Dive Kick? Yun General Discussion Thread

lol y’all guys know you can command throw guile into cr.lk, lk upkicks, ultra 1? It works.

Set play against decapre. Forward throw + jump forward + jump forward + at the highest point do a lk dive kick and it will always cross up. Ofcourse dont work against delay wakeup, but it xbox live nobody delay wakeup anyways lol.

cr.mk, jab shoulder, red focus does not work against fuerte. He is able to block the red focus.

you dont have to double tap but it can make 2 frame links easier. I suck at double tapping links so i usually only double tap specials when im linking them (like in the ex palm, lp shoulder, hp lunge combo) or when im using them to time safe jumps/setups.

I just plink all of my links instead as im much more comfortable with that.

A perfect plink turns a 2 frame link into a 3 frame
A perfect double tap turns a 2 frame link into a 4 frame link.

Yea i noticed something that when i was trying to punish ex bomb. St mp xx RFC doesnt work vs him either for that specific punish. it works normally though. something about the spacing i guess.

For yun, all you need to learn is how to plink and you will never look back again ^^

Who do you guys secondary?

So with the incoming patch what are the chances of this scumbag character taking a nerf or two? :smiley:

What is scumbag about him? i’d love the enlightenment.
The “worst” offender that he benefits from is a global mechanic that he benefits off of very well.

as for my secondary, it use to be E.Ryu but i dropped him in Ultra for dudley again. He’s too fun

Atm I’m going with Ken as the secondary, just because he’s the only other character I’m good with other than my old main.

I wouldn’t say Yun is a scumbag, he just benefits from the system changes. The only scumbag is the Yun train that said he was trash in AE2012.

Holy shit am i ever thrown off by Yuns new costume in action… it’s so weird seeing him with normal legs, not wearing big ass parachute pants haha

22 different colors is $$$$ though!

It really makes him feel like he moves faster with skinny legs lol

Not sure if this is known, so thought I’d share.
I’ve found a more optimised corner carry combo after red focus.

Traditionally I used to do

smp > lp shoulder > red focus> heavy shoulder > heavy lunge

I discovered that you can do this

smp > lp shoulder > red focus> wait a few frames > medium shoulder > heavy lunge

Timing is tight but it does 363 instead of 348

You can also do red focus > double dash >light shoulder > heavy lunge to push them further towards the corner and do the same damage but I think this is character specific as I keep missing it on rolento.

Let me know if this was already well known

Trying to get a list of all the scenarios for the best damage options after I get a Shoulder into Red Focus as well as awesome resets!

-Midscreen, meterless, Ultra:
-Midscreen, meterless, no Ultra:
-Midscreen, 1 meter, Ultra:
-Midscreen, 1 meter, no Ultra: EX Palm, L Shoulder, H Lunge
-Corner, meterless, Ultra:
-Corner, meterless, no Ultra:
-Corner, 1 meter, Ultra:
-Corner, 1 meter, no Ultra:

Kinda asking a lot, but all your help would be awesome!

im putting up a video atm on your question @LungePunch‌ well part of it atleast ha.

I am wondering is it still possible to kara palm and kara command throw with yun?

if so could anyone reply with the inputs . thanks !

Been trying to perfect the meaty overhead setup in the corner (palm, lp reset, f+mk meaty into c.lp, etc.) but my timing either makes the overhead whiff or not link properly. Does anyone have any timing tricks for this, or is it all just practice?

standing or crouching lp?
close and far standing lp recover faster than cr.lp, i use cr.lp for the timing, never whiffs.

Still considering a secondary. Got some T. Hawk games in, doing good. Same for Hugo. Gief still scares me and I’ll always hate Balrog.

Could anyone explain me how to do OS block? I dont even know what it is.
And some practical applications for yun.

Does Yun wake up from grounded faster than other characters? After MK upkicks my neutral jump mk safejump for 4 frame reversals keeps whiffing. I get a similar problem with cammy and that’s because of her faster wakeup.

Some 4 frame safejumps do not work against Yun because of how upkicks hitbox initially activates. For example, Ibuki’s standard 4 frame safe do not work against Yun in most cases midscreen. You’ll need to test multiple options.

No. All 4 frame safe jumps work against Yun. If your 4f safe jump doesn’t work it’s because
A.) it’s not a true safe jump (spacing makes the opponent’s reversal hit a frame later than normal) or
B.) you fucked up the timing

Normals whiffing on otherwise legit setups are usually a result of wonky hitbox interaction. You are still safe from reversals in these situations though. I find this happens somewhat often against Guy, Yang, and Yun. Try using a different normal or coming up with a character specific setup.
