Gen General Discussion Thread: Theory Fighter!

In my honest opinion, U1 vs Sim is much preferred;

Sim’s fireballs aren’t threatening enough for me to use U2, thus I don’t have that much of a problem dealing with them. I also feel that if/once I do get U2, I’ll be too focused on waiting to see if he does a fireball that I won’t even pay attention to footsies and his other habits.

With U1, snipes are out of the question, plus it does major damage with super since Sim has below average health. Again just my personal opinion, and so far I’ve had good results :slight_smile:

that pic is funny

hmm…i thought u2 would be preferred because teiga shuts down alot of Sim’s anti air normals as well as avoiding yoga catastrophe chip/ mixups. But good point about u1’s damage and yoga snipe counter.
also a little bit off topic but Shungoku Neurosis is just ripping apart people with his Bison. Two OCVs, taking out team Europe and Canada singlehandedly! o_O

I could careless about his FBs. I use them to build meter. it shuts down his AA game. Also if he does teleport shenanigans you jump back ultra 2.

well street… you embarrassed yourself… and most of all US… we banith you into the land of shotos… where you can pretend to be a good player. to the ryu ken forums you go… dramatic ceremonial music

but nah seriously we all hate the giefs. only thing i do is slowly try the poke game til i get ot the corner. then ex oga to the other wall just because its quicker(to me). repeat til they make that mistake. (if they do) i had countless time over wins against those guys when playing serious.

now if i pull my face out of battlefield and all these other games long enough ill train on this new controller and try to go to NEC12. placed 25th last time. in theory i should get… better right… idk. time to be whipped into shape i guess

awesome pic!

HAHAHAHA Where did you get that? Also I dont get why the mantis stance has an arrow going to crane ultra 2 but its still funny =D.

Ohh the ppp shows gen in crane and kkk shows him in mantis, fix plz haha.

that pic is Jokes … LoL!!

lol. and as a guy who plays both, its somewhat true

LOL! NO OBJECTION ON THIS ONE LOOL!

Say more pls, I need a new motivation in this game. Lately I’ve been slowly losing interest (practicing a total of two hours in the last 7 days b4 CC wasnt a good sign, tho I mainly blame work for that)

Probably the only things that made me feel good were that I eliminated Real Deal and I beat Team Canada’s Blanka during pre-qualifiers. They lasted but a moment, but it wasnt a bad sensation to have.

If I land a mantis MP and have full bar, what should my punish be?
I’m unable to do hands FADC anything, any tips?

  1. Plain old super
  2. Link to MK xx hands xx super
  3. Link to HPxxMK TC, super
    And from every super, do whatever follow up you want.

Pretty much if you don’t want to burn EX meter for hands FADC combos and you want to use that meter, that’s your best bet.

I know I am able to do FADC, I just don’t know how. When I try, my followup MP gets blocked, so I think I’m doing something wrong.

For me, it helps to FADC hands on the fourth hit, because their hitbox seems to move differently. I don’t know if it’s actual frame advantage that changes or not, but it feels easier to me. Just plink the MP afterwards, and otherwise, it’s really just practice. Hands FADC combos really aren’t terribly worth it, though, unless it’s the end of the round that’s not going to win you the game, it seems.

Unless you are going for stun, you land a jump in, or you want to keep pressure on, FADCing isn’t that important IMO. I’d rather have the fear of the super and the super handy.

I was going to see if you guys saw that picture or not.
It sucks that it is true for the most part.

Carry on.

hmm on the real street from real life stuff to controller issues (yeah i pad) to just seeing dp fadc dp fadc dp etc etc my motivation vanished hard. lost most of my skills. hell i hate fadc combos with gen and i think they are dumb and not worth the fear of the super like a guy above stated. you remember i didn’t do many links. its cause i couldn’t man. no BS. They just randomly come out during clutch moments for me and just gives people the illusion im perfectly capable of them. My thing is If I. the man with possibly the worst execution in history. the man who does no fadc. the guy who will gekkiro kick 3 times in a row. (who expects 3 in a row) the guy who taunts just to make someone rush in (shits funny) the guy who was not 100% sober [drunken master ricky chan] at that tourny can do that well. THERE IS NO REASON why you street or half the folks in this place. even the members i feel are douchebagins cant do so much better.

Im starting to think people are playing too straight with such an awkward character like gen. And i never see people trying to lame other players out. I mean if they dont have a full screen ultra/super. isnt it fun to just hop your ass around gief? its more irritating to him than it is to you. Personally I hope you dive head first into playing game. and Ill admit i was out loud PISSSSED when you got knocked out. think i took a nap or some shit and missed a few hours after that.
a win from you/ross was the only thing that was gonna really make me happy. and any respectable gen player will always want to see a gen player win. so yeah all these gen players are happy to see another one succeed. but i guess that sounds gay or something so not many will admit that. so pick up that stick and… okay that was gonna sound really gay. so pick up that video game controlling device and make folks happy.
