As is cr.mk
I like crane for the tough footsies matchups, because of the better walkspeed and reach of overhead. I find that I can catch peoples pokes with the overhead and cr.mp>jayesen. Plus, crane cr.lk isn’t too slow to press in footsies and nets you a knockdown. Always press that at the start of a round against dhalsim, gets you inside for free!
Mantis against combo heavy characters with small reach, to keep them away, and have standing anti air normals.

Wait a second, standing mk in crane is special cancellable?
Nope, can’t be EX FA/Super canceled either. Evidently, Kahmos is a hacker.
Went for qualifiers last saturday, had to use the old man lol! came out top in my qualifying group. I wonder if they will fix the issues that plauged me, bad sound and laggy sound almost made my bnb hitconfirm useless.
I faced an Adon and switched to Honda lol!
A quick tip for everyone.
When you land super on a cornered opponent normally most Gen players go for Zetsuei (U1) but from my lab it seems that Ryukoha is more profitable because it STILL corners your opponent and does 7 less damage than Zetsuei. and zetsuei puts you in the corner lol!
O.o I hate it when I am lying, hold on, bah! I could have sworn it was :S
Just dont read my comments T_T
I came out very frustrated after playing a Gen player on PC the other day. Not that PP/BP mean toooo much, but he had 900pp and a good couple of thousand BP. Basically he just kept jumping around with crane stance, I was blocking all of his cross ups and then he was throwing out ogas. I really felt defenseless against this somewhat ‘careless’ ‘random’ play style.
I was hoping it would just be a poking match but unfortunately it wasn’t, and Lost. I messaged the player after the game to see if he had any advice to give and he simply replied, 'years of training 
’ so not very helpful… anything to take from this one?
point number one in a mirror match, all Gen’s jump in lose hopelessly to crane crHK
2. ALL oga are unsafe on block -13 for side and -8 for drop oga, even the ceiling oga on meaty is unsafe, now Gen can sweep that far oga on block on reaction, gen sweep is 8 frame start up and the close wall oga can be punished by crMP to hands, TC2 gekiro whatever.
3. Top Gen vs Gen match is footsie war of poking awesomeness but low PP gen is crane copter match.
now I see you never anti aired him, nor did you pressure him with poke strings and mixup his life for all its worth. spend more time understanding what Gen can actually do and not instead of playing too many matches on ranked.
My assignment to you is to go to training mode record your opponent jumping on you and you punish it 100 times with crane crHK, 100 times with mantis crHP and 100 times with HK gekiro. ( you can try 50 each if you cant go 100)
Never get too frustrated with Gen or you may die before he does. Gen is a more relax, train and explore than getting frustrated. Ask the group guys and they will probably tell you that I am the most frustrated Gen player alive lol! whenever you feel that way just relax and do something else. then come back and contine
Ah good advice, I’m working on getting my Gekiro timing down each time. Though have been managing finally, getting oga cross up sorted.
have you watched my tutorials on Gen stuff?
Not as of yet, I’m going to hit that up when I get home. Shame you don’t have it on PC I could of played you on stream.
gave up playing PC a long time ago. Internet was just too bad
ah right, I can play against US players on green bar too. (awesome internet)
then you have no problem leveling up.
You think the US players are the best to play against?
it doesn’t really matter at this stage of development, anyone you play is ok as long as the connection is great and they are at your level or more decent.
True, For some reason I feel really helpless in the T Hawk match…
T-Hawk isnt that much of an issue with Gen, you can basically stay him out with crMP into hands and focus condor spire that comes at you. his jump is floaty but due to tomahawk may be hard to crHK so I usually go air to air with crane HP. he is basically a less terrorizing version of zangief and as long as you keep him out and anti air his jump attempts you should be ok with the match. T-Hawks also like to try to land an ultra so try to make it difficult for them as much as possible.
