Dive Kick? Yun General Discussion Thread

it’s james chen

there are a couple though (forgot them all, sorry, haha.)

cr.mp, cr.mp, cr.mp, cr.mk xx mp lunge is reliable…gotta pay attention to their stance in some cases though. also, corner carry is better than hk kicks mix ups in general (lk kicks on the other hand…)

What tournament players use yun other the kazunoko and hsien chang?

MCZ.DM.Kaiser is the only other Yun player I know who plays high level. All 3 players have different styles.

PR Rog has very recently picked up Yun as a side character.

DUDES!

DUDES!

Gamerbee just picked to Yun right now versus Tokido to fight his Akuma!

EDIT: And he lost :frowning:

I don’t understand counterpicking akuma with yun. Ryan Hart did it a little while ago against infiltration to.

I’ve always had a hard time playing against akuma.

Yun is Akuma worst match up.

Definitely among his worst. Yun has an answer for almost everything Gouki can do, has high stun output, and his damage nerfs don’t hurt as much since Gouki has 850 health to begin with. It’s not so bad that you can just pick the character without having a good understanding of both characters though. Maybe in AE (ok highly likely), but not in 2012. It kinda looked like Gamerbee was trying to play Yun with AE experience of the character and that wasn’t gonna work.

Wow really?

I’m probably doing something very wrong because I do very badly against akuma and dahlsim.

Dude… Dhalsim is like… so free…

Yun beats Akuma. If Akuma looks dominant, the player is just good and knows the matchup.

It’s probably 6-4 Yun I would imagine. Divekick>sweep, st.rh whiffs and Yun can get under fireballs. But Yun still gets vortexed and pressured up close with cr.mp/throws etc. and he has low health/stamina as well.

Yun beats akuma 6-4 easily stuns easily punished teleport and with u2 u take away air fb.

If they update the game again I wish yun would get his old dive kick back and keep all his nerfs.

Starting to main Yun for an upcoming tournament. Go online to practice. First 3 matches are Zangiefs. FML.

^ Happened to me. 2 Giefs and a Hawk, but the Giefs sucked lol. Palmed them all day.

Yun has more buttons to deal with gief then hawk.

I find hawk much harder to deal with

I’m the opposite, I have a friend who mains Hawk so I’m pretty much okay with that matchup despite on recently trying out Yun. I know what to look for. Gief on the other hand scares me (except those two I mentioned who were mad salty afterwards too).

I’ve noticed Yun is considered top 10 by a few people now, along with Sagat. Some people are arguing about them though since Ryu/Balrog weren’t there.

So I’ve started working on a comprehensive list for Yun setups after basically anything: Throws, any combo enders, crumple/cl.mk resets, etc. It isn’t by any means a tutorial or info covering footsies/combos, etc, just setups and resets, really. Yun’s a great character and very fun to play which makes it kinda sad how sluggish the Yun boards are. Hopefully, getting some more information in one place will help everyone/foster discussion.

I’ll be making a list of my setups and any good setups I see in play, probably in a separate thread soon. Of course i’d also like to hear any of you guys’ setups. I will make the list if only for my own improvement, but would this be something anyone is interested in?

yes please, we need more good yun info in here!

also how does yun matchup vs ryu?
