Why do people go for LP DP, HP DP juggle after a LK tatsu in the corner more than EX DP ?

to build more meter

[Amoni]

Here is a question I’ve always been curious about. When Evil Ryu FADC’s his LK axe kick, he’s +3 on hit. If you mash DP right after dashing, chances are you’re going to get a DP like 90% of the time. Only time you don’t is probably your own failure to some how mash incorrectly as far as I could tell. When he hits his MK axe kick he’s +4 on hit. But you can’t mash out a DP, you have to correctly time it. Can anybody tell me why mashing with one works but not the other?

This also seems to apply to his LK Tatsu -> HK Tatsu combo. You have to time it correctly rather than mashing out HK Tatsu. Idk why, just wanted to point that out.

Because you can buffer the special after dash. The same apply to all fadc combo (Gouki & Ken HP shoryuken fadc the 1st hit = +3, you can do this 100 time and never miss).

Evil’s ryu ex dp is +4 after fadc hit. If you’re godlike you can f.mp into ex dp fadc cr.mp cl.hp bnb

Well, Mk axe kick fadc would do the same, and Hado fadc is way easier, both cost only 2 meters

and go for LK axe kick fadc would have better damage

but you can’t execute anyone of those after a f.mp. I don’t suggest going into a match trying to land it, but you land a f.mp you could convert it into big damage with 3 bars.

oh well, landing far MP is not as common as landing cr.mk isnt it, and it is 3 bar. Of course it is safer than lk axe kick fadc (-5) i believe. But it is uncommon. For raw ex DP FADC then it is different, like the comment below

EX DP, FADC, into whatever can be a really scary option against opponents who try to meaty you on wake up. You can follow up with cr. MP, cl. HP, MK axe kick, cr. MP, LK tatsu, HP SRK for 411 damage. It’s very expensive at 3 bars, but who else can wake up SRK for anything close to that kind of damage without Ultra? I’ve never done it but it’s one of those things I hope to do one day in a actual match. I’ll probably follow up with cl. MP > MK axe kick instead because it’s easier. I have done EX DP > red focus > Ultra 2 a few times, that was pretty nice.

DP FADC Ultra 2 would be more efficient for the last case. But Ex DP FADC with 411 damage and a lot of stun is nice.

I have to admit, at intermediate level of play. Cr.mk xx lk axe kick rfc into ultra 2 is freaking OP.

Meter. And 2 DP is still < than HP DP alone. You dont go for Ex DP with E.ryu often since the combo is already very long and prob down to 10-20% damage

[Dannkk]

Something else I noticed about EX dp(first hit) fadc is that it forces stand. You don’t need cl.hp or c.hp to do a combo. You can just use cl.mp if you can’t hit those links.

What are his most reliable whiff punishers? I’ve been trying to get into him as to play offline. I’ve been switching from him & Ken but still haven’t decided which would I ultimately would stick with as the front runner. Also, I don’t think I’ve posted here before & I’m relatively new to the community. You may have met me at TFC. That was my 1st SF tournament. I’ve been in the FGC for nearly 3 years. DOA & MK were my 1st 2 competitive games offline. I play SF, DOA, MK, & VF. Been playing SF since the very 1st one & then SFII. Haven’t stopped since. Just wanted to wait until the most recent version of SFIV was released before I began getting deeper into it. I’m also on the SFxT Fightpad. Nice to meet you all!

I use s.mp into hcf.lk and s.mk.

[PhiZaRoaH]

Hi everyone, would just like to introduce myself. I’ve been following the forum for sometime, just never posted. I’ve been playing E.Ryu mainly since my return to the game after a 3 year break(you lose A LOT IN 3 years of not playing a single game).

I’ve been in the lab trying to keep my AA’s & Footsies on point, sometimes they get rusty if I bounce around from character to character but I have noticed that when patient & you choose correctly, C.Mk can drive opponents nuts. Lol

Just attempting to keep my game grounded & work on adding hit confirms to my game at a higher rate & practicing new combos even if I drop them more than reciever with one hand.

I’ll be posting plenty. Nice to meet you all & read up to this point.

Thanks for that. Sorry for the late reply. It was buried in my notifications from the tiers thread xD

I’ve been lurking literally everywhere bar the characters I main. About time I posted on this sub-forum…been playing Evil since early AE days, he was the character that really levelled up my execution to a much higher standard than before.

I have a little question about the Rufus specific, and the amount of loops possible at max without FADC. I’ve maxed out at 2 before leaving cr.hp range, but I was wondering if there were any specific combinations that extend it even further while remaining meterless.

[DokiVio]

Hello peeps,

I’m having trouble executing the following combo cr.MK->EX hadouken -> FADC -> ultra 2

I can’t dash ultra with a joystick xD I can’t seem to adapt to its motions. Is there a trick to doing dash and ultra 2 motion consecutively?

[vLucifer]

Hold forward when when you cancel then press forward again. You have time to do Ultra after EX FB. Don’t got to do it immediately. @dokivio

[DokiVio]

Don’t got to do it immediately. @dokivio

Thanks for the trick, I don’t normally throw ex fireball, it’s kind of weird pressing 2 push buttons and doing a fadc xD By taking my time, it really increases my chance of landing the U2!

---

Aside from that I encountered another question regarding cr.mk -> L.Axe kick -> FADC forward -> cr.LP
I’m trying to practice whiff punishing moves with this combo. I’m not sure if it has to be on a counterhit. For sure being a counterhit would increase my chance to land this combo.

[PhiZaRoaH]

Anyone else in here Run E.Ryu on a Pad?

I switch between the two. I learned the game on pad so I’m a bit more fluid on it, I still train hard on my Fight stick but I have noticed that on Pad that the cr. Lp or Cr. mp after the axe kick sometimes on pad can be a pain to land.

[vLucifer]

@DokiVio‌ When doing Cr.mk you can actually slightly delay an Axe kick or any special because how long it stays out.

Hi,

I’ve just started playing around with Evil Ryu. So is there any tips/tricks to connect those lp after his dive kicks?

[PhiZaRoaH]

Pretty much just hold down & tap. Lol

Are they just not coming out for you?

[lebot]

yeah, i keep missing the link. #edit: I was thinking maybe there’s a specific timing I need to press those punches on? If it’s just hold down and tap, guess need more time getting it down in the lab. lol.

I just go straght for cl.mp xx mk axe kick

Also if you dive to the head, dont bother linking anything. At least aim for a meaty dive to the belly and below

[Killey]

Okay so how does Daigo kara-demon from the hop kick without a dash or block string? I’ve seen him just walk forward and do it without any visual jabs being buffered so I’m not sure if he’s masking it somewhere else. Is he just inputting the command during the hop kick fast?

[c4nn0n]

F+MK+LP x2, F+LK+HP… gotta do it fast af. Same goes for F+MP.

[Dannkk]

Moving to neutral in order to do two forward inputs takes a lot of time. It’s faster to just move from forward to down forward or up forward. It will still work.
