Another question on Sagat. Are there any punishes for ex tiger knee when he does it up close?
Sounds like a decent Sagat to me… And why are you getting hit by DPs or TKs every time you get close? Just block.
Mix up regular fireballs with jab and fierce shaku fireballs (the red ones) during fireball wars. You can’t just blindly go all out and attack Sagat, you need to zone and move in cautiously. Never jump forward over his fireballs, he can kara tiger uppercut them or forward RH you of the air and you can get hit with a lot of damage. Mixup your approach with neutral jumps, focuses, and fireballs. Once you get a knockdown on him, just try to keep him down there. His tiger uppercut is a 5frame start up so you can safe jump him or use safe palm. Finish all tatsu combos with sweep (unless going for the kill or practical additional damage) and hit confirm any standing combos into sweep also. Mix in demon flip throws once you conditioned him to block on his wake up.
I just find it interesting that you don’t post the video of this one and you call the guy a scrub when he’s doing what he’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing with Sagat: good zoning.
Ex Knee is -1 on block so you can Reversal Super him. Other than that, best you can do is throw him, but that sets up your safe jumps and cross up tatsus. LK, MK, and HK Tiger Knee is -7, -9, and -12, respectively, meaning they are VERY punishable
His overhead is hard to react to, but if you block it, you can Super or Reversal SRK as it leaves him -3 on block.
His tiger knees can be tip’d though. They’re safe if they do that.
Hey guys, just wanna share this awesome win. Incidently it’s the first match I’ve ever recorded of me playing akuma. I barely eaked out a win in epic fashion. I’d like a few notes though. That other akuma was a rushdown beast. Most of his win went down like the first round. I’d like some notes on when I could have punished him or done things differently.
Fix the link please
Speaking of reversal Super: it happened to me yesterday that even though I reversaled a Super on Ken’s (landed) EX Tatsu, he got away (and I was like “No way!”). I’m positive I reversaled it, I read “reversal” right after the screen flashed with the Super activation. I cannot remember the exact circumstances, but iirc he just punished my SRK with a cr.HP xx EX Tatsu.
How’s that possibile? Wasn’t it like -2 or -1? SRK wiki be damned, wonder what’s happening there…
I’m afraid I lost that replay, it jsut came to my mind an I played more than 25 matches since yesterday.
Shout out to Richard Nguyen glad i got to play you at Round 1, Choked hard yesterday:sad:

The only tatsu that is punishable by Reversal Super on hit is his HK Tatsu. Ex Tatsu is +1 on hit, iirc.
This.
Lol I’m an idiot, I was totally thinking of HK Tatsu. Oddly, I’ve landed it many times even on the EX version…
As have I, but that’s only because they decided to stay grounded in order to apply some pressure or throw you. Don’t get me wrong, I reversal Super any blocked or hit Tatau from Ken, no matter what strength or type it is. Not a whole lot of Ken’s neutral jump after landing a tatsu, and 330 damage is a lot off a gimmick lol
too bad you threw the 2nd game away just to show off…
Hahah, we were both a bit off at times. I accidentally did an OS lp srk instead of hk demon flip at one time. God dangit, I just hit the wrong button. Super brain fart.
But gg! You’re good for sure. Just get more experience and do better setups on your knockdowns. You were doing some pretty risky demon flip palms on my wake up, where I could’ve just srk’ed. I think you should mainly do the df dive kick above my head with an OS late hk demon flip to track teleports either way. Mix that up with a demon flip palm that crosses up and that’d be goood.
i was surprised i stunned him to be honest, i wasn’t trying to show off…
ok…i thought so because a jump in combo would have won you the round/match
There is no confidence in your game play but at least you know how to use a combo.
way too many df in that rufus match…his s.fierce will hit you out of it ALL the time. Maybe he just didn’t know or he lacked the reflexes. Other than that, nice fight, but watch out since a better player wouldn’t have let you get away with all those c.mk xx flip etc
Can anyone explain how to do this?
