Dive Kick? Yun General Discussion Thread

Going to do a Yun tutorial on my stream! Hope to see you guys in chat asking questions/chilling :wink:

Sick! I’ll give your stream a follow. I’m new to Yun and have been watching some videos. Kazunoko is great, don’t really like Taiga or Hsien’s play style. Was looking for some videos of your Yun after reading your tutorial but couldn’t find any Ultra gameplay of your Yun…only annoying ass Decapre!

I just now realized that when you land red focus in the corner and want to use your Ultra combo, doing palm > Ultra > HP lunge punch does a bit more damage than Ultra > LP shoulder > HP lunge punch(it’s 495 compared to 490). The damage difference is very minimal but I also think it’s a just a tiny bit easier as well. The only Yun player I’ve seen doing this is PR Rog though. Since the difference is so small it almost doesn’t matter which one you use but which one do you guys use?

Taiga is sick mang, da fuq!?

The difference is that with the second combo, you can reset after the LP shoulder with HK divekick into whatever.

How tight is that actually, i’ve practiced it for a few weeks back for an hour or so, it feels REALLY difficult. I think it also depend on how early you land the lp shoulder though.

Let me know what you guys think. I probably missed some things because I was going off the top of my head.

Give me all your tech. All of it.

Will watch it later/when I have time. I’m sure it’s grouped with a lot of information, Godlike stuff and scumbaggery.

Edit: You’re not retarded. Blanka’s hitbox was just a beta for Elena’s.

cr.fp is great against yun/yang/rufus’ dive kicks bro. That move blows up dive kicks

Yo good stuff and solid Dj Okawari banner on your page.

Why not just use cr.mp? Similar hitboxes, hurtbox doesn’t extend above the hitbox either, good amount of active frames and most importantly it has a lot less recovery frames. Which against divekicks is great because if your button presses get baited by a neutral jump there’s a lot less risk to get punished.

Because cr fierce is active for much longer than cr strong. I only use cr strong for OS tech against Rufus. But far as stopping dives in neutral, cr fierce is the best button for the job.

You really shouldn’t be getting pubished for using cr fierce in neutral. You shouldn’t be using that button from like two character spaces away anyway during the dive kick match ups. Anywhere closer, then lk dp, air to air, does the job.

How do people setup the crossup mk, i have a few things, mainly x-copy from others though, interested to see how everyone sets it up.
-forward throw, hp shoulder, very very slight walk back/wait, jump forward.mk(works excellent against characters with wide hurtboxes such as Oni, Vega, Rolento etc)
-AA lk Upkicks, wait(or even slightly walk back) jump forward mk(you have to anti when they are a bit further away to get the proper spacing)
-cr.lk/lp, st.lp, st.lk blockstring, jump forward mk ()
-Corner without setup, just time it meaty
-Corner, after a lk dive reset

I’ve almost completely dropped playing yun, i’ve been enjoying yang’s playstyle more in ultra :frowning:
I feel like i’m cheating on my homie for his sibling

I really gotta face a good Gief to learn this matchup. The ones I face either just picked up the character, or just getting back into SF4. Random lariat spammer in lag on XBL doesn’t cut it, I will just Blanka until they quit.

If Julio is still lurking here, what makes you see dudley as 6-4 for dudley?

I’m definitely not disagreeing, just curious as i have trouble against good dudleys as well lol

he can land stand fierce as an anti-air consistently and the damage stacks up.

his fierce is also just a straight up good button against Yun in neutral game

and eating counter hits into ex machine gun blow puts Yun at near stun/death quickly everytime.

dudleys overhead trades with Yuns reversal roundhouse upkicks.

Dudley can hang with Yun in the neutral game pretty damn well with his stand fierce and various other normals, and he has more life to afford.

It’s scary if the dudley knows how to optimize their combos off of the overhead too. once he goes into ex machine gun blow yuns screwed if he guesses wrong on dudley’s incoming mixup.

Interested, I always thought it was the other way around. I’ve faced good Dudleys, but then again, they’re not Smug level…

Do you use Sim as a counterpick? I think I may need one if I can’t combat this demon, but I hate Sim in this game. I can play Juri/Sagat/Guile.

Old main was Bison, with Cammy/Ken as secondary and messed around with Yun for fun.

That’s very similar to how i felt in this matchup, good to know i wasn’t necessarily wrong although people seemed to think i was haha.

Thanks for the input!

I played smug at evo in a ft.5 and got bopped! Then i lost to some other dudley in a money match, i need more dudley experience cause that match seems damn hard sometimes.

and i only use Sim to counter pick Hugo’s. Sim can just do so many messed up things to Hugo its ridiculous.

Other than that i’ll always play Yun even against T-hawks and Zangiefs. One of my favorite things to do is to play t hawks and then just reaction uppercut all their condor spires, i hate that move.
