Eagle Advanced Strats and Tactics

C.mp beats out cammys Spiral Arrow (thank u combofiend), if they RC it then low counter that shit.

If your opponent likes to safe fall frequently, after a Fk throw punish them from anywhere on screen:

HCF+FP (1 hit), [FKx2,far FP],HCF+MK (1 hit), [close S.FKx3],
[HCF+MK]x2, HCF+LK, Super.

DMG:7452…adding the throw…DMG:9552

Hit conformation CC:

C.Lpx2, activate, S.Mk, S.Fk, S.Fp, HCF+Mk (1 hit), FKx3, [HCF+Mk]x2,
at the last hit of previous HCF+Mk, HCF+Fk, Super.

DMG:7352…with one jab it takes…7652
(you can CC off of C.Mk as well, but its not as practical.)

Just posting my safe fall idea I posted a while ago, and the hit conformation CC, I put up there cause in a previous post in Ongoing Tier Thread (general strategy) he stated that this CC takes 6500 or so, but my version takes a little more damage. Anyway just posting this here if anyone cares.

Fight On:nunchuck:

2 quick questions… They might’ve been answered somewhere in the thread, and if so, I apologize… I’ve read this whole thing like twice over the last couple months, not really up for doing it again right now :(…

Anyways…

Eagle Vs. Iori- How does this matchup go? A friend of mine plays C-Ken/Chun/Iori(2) and his Iori is always giving me problems. Any suggestions on things I can try?

Secondly, I was tooling around in Survival mode on PS2 with C-Eagle, I was fighting Honda (unfortunatly I can’t remember which groove) and on the final hit I was going for a crossup j.RH, but I hit MK instead of HK… the hit flash (the little explosion looking thing) was on Honda’s back, I landed on the other side of him, and he fell backwards towards me… Now I’ve tried to do this a few times again, but couldn’t get it to work the same, any thoughts?

Again, I apologize for asking questions that have possibly already been answered, but any help you can provide is appreciated :slight_smile:

But, you do make a good point though Gwai Lo.

Popoblo, if you do make a vid I’d be happy to help. :tup:

What are your options against K hibiki? Im having a little trouble with this match. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

nevermind I got help with this already.

Any tips for beatting Sagat?

look earlier in the thread.

Cool, I’ll check up on it.

Eagle is ok, I used to think he was really good but has some really shitty matchups.

Yes sir indeed.

Keep random pokes to the minimal, and punish fierces with your fierce punch. Don’t use the C.rh from too close or eagles forehead will be meeting a fist/s.lk/etc. Rc lariat is the best AA against sagat on all angles (especially when he jumps from a distance where your c.fp will get clipped from the side, and where s.mp might trade), so learn RC lariat. Fierce punch lariat is safe against a blocking sagat when he is forced to the corner (there is no gaps if he is right in the corner good for pressure and most sagats get shocked by this). Sagat is eagles worst matchup for sure i would say.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, I’ve been fucking around with Eagles s.fp against cross ups and it creates a pretty good mix up. Sometimes the close fierce comes out and smacks them from over your head, and sometimes it whiffs and he does the far FP and steps really far forward and they fall next to you weirdly and you can throw them at times for a good mixup. Obviously the lariat is the best anti-crossup option, but this is just another option I’ve been fuckign around with

what is Lariat?

any tips for beating Vega?

Lariat is the Half Circle backward and punch move.

Eagle versus vega personally I believe is greatly in Eagles favour. Just anti air with the c.fp when he jump at you, and use eagles regulars on the ground and you will find it stuffs alot of vegas shit. Also the medium punch counter is good against spammed Rc rolling claw things.

eagle’s lariat is a qcb + p, not a hcb=)

good shit roger.

Damn I’ve really started playing eagle alot at svgl, and personally he just gets wooped by guile/vega c.mp,non turtle A-bison,momentum ken,A-dhalsim,

Standing mp is good antiair, use like Sak RC bird kick,
Standing FK gets no love…it’s good! After cmk, throw that shit(meaty standing Fk, walk,cmk,standing FK, it comboes of the cmk is CH, big gaued damage otherwise)
Clk,standing LK into LK rush is safe as fuck, just get random wit it.
FP throw, take a step back jump fk,cross’s up but you land in front…sooooo what you do is activate in the air get the wierd crossup, land and you opponent will be like WTF!!!(cause you land in front)
clpx3 into cmp 1st hitxxmk rush, is my B&B(or x2)
activate cmkx2 stnading FKxxmk rush standing FP x 6 or 7? mk rush like 3 times then super.
activate throw, RC rushxx standing jab throw.

more later!

Okay, I’d thought I picked up Eagle since he seems to be a pretty solid character. I’m using A-Groove with him and I have no idea what to do. I usually like try to poke, turtle, AA, and look for ways to land my CC.

What can I do other than that?
Like what are some of my best pokes, gaurd crush, and bnbs?

Sorry if this has been already asked.

look in the thread, all that stuff has been covered.

Hay after his bnb combo what do i do 2 cover my self some time i get ken’s clk,clp,clk super to the face or random k super. any sugest?

I was thinking of using Eagle but I use N or K groove, are they compactible with him

What in the fuck do you think you should do, BLOCK and stop mashing:tup:
