Just focus tech.

just something u may add i find it pretty usefully.

a blocked guile sweep, after the first hit during the gap to the second hit u get free ultra if u can input it fast enough.
(they tend to use that move alot so many opportunities)

Hopping back to that option select talk: Here’s a video from Ultradavid showing shouoken buffered behind f.MK [media=youtube]tnXYcNgLE5M#t=7m45s"][LINK[/media]

That is interesting :o Don’t know many Dhalsim but guess it works on Seth and Bison as well.

Gotta laugh at the “Yeah right! Like I’m really going to help out Sagat.”

i have a question, in the basic combos section, what does the notation “RH” mean?.

learning to play as sakura is comming along slowly, but hopefully i’ll get more consistent.
thanks for the guide!

Jab - weak punch (also called LP or WP)
- Strong - medium punch (also called MP)
- Fierce - fierce punch (also called HP or FP)
- P - any punch
- PPP or 3P - all three punches simultaneously
- Short - weak kick (also called LK or WK)
- Forward - medium kick (also called MK)
- Roundhouse (RH) - fierce kick (also called HK)
- K = any kick
- KKK or 3K - all three kicks simultaneously

Yoinked it from the SRK wiki.

Yeah I really should have streamlined and used only HK or RH, but it was late at night and I wanted to get the guide done before I put it off and never got it done (not that it is finished yet!)

Glad to here the guide help people.

Question everyone, is the 1 frame FADC really a 1 frame FADC? Because I read somewhere, from a questionable source that the first 3-4 frames of FA aren’t dash cancellable. So?

Sugami · December 22, 2009, 3:03am

For example, off Ryu’s Shoryuken:
* normal forward dash: 18 frames
* shoryuken blockstun: 20 frames
* forward dash out of a focus attack: 17 frames
*** uncancellable duration: 4 frames **
20 - 17 - 4 = -1

So Ryu is at a 1 frame disadvantage after a Shoryuken FADC.

Think that’s probably what you’re referring to. It’s different in Sakura’s case because her Shououken works differently to your average DP. Think it means you can’t cancel the SRK until 4 frames into it, not referring to the Focus Attack.

codallenschmidt · December 23, 2009, 11:06pm

ha ha u used my reset. glad to see it used by someone. good stuff man. i also like the one hit otoshi the go back to attacking. good stuff

amigdala · December 23, 2009, 11:31pm

ok,thought 5mins about “one hit otoshi?!what’d he mean?” xD

no m8,it was dash->jFP->cLK etc… but nice stuff,right.quick and not so hard to execute (very good for enemies who expect a cross up after reset)

Sugami · December 23, 2009, 11:32pm

By “one hit otoshi” you mean the j.HP

Edit: beaten to it

codallenschmidt · December 23, 2009, 11:41pm

lol yeah the j hp that was good stuff. it looked like a short jump to me thats why i thought otoshi but if i guess if it was otoshi it would have been a knockdown… my bad xP

eiSH · December 23, 2009, 11:57pm

Pretty cool =) Looks like you don’t have to dash though? Can someone confirm?

codallenschmidt · December 24, 2009, 12:23am

no u dont have to dash just walk forward a little then do it.

amigdala · December 24, 2009, 12:32am

i dont rly know,what exactly u mean,but:

after exTatsu,u have to dash,before jFP

and after that lkCrossup jump after crumble u have to dash under him too
