s.mp, c.fp xx fierce criminal or the easier s.hp, c.mp xx fierce criminal for slightly less damage.
i gotta ask cause i have no idea but what is" nj " ?
I have a quick question.
Whenever I hit the lp mp link, what should I combo it into? I’m usually going into Criminal Uppercut, but I’m not sure if it is better to go into one of the Ruffian kicks or something.
the answers to both of your questions are in my combo thread’s OP

Whats the best way to end a blockstring? I’ve been using CU but people are catching on and punishing it.
S.Mp, Cr.Hp xx fierce upper for meterless.
My personal fave so far is : S.mp, Cr.Hp xx Hk Ruffian xx FADC, F+Hk, EX crim upper.
Costs 3 bars, does around 425 damage.
I abuse cr.mk a lot to pressure people. Is this bad?
I am silently seething about how I missed something on the first page.
I need help with a couple of combo’s. Firstly I can’t link a cr.LP out of a jab CU FADC. I’ve tried dashing forward as well as back. But I think the problem is that I’m FADC’ing too early? Another thing I had problems with is 3 x cr.LP, cr.LK xx mk RK. I guess I’m cancelling the cr.LK instead of linking, but whenever I try to link the LK gets blocked. Suggestions? Lastly I can’t hk RK, mk RK in the corner. The last RK comes out when my training dummy has already fallen too low to the ground.
you can’t land your roundhouse ruffian point blank if you want to juggle into forward ruffian for free afterwards. You want to try and hit with the last few active frames of your roundhouse ruffian, so you need to space it.
c.lp c.lp, c.mp xx rh ruffian, fwd ruffian works consistently on normally sized characters.
ay advice vs vegas cross ups? i really wanna be able to do more than blocking XD
absolutely none. deal with it. ex zonk if you must but don’t get predictable. I played balrog so im used to it… but at least i had a good backdash >_>
is jab criminal upper safe on block? i’ve been ending blockstrings with it and so far have not been punished…
vega crossups, its kinda unsafe (especially if he throws u), but u can focus dash in the direction he hits you, then punish. Just dont become predictable with it. Maybe cMK or b+mp
oh yeah forgot about focus backdash >_> havent played a vega in a long time.
ooc any tips on hitting ex CU after lp CU? I know it can only land in the corner, but I find I can’t hit it all the time
you have to do the ex CU right away. So buffer the EX CU while the first CU is still going. Just practice
with SF4’s really lenient input window, buffer the QCB and just start mashing three punches. you still need a little bit of timing, but not much
is it possible to crossup people throwing rocks on wakeup? I’ve hit a few people with it as they’re standing up, from behind, and cant tell if its crossing up or if they can’t block properly.
Sometimes I use cr. mk to slide under the cross up don’t make it a habit though…
