bison and Chun. It helped me work on my frame traps.

Sorry I uploaded a win and a loss I know I should only upload losses but I think I was at my very best in both fights, so why do I lose in one but win in the other

Wins are fine. It’s just that with losses, it’s easier to see where you got wrong. I’ll watch when I’m done with watching Evo SF2, and I’ll see if I can help.

OK if I upload again I’ll try and only put losses

@SGP FTW – first round, Sakura : Get your Hsu links down, following up your late round Hsu with Cr.lp, St.hp or Cr. Lk xx ExLLegs would have got you the win.
In the second round you practically handed Sakura the win. You gave up spacing and trapped yourself in the corner and when you got a nice a hit confirm with J. Hk you didn’t follow it up with anything. You’ve gotta captilize every chance you get with your best BnB.
You had good pokes and had smart kikouken throws – I just got the vibe you were afraid to go offensive. Sakura can be a handful if you let her bully you around so bully her first I say.

Second fight - you FINALLY used St. Mk, that’ll shut down Sakura’s jump ins all day. Same goes for J. Hp.
Overall in this fight you looks a lot more confident. Don’t forget what you can follow up with St. Mp – keep you opponent honest with a Hsu thrown in, or hammer out some Ex Legs. You did that a few times with Cl.St.Mp- far standing is even better especially with its counter hit potential.

I was going to say you need to space better and Anti Air Sakura’s jump ins but Rayartz got there first lol. There are lot of thing about your game to improve but that’s the same for every Chun (even mine sadly lol), Your hit confirms are worse than mine and that is the weakest part of my game and at times you chose the wrong time to press and the wrong time to run. Against Sakura hold your ground and just play on reaction to her, she jumps AA (with st.mk which it seems your learnt in the second vid) and if she’s not jumping then know your spacing to keep her out. Annoy her enough and she’ll make mistakes, then you can go in :slight_smile:

All that aside I think you have a good Chun and if you want to know why you lost in the first vid and won in the second, you played the match up pretty perfectly in the second one and in the first you let Sak control the game to much and tbf the Sak you were playing did get pretty much max damage from your mistakes and had a decent corner mix up (not that in the right hand corner Sak will always stay in front of you when she does that set up).

Oh yeah and welcome

Well, that’s not exactly what I meant. Just saying it’s easier to spot mistakes and backtrack to what you did wrong if it’s a loss. Though if you’re starting out, losses will definitely come before wins. I suppose just post videos as you see fit/feel they’re worth posting, and just leave a request for critique and feedback if you need it.

Looks like Wii and Rayartz have gone over them already, but I suppose I will too. I’ll just comment on the Youtube links, if ever.

This is pretty much the long and short of it. SF4 is oftentimes a game of, “first to get impatient and baited, loses.”
