Did you draw that picture yourself?

I did.

that pic is dope bro good job

Man shoutouts to anti-air Gohadoken. I love swatting peeps out of air with em! It’s like “Sit cho ass down!” /bernie mac

from dealing with all the Yun’s and Fei’s recently, there’s nothing better than channeling your inner Bullcat and U1’ing on reaction to a CW or dash palm :rock:

Shoutouts to Corner Kongo xx FADC -> ShinSho. Tried to scrub your way out of the corner? Nope. Sit down and let your dislocated jaw be a lesson. Better still if the Kongoed attack gave you the meter.

Hell, shoutouts to corner ANYTHING with Gouken. Been hitting with U1 at surprising distances, and he has a rather good pressure game there.

According to Ultradavid’s twitter. Infiltration used Gouken to 3-0 Leslie’s (Singaporean player) Sagat and he mentioned some new technology. Crosscounter has the footage but I don’t expect them to upload them for awhile. Really curious as to how Infiltration uses gouken.

OH MY GOD I WAS MISSING OUT!!

I just added kongo -> FADC -> Ultra to my arsenal. It is SOOoooo satisfying! and demoralizing for the opponent I bet.

I also do kongo -> FADC -> Ex tatsu (it does 350-ish damage) when I need damage to finish the last round and by God, does that feel good. You can even dash twice after kongo (1 x fadc and one other) and land an ex tatsu in some cases. I love how this can be done from anywhere. It does roughly our Super’s damage for 3 bars. Or well, 4 if you did Ex counter. Not very efficient. I killed a really good evil ryu today with kongo fadc ex tatsu today to win the game and it felt good.

Also LOVE to mixup/glip after Kongo --> fadc --> c.HP --> HK Flip. They have to be very close to you or in the corner for this though I think. The timing takes a bit getting used to but starting all that shit from a counter is deeeelicious even if it isn’t meter efficient.

Cl.MP, cr.HP link is so sexy.

EX Tatsu anti-air is mmmmmm.

Successfully baiting a DP with DF Parry.

Sweep. Sweep again. I love sweep. Sweep sweep sweep.

And will be waaaaay more efficient to use in v.2012!!!

When you say way more efficient, what does that exactly mean? It will remain a 2 frame link I Imagine after which we can do tatsu, hado, flip or bnb.

Probably just because EX Senkugoshoha will be usable in more situations.

Because it will be more likely that the combo will connect bc of the improved hit stun of cr. fp.

Ahh okay. It will be possible to do EX palm at a farther range than it is now. That will be helpful. I’m mostly using the cl.st.mp for sweep/throw/c.hp hado right now. Ex palm is too risky if they are the tiniest bit far away, they will be able to block and punish. I guess after 2012, I’ll consistently start practicing and doing ex palm after cl.st.mp.

dat Infiltration Gouken.

props to infiltration going to work on bonchan. 2012 should be goukens year.

Infiltration Gouken GETTIN IT IN

Man, Infiltration was excellent with Gouken. He wasn’t just okay with him in a side character kind of way, it looked like he knew him like the back of his hand. That brought a tear to my eye as well as James Chen’s.

As much as I love to see a Gouken in a major tournament and all the hype that character select causes, “Oh? What’s this??? Gouken???!!” it sucks to see the reaction from everybody as though he’s some hidden character nobody knows about lol. I’ll gladly give all that up for Gouken to just be viable and a regular choice among the rest of the cast.
