What are we doing against Rolento? I can’t think of an answer to most of the stuff he does. Especially ones that know how to constantly put the pressure on Juri with no window to attack.
I asked the same question and got some great answers in the video thread.
Rolento is a gimmick, nothing more, nothing less, his backflip esc. gets stuffed by jf. mp which opens the door for you to get lifelead, his knives are terrible comparing fb wars, even normals stuff them from what i’ve seen. His rolls can be blocked standing or even NJ’d with the chance of him stopping behind you. That’s all I have so far, I’ll try to upload some footage for you guys to get an idea of what I’m talking about
Any tips for the poison matchup? Should I be trying to zone her out or get up in her face?
I wouldnt try to outzone her. IMO Poison wins the fireball game. They can cover more ground, and hey are huge as fuck. I’ve had more success staying up close. Her Dragon Kick is absolutely garbage if you neutral jump with the right timing so she doesnt have a very reliable wake up. Just mind the forward fierce and her rekkas.
It feels like she doesnt beat Juris zoning. The LK and MK versions are really easy to cancel out with stores, LK is really vulnerable to dives due to not covering the place in front of her. Her offense also feels really not too good. Not on knockdown or up close but due to the shitty dash it feels like she can’t really close the gap too easily. They can do their shitty Jaguar copy pasta move but still… It doesn’t feel too bad. Her moves are also somewhat easy to whiffpunish (outside of her s.MK)
Poison’s projectile is terrible, and as far as what I’ve seen in this MU, she gets bopped, Juri beats her in zoning and footsies in general, and it’s really easy to bait out her reversals because Poison doesn’t have many wake up options
My brother has recently ‘found’ Rolento, in many ways this suits him brilliantly, because he doesn’t actually know how to play street fighter, so just randomly does stuff, and Rolento being a very random character it just seems to work. Because he is random he is hard to predict, and as I’ve yet to actually face a real Rolento before, I’m ashamed to say I lost hard and got knocked out of losers bracket at our local tournament against someone I really shouldn’t be losing to.
What do I do against his rolls? Can I zone Rolento out? As his rolls seemed to just ignore my fireball game, if I blocked he seemed too far away to punish. I can’t lose to him again this week, so need to put some practice time in before Friday night!
Cr. MP stuff his rolls clean. So if timed right you can punish him mid roll with cr. MP x HK pinwheel. The rolls can also be punished on block with sweep or cr. MK x HK pinwheel. The timing for these can be tricky. I suggest practicing it quite a bit of you want to rely on it in a match. I think they are easier to punish when blocked standing, as your hitbox is more narrow. The easiest option by far is just punishing with a reversal ex pinwheel.
Learning how to block his pogo stick cross ups and gimmicks helps a lot, as does being ready to punish his ex wall dive escape move.
Pressure his wakeup mercilessly. He might have the worst wakeup in the game.
Sorry on mobile so I can’t edit my post. Forgot to mention that he can punish wakeup pressure if he has either ultra stocked.
It also helps that his pogo gets stuffed entirely if you time it right, just figured this out today
Cheers guys, some stuff to work on as no doubt my brother will be mashing it out as Rolento again on Friday night >_<
Does c.MP beat the EX roll as well?
Easy way to deal with rolls: block, and as he’s bouncing off you, do LK or EX pinwheel. Works every time.
Because of rolls, I’d recommend using MK fireballs instead of LK. MK fireballs also happen to fly out at an angle that tends to cancel out Rolento’s knives. Mostly you can’t zone him though - in this fight I like to go more for rushdown once I get him on the floor. Seriously abuse every single knockdown you get.
So almost anti air the bounce back? Or pinwheel the landing?
reversal the blocked roll
Cheers for the help guys, absolutley demolished my brother in the first round of the tournament with the intel you provided, he only got me below 75% one time in the 4 rounds we fought (and that was just because of a messed up anti air attempt on his wall bounce overhead thing which he combo’d into ultra). The help really came through!
Wanting to start a new series of “1-hour Juri Lessons”. Basically covers things to help the beginner player move to the intermediate level of game play or general stuff for people interested to learn more about Juri. Maybe not the best Juri in the world but I love giving out tech/info.
Stream will start in like 10 minutes. www.twitch.tv/triox
After months of this game being out, I still firmly believe Juri vs Decapre is 7-3 Decapre. I can’t keep her out and have to make hard reads against the character while she can outfoostie you into safe hand pressure for free chip.
I’m just gdlk
How can a downgraded cammy be better than cammy ?
