Did you know Rufus can dash -> st.fp -> fp GT after a blocked Cammy DP?
I didn’t, but it’s only 20 damage more in this game, the oki off a far rh, cr. rh is stronger imo.
Just remember that those punishes on Cammy DP only work if you block it at point blank range. Any further and it’ll be either iffy or won’t work. In those cases, I just sweep or cr.hp if sweep is out of range. If you want to spend the meter, you can also do lp or c.mk to EX GT.
Yeah, that punish was specifically for when you block a DP after safejumping in.

What the hell happened with Luffy’s focus attack at 6:30ish? I’ve watched it like 20 times and I can’t figure it out. The focus looks like it whiffs because he had just entered blockstun from an orb?
EDIT: 1st video
That is exactly what happened. Lvl 3 focuses lose the unblockable property if something, like Rose’s orb puts them in blockstun. So, it didn’t whiff. It just became a blockable move.

That is a Very nice find!!
That is an awesome vid, way to go rufus players everywhere!
Very nice. But OS U2 doesn’t work I think(it doesn’t on Rose, I’m not sure with ryu). Ryu’s clearly not guarding after his backdash.
LOL, why would I have included it if it doesn’t work? 1) Ryu isn’t guarding because he can’t; he’s in the recovery frames of his backdash. 2) Some U2 OS setups don’t work on Rose because of the distance of her backdash vs. the range of U2, and must use EX GT instead. This isn’t one of those setups (it works on Rose, too). 3) Rose doesn’t have a 3/4 frame reversal, so it isn’t necessary to use this safe jump setup anyway; an easier one can be substituted that has better comboability afterwards. With this, you can only cr. hk, far mk, EX GT, or U2 after the fierce since it’s at max range.
How can you get OS U2 to work on Rose? I tried and couldn’t(throw, safe jump HP OS U2 and Rose blocks everytime)…
I’ll try to test this safe jump/OS a little more myself with the whole cast if I can. Before someone corrects me or whatever, I know there are better safe jumps for the characters with slower reversals, but I’ll check anyway.
I’d guess it’s an issue of timing. I recorded Rufus fthrowing, far fierce, jump forward fierce/u2 os against Ryu, making sure the timing was right for safe jumping the shoryuken, then switched my character to Rose and the same recording ate Rose’s backdash, both reversal backdash and late backdash.
Damn! Tried it for 30 mn two days ago and couldn’t do it. my recording was probably bad…I could OS U1 easily, but with U2, Rose would guard everytime.
I’ll try it again, thx for the tip.
This is major, great find. I’m able to land it most of the time but others i get hurt. Not sure if its the timing of the j.hp that im messing up or the st.hp. Is there a delay between the two?
No, the whiffed far fierce has to come as close to immediately after the forward throw as possible. Then just hold up+forward. One trick to getting the timing down is recognizing you’re hitting with the vertical front edge of jump fierce’s hitbox.
Reviewed those matches, and added my input. Any input is much appreciated.
Bison is really a tough matchup for Rufus. I really need to work on my AA and normals.
Btw, nice adaptation after the slide. I got punished for failing to punish that slide.
