… that doesn’t even make sense.
Way to miss the point genius.
The stun combo starts in with a jump in… now, what if… you didn’t do the jump in. Let’s say they’re in the corner and you do a c.fierce-> Fireball poke, it happens to hit. Now you have options.
Here’s the main 2 points with that combo.
1- YOU CAN COMBO AFTER A FIREBALL
2- It is currently the highest stun combo in the game.
You guys are so eager to crap on this combo that you’re not realizing what this means for Gouken.
I’m actually trying to HELP YOU, seeing that I hate playing as Gouken myself. The options opened up are amazing. Okay, that combo, let’s try editing it shall we? I poke with c.fierce and throw a fireball, it hits… now I can say… c.fierce into ex palm. Or I can c.fierce into flip mixup, or i can c.fierce fireball again and now go for a cross over, or (insert 392874932874932843 things here).
Gouken players now have an extremely useful tool at their disposal, even if it’s not c.fierce after a fireball, but a c.strong or c.short…
I love how Gilley comes here and shows Gouken players an amazing new tool, and all you people can do is talk shit about how “this combo is stupid and unpractical” instead of thinking what a good player would do “How can I improve on this combo and practicality”.
Edit:
When I was in Japan, I was playing with some of the top players, and I did something with Ryu that they never really thought of. The thing is, it’s only capable when Ryu has full super meter, which if you play Ryu you know isn’t often. They were amazed at how good this seemingly stupid basic idea was and how they never really thought about it. I got complimented by some of the best players in the world for a stupid idea that’s not really practical because it’s rare that the situation comes up. The main point is, that if it DOES come up, it’s a great option.
As I said earlier, there’s 2 important things about this combo, and you missed them both.
Where in Asia may I ask? If you say anywhere other than Japan, your point is moot about this. And you’re missing the point, since all you did was crap on this combo without realizing why it exists. Try learning, instead of assuming what you do is better.
