If a Fei wants to Wing me from close ranges, I like poking with cr.mk, st.mp and st.mk(in medium kick we trust lol.)
Reasons: cr.mk lowers your hitbox, Wing could fly over. St.mk can stuff Wing. And I’ve had some success with st.mp beating Rekkas before it gets a chance to start up and some success with it stuffing regulars Wings as well.
Fei longs dangerous not because has an unlimited supply of chicken wing coupons, but because he has pokes and rekkas also at the same range. Try and stop one tool, get stuffed but something else
^ That and the arcade I play at doesn’t have its consoles patched so I eat infinite combos all day when I play against a certain guy there.
alright, finally finished my Finals so I’m finally able to get some write-ups done, need some few last details with dhalsim’s and will be starting on Akuma’s sometime soon hopefully.
I just read that wrong and got Wet. “I just finished in finals”. Im like “HOW DID YOU DO IT?!”. Lol. Tourney < Your Finals apparently.
Not sure where to put this, but I was in a match last night against a ryu player and he trade srk into ultra and it connected. I thought that was taken out in super. I saved the replay, but is it still possible? Or I’m I wrong about it being taken out.
No this isnt the right place to put it…lol. And who cares about trade ultras really? If I jump and i get DP’ed, i fucked up.
Lol, true.
Any tips vs Balrog?
How’s the work on this thread going, everyone taking a break for holidays I guess? Are the lists on the front page on what is being worked on updated, in case I (or someone else) finds time to work on a character?
Just wondering, since it would be sweet if we could get this to the stage where we can get it stickied (along with some of the other threads like FSE and What Works on Whom).
Btw, I really liked the format of the Guy forum matchup thread. Very concise presentation. I like the references to source posts and dating of writeup information so you know if something is old.
im getting a video capture card in the new year, might do a video matchup for Vega and Abel since they are the only two characters i know REALLY well outside of Juri.
Punishing blanka balls with dash lk pinwheel’s good and all, but I think this matchup definitely means you have to go further and learn to fadc the pinwheel into Lk lk cr mk xx pinwheel or something of the sort. A tight link but it’s infinitely useful in the matchup.
Save the meter and super punish. Easier and you’ll earn super fast from zoning.
cr.mk on balrogs wakeup, it stuffs his headbutts. be careful when he has meter though
poke with cr.mk buffer lk pinwheel to beat out all dash punches.
Use u1 in this matchup. since you can already throw out a cr.mk for free on his wakeup, if he tries to headbutt you get a free untech knockdown combo + fireball store (finish the combo with cr.hk xx lk fireball store so you can start another mixup on his wakeup )
of course dont jump in when hes not on wakeup, his cr.hp rapes all of our jump ins except our j.faps trades if spaced / timed right
once you get him on knockdown, dont let up, and dont be too predictable. dont throw out cr.mk when he has meter because his ex dash punches will eat your cr.mk for breakfast (unless youre buffering EX pin…which is really risky to do)
dont try and footsie with him, you wont win. he has better mobility and better priority on most of his pokes.
make sure to block low often…rogs love to throw out cr.hk and it seems to catch a lot of people a lot of the time
just be patient. get your knockdown, work a mixup (crossup, meaty cr.mk, overhead, etc), when he manages to get away just be patient and work for another knockdown
^^ just a quick rundown, my two cents
I disagree with this for sure, vs a smart blanka if they see that you have super they just won’t do it. If you have two meters and you can do the lk fadc consistently, you can condition them far better as they will know not to do it even when you only have 2 meters.
^^ good blankas wont do hori ball unless they can fadc it. period.
Rarely, but they still do it. I’ve even seen Tsrai throw it out on occasions. I just think that every possible punish should be known, maximized and practiced to as close to perfection as possible, you can never know enough.
They also sometimes miss that 2 hit link into a blanka ball, although that might be able to be punished with dash->raw ex senpusha etc, not sure but it does look like it has a fair bit more recovery.
Might be worth learning the FADC if you’re playing some good blankas (although with AE changes coming, I don’t know if I’ll personally bother). I’m pretty sure you can always use dash > EX Pinwheel to punish blanka balls, personally I just use LK Pinwheel to conserve meter and because I’m not 100% confident I’ll hit the punish every time.
^^ i never go for the lk pin fadc vs blankas, or ever really…i feel its a waste of meter honestly…i would rather have that meter for EX pin combo finishers.
on another note…i dont know about yall, but i used to have trouble vs dee jay and a few other characters jump arcs in particular. i could never AA them because their jump arc was just strange…and then i started using cl.st.hp. this move is FUCKING GODLIKE. seriously…this is probably my favorite move in the game now. easily. it completely rapes DeeJay FO FREE. It rapes a LOT of characters jump ins…im pretty sure im going to be using cl.st.hp almost exclusively as my AA of choice unless i HAVE to AA with cr.mp / st.mk. Seriously…i cannot stress enough how insanely good this move is.
^^ Sorry about that. Im just in love with that move. By the way, ill try to get some vids of myself up as soon as possible. I would like to hear what yall have to say about my Juri.
<3
In theory the pin fadc is great but the pin is tight enough to hit anyways then we add on a 1f link. I’ll have to test how hard it is.
Even on block it will be a nice way to turn pressure back to my side and corner blanka.
