Yep, i found out about that playing around the other day, its quite sick. Gotta be close to the opponent though for the shoryuken to connect. Havent seen it mentioned around here but if someone knows about it or has comments about how to use it better or why not to use it let me know hehehe :rolleyes:
Unsafe. Don’t use it
^Pretty much. If I have the opportunity to combo someone I’ll probably just go for the bnb or a rh tatsu for corner pressure.
Yar. 'Tis crap. D+MK->LK Tatsu->HP Shoryu >>> that.
But this is coming from someone who recently said Akuma’s Shakunetsu > Ryu’s EX Hadou, so don’t trust me.
Why not to use D+MK->HP Shoryuken?
- Lack of range.
- Completely punishable if Shoryu whiffs or is blocked, especially dangerous against those with 100%/pseudo 100% damage or stun combos eg. Urien/Makoto
- Above combo listed does much more damage and has more striking range. LK Tatsu is unsafe if blocked, but if the D+MK is blocked, then you should stop, or throw a HK Tatsu instead.what he said.
anyway, don’t forget about c.mk, mk tatsu, mp shoryu/hk tatsu. works against most crouching opponents.
okay maybe u used the wrong terminology since i see every one deviating onto other combos that aren’t wat i was talking about in the thread
what i meant was a crouching mk followed by a HP shoryuken
was i wrong in the way i used cr mk?
comment on that combo if i was pls :wgrin:
yeah it sucks, they are just talking about other combos that are better. low forward into fierce srk is difficult to hit confirm, if it can be at all, and puts you in the most vulnerable position akuma can be in if it whiffs. plus it has crappy range and does less damange than other combos.
i would be tempted to think its confirm rate is equal to the crouching mk>lk tatsu
they both start with the crouching mk…
the startup is not the same. it’s actually harder to confirm a LK tatsu. still, if you want to use crouch MK into shoryu, use the lp shoryu. longer range, confirmable, and does decent damage if cancelled into SA1. plus, if it whiffs, it’s better than an HP shoryu.
well you wouldnt really use the lk tatsu unless it was in punish situations anyway, but either way lk tatsu is less punishable than a fp shoryu. el diablo is right, if you insist on using this combo, use the jab shoryu, but its still not that great either way
if i hit confrim the crouching MK, why would i just to a simple lp shoryu, might as well go all out and rip a new one with the hp shoryu right?
Say what?
Anyways, xXFedXx, the reason you wouldn’t go HP Shoryuken is because the damage isn’t worth it compared to other combos that can be pulled from D+MK.
D+MK->Shoryuken is not “going all out”, as you say.
why not just do mk tatsu into mp shoryu or hk tatsu? There is nothing really good about this combo. plus, jab shoryu has better range than fierce shoryu.
yeah true ur right, i can do down mk then lk tastu then shoryuken. i was just thinking as an alternate option to that combo so i wouldnt be doing it that often. and the range thing about jab shoryu…can u explain that to me a bit better? :wonder:
