Execute! The Decapre Matchup thread

Classic Fighting Games Ultra Street Fighter IV
1

I think this is a needed topic in order to quickly stepping up our level as Decapre players.

Basically i’ll try to make a spoiler for every char in the game including punish, max combos, OSes, specific setups and notes about the opponent, and add infos whenever something interesting is discovered. I hope our community will be a good one!

Shoutout to Shiroyasha who inspired me this layout!
Thaks to all the contributors of the forum, your help is greatly appreciated!

I can probably already help for the char specific combos part :smiley:

10

I wont refuse some help, especially from the Sensei :slight_smile:

11

I love this kind of thread. Specially when the op decides to drop the character lol

12

How can i drop a char who’s not launched yet? lol

13

Not now, but later down the line. It’s happened before.

14

yep i was talking about this haha. Im not saying you would Ryg. I just find it funny and sad when it happens

15

Alioune, don’t hold back lets see these combos

16

Another thing that could help out TREMENDOUSLY is if you find a way to mark all the characters that don’t have any information/barely have any information. Nothing more disappointing than clicking through all the spoilers only to find emptiness.

Not expecting these to be loaded right now, but just you know, for the future.

17

I got command grabbed out of my U2 by Seth last night…

18

Explain the whole situation plz

19

so with vega if you’re mid screen with u2 and he tries wall diving to create space/whatever as long as you have charge you can inch forward to confirm he stays on the other side and ch punish with u2. if he gets offensive cl.mp stuffs him for the most part.

20

Probably was due to the distance, U2 Ground doesn’t cover whole screen. That happened to me before, tried to punish a sonicboom but the distance didn’t reached him and he SPD’ed me.

I think Dictator gives shitloads of trouble to DeCapre. His s.mk/hk stuff most of her stuff. Have anyone found options vs Headstomp?
