Still working on lariating dash punches on reaction

if you want to know how to fail against a good chun li… watch my match vs drs nashfan lol…it’s pretty ugly . as you can see i don’t play rank matches lol

[media=youtube]lIllwuWroDM[/media]

fighting online chunli is a huge pain,
her overhead flip is very difficult to block online, and if the lag is not a bit, it’s almost impossible to react.
and she is totoally safe after the block.

Nashfans a monster dont feel bad hes one of the best. Losing to him will teach you more than beating 100 scrub chuns. Also the only time you were airborn on wake up was when you went for the U2 at the end it was a pretty odvious bait. The real value of that ultra is so you can do meaty jump wake up mix ups vs a Chun with bar without them ex bird kicking. If you never go for those meaty and stay grounded the whole time on wakeup when you are jumping around why would they exbird kick unless they think something else is coming. You need to set up that ultra if you are going to use it like that.

theres no set ups for that ultra… it’s a complete guess. i mean, that ultra is a command air grab which means you would have to know they are going to do a airborne move lol . i mean, i’m finding ways but it’s still a big ass guess but you can make it a educated guess but once your opponet sees that you have that ultra they will just not do anything that’s considered airborne lol. i was just wreckless and desperate lol

edit
watching that again, if chun did anything that was considered airborne i would have got her… ie backdash, hazanshu, ex bird, so, i covered a few options but like i said, he just stood there lol

Every throw in this game is a read. That ultra is hard to setup, but the fact that he didn’t jump meant that he read your impulses.

In this situation, wouldn’t Chun’s best option risk/reward change from jump to block depending on if Gief uses Ultra I or Ultra II, respectively? An empty jump HP SPD wouldn’t have won you the game like Ultra I might have.

[COLOR=#000000]Sorry I’m not sure how to timestamp Jtv’s stuff. This was the character auction tournament from UFGT. Earned myself some cash. Caught a few breaks but I still think I played pretty decently. Had to pay what is costs to rep Gief.[/COLOR]

Video 1:

he down+backs on your blocked pokes, so SPD him with the new range.

when you cross him up and beat his air shoryu with splash and he techs in the air, if he has two bars backdash on his wakeup as he is likely to srk.

use option select crouching lp on his hard kick

Video 2: Sloppy match all round. Stop doing whiffed green hands from mid screen, it’s stupid

Video 3: a goood sagat will TU that sweep at the end of round 1 no problem

Video 4: from watching this video it seems that whiffing gh is your idea of footsies. Vs gief, ken has two main pokes:

fwd+mk, which you can stuff with cr.lp

cr.mp, which you can stuff with cr.lk/st.lk

So you need to use these pokes while advancing, in order to stuff the moves he is trying on you. At the moment you are whiffing gh and eating SRK for no good reason. You took all your damage in round 1 from having zero foootsies. Also you can focus through and spd. Your random EX GH towards the end of round 3 should have lost you the game.

An example of poking Ken

Video 5: Put a dollar in a jar every time you do random green hand… Also that player was shit. To start a round vs gief with jumping hard kick is retarded. 3 versions of the game and people are still eating anti air lariat

whiff lp hand is the “online tech” any good player know how to poking will beat that without problem.

Appreciate the feedback.

Agreed, the people in those videos are pretty awful. Typical online stuff. Also, if you want better feedback, you should post up videos of yourself getting beat. And please, no more random GHs.

That Sagat was trash imo. It’s like he had no idea how to punish ur mistakes. U landed so many random ex.gh’s it was ridiculous. Also u seem to really love jab gh to absorb fireballs. Every time u did it u ate a boot to the face or were hit. Any good player will punish u hard for spamming it like u did. Against Sagat just walk forward bro. No need to rush in at all.

Vs Ken I don’t think I saw a single cr.jab or cr.lk-os-gh. Just a few random ex.gh’s and more jab gh’s absorbing fireballs. That Ken played worse as the match went on. Using regular gh like that is a really bad habit imo which I’m sure u know.
