Thanks!

Jump back into LP SPD. That is Messiah Kick bait!!! I Love it.

Thanks for sharing. Presented By Capcom.

hehehee, I am also looking into what kara spd can punish and how his air normals affect his trajectory. USF4 gief needs all the help me can get

I’ve thought about the ability of using LP SPD as a far anti-air, and, whether or not EX SPD can be used as an anti-air, much like Akuma’s Ultra 1. You would need a low profile buffer, and PERFECT timing.

Can it be done? EX SPD to function like Wrath of the Raging Demon?

LP Spd is already a good far range anti air, as long as you have a sense of the timing. once they wiff their jump in then its a free grab. as for the ex, its kind of difficult with Zangief normals being so slow. but I will look into it

hey ugo_2u. I don’t have any capturing gear at the moment, but hopefully soon, so I can start releasing vids :slight_smile:

Can you post a video, that shows the U2 50/50 gamble against 5 frame aerial reversals, after EXGH combos. It’s a tight 1 frame execution!!! But you can do it consistently after practice. Just gotta learn the timing.

I know it works against Sagat, but will have to test against Fei and Cammy’s back dashes. It should grab them.

After a hit confirm combo into EXGH, there’s no way, Sagat can avoid the 50/50. U2 grabs back dashes, jumps, Tiger Uppercut, EX Tiger Uppercut, Tiger Knees, EX Tiger Knees, Super and Ultra 1. In the case of Ultra 1 and 2, you’ll be in pre-jump during the Ultra pause, and can simply jump the Ultra, land into L2 FA for a big punish. Or for some strange reason, cancel the pre-jump frames into EXGH or PPP Lariat - albeit for lesser damage to end the round. Mixing the U2 up with HP SPD.

In Ultra SF4, a more “balanced” 50/50 would be achieved with U1 and U2 in Ultra W mode. They lose significant damage either guess. But if Zangief’s U2 at 60% is too weak, it would ruin the odds, and make Sagat take to the skies (Tiger Uppercut, Back dash, Jump) to receive less damage. And we don’t want Sagat using, or encouraging him to use, his escape options. :frowning:

I still think U2 is the Ultra against Sagat, despite losing the SPD-LPGH 50/50 U2 game, due to delayed wake up in USF4. But if they do delay, you can sail safely over them, and land before they get up. You’ll be in at least 47 frames of recovery, but you should be far away, provided they aren’t in the corner. For that guessing game, you’ll probably have to use SPD-MPGH, and the odds are now: 33/33/33 - split between grounded/aerial or delayed wakeup

Both Ultra’s can punish all blocked Tiger Uppercuts, but now that EX Tiger Knee is 0 on block, there goes some of U1 utility. But the threat of U1 after LPGH is a factor, it’s still hard to say. U1 loses to reversals, jumps and back dashes. U2 can be used in the early jumping MK - Sagat’s far HK - Tiger Uppercut love triangle, effectively allowing you to jump more*

*Needs further testing

no sweat, as soon as I get back home (on Tuesday) I will get on it

At 0:34, Gief does j.RH, close st.MK, cr.LK xx EXGH xx EXRFA xx U1. Looks like it’s close to 600 dmg.

How often will we get a raw jump in like that? Almost never against anyone decent unless we land a headbutt and get a miracle dizzy.
