Gen General Discussion Thread: Theory Fighter!

By far the hardest thing I have ever tried in sfiv, it just does not seem to work no matter how I time it =( Guess I’ll stick with ye olde foward throw>charge petition>cross-up

Crossing up on Honda after forward throw is much harder than this, at least for this setup once you get the muscle memory you will get it all the time… Not that Honda one is necessary anyways.

Oh btw, I made a mistake. You whiff when you’re too late, not too early. Hits as a non-crossup when too early.

argh…, terrible day on XBL today. started off good and jumped from 2400 up to the 2600’s in PP.

then everything went to shit. dropped all the way back to 1500 at one point. had to win like 6 straight to get back to 2000 so i could call it quits for the day. this is after playing like poop for 4 hours

to my credit i didnt play at all last week, and my hands werent being very cooperative. just have to force myself to play so i dont get rusty like that

Same stuff happens here every week. At least I know I’m fairly consistent in staying in the 2000~3000 range. As for playstyle: that’s why I never upload vids (aside from not having any capturing equipment). I’d gladly share if there was some offline material around.

Finally, he decided to use his “ki” to shoot out projectiles. Been wondering why he didn’t bother to do that.

keep your chin up brother. you’ll gain them back in no time. I haven’t been too concerned with PP in AE as I’ve been messing around with more characters even random select now in AE. And I’m not great with a lot of characters so it drops my PP a lot. I’ve really only played two good days of ranked and got 6K points.

But you’ll bounce back bro. Maybe post videos just to get 2nd opinions? I’m not jumping to the conclusion that you can’t review your own videos and pick out what you did right or wrong. Just suggesting a 2nd or 10th pair of eyes.

possibly. i should erase my hard drive from today tho. just playing terrible.

mostly i wasnt punnishing stuff. like i had 2 different blankas do wake up ultras that i baited, and i failed the punnish. one time i did jump foward instant fierce, another i did crouch fierce. i dizzied a few different characters. for lol max dmg combos, i did crane jump rh, crouch roundhouse, instead of the double RH and got punnished on hit

one match after i had started my heavy losing, i did 4 reversal DPs in a row against a bison. all baited. lol

i got better as i went on tho. beat chris hu’s oni once, and almost beat henry cens honda twice. he hit me with a wake up ultra :stuck_out_tongue:

just had to get my hands back functional

i do want to start getting some vids up tho in the future. maybe you guys can tell me why i lose to blatantly bad players sometimes

That is most likely because there really is nothing that is spammable or abusable in Gen’s armamentarium against other opponents. You will need to move in and take risks and with some characters having solid wake up options (not safe jumpable ones especially) life is always a gamble and you ain’t got too much (of life) to begin with. If only Gen can FADC his gekiro like Yang…

gekiro FADC U1…

BELIEVE

Gen is the player that gives a 0% error margin, you may be good but if you messup one combo you are fucked big time.

so basically you dont wanna screw up at all, and you have to know your opponent character options at all times (still learning that) and also have 8 ready answers for all situation that is safe (which are few for Gen), basically you just have to control the match tempo at all cost.

wonder why Daigo never played Gen? lol!

hey guys ever heard of the Qanba Q4raf arcade stick? i looking for a new one since my old one a little bang up. it already duel modded too so i be able to play on ps3. i was just wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Qanba arcade sticks? also gonna get the plixe glass cover to i can put a cool Q artwork on it. i would do gen but i can never find a good art of the old man.

Ive always wanted to have a crane j.mk on my arcade stick, with nothing but the background of training mode behind him, and hit confirms as the art on the buttons and joystick.

Just to imply crane j.mk hits EVERYTHING

And no ive never heard of the Qanba Q4raf arcade stick

also, since this is theory fighter, would (on wakeup) meaty cr.lk>cr.lk+cr.hk be an anti dash back option select? I believe it would. Cr.lk>Cr.lk is a link right? so it would come out before cr.hk would.

Ive been using this alot recently, and seems to work well, but my timing isnt perfect either.

I use that a lot against characters that have a shitty wake-up, who tend to use bckdash more often. It works quite well imo.

cr.lk, cr.lk is a chain. or should be timed as a chain

i use that OS a lot as well. just about every time i go for a meaty low short, or coming out of a blocked lvl2 FA, or from air resets

I hit my friend with a reset Ultra 1. I cried and peed and crapped at the same time. There was some more bodily fluids being expelled but we won’t get into that.

I just lost a game because Sakura’s crouch fierce beat Teiga.

Goddamn it.

Anything can beat Teiga.

its supposed to be for fireballs. every other use is kinda random imo

And punishing stuff like Fei’s rekka ultra etc. that otherwise you wouldn’t have a punish for outside of super.

well, yeah. punnishes and fireballs

i wouldnt pick U2 against fei anyway tho
