Okay, some more questions, and remember I don’t have the game. But I was wondering. During crossup situations, if I know my advasary is going to cross me up, and I go for an early block, would I have enough charge to reversal sonic boom him when he tries to land on the other side? I was thinking that perhaps since I am sonic booming out of block stun, then it would probably be a reversal which should clip him on his way down. Or would the sonic boom start up be too much, and I get stuffed by his subsequent block strings.
Also, maybe it’s already been asked, but is standing F.FP cancellable? For example, let’s put forth a scenario where I’m ducking, they focus I stand and hit FP xx flashkick. I haven’t seem anyone try it in videos, but most people who play on videos are either online scrubs who are incredibly bad, or Japanese players who are incredibly good (making such tricks like these useless). I know a close FP is very much cancellable into specials though.
Also is there anyway possible to maintain some type of charge while you are focusing? I don’t think there is, as there would be far more people doing it in matches (it’s hella useful). But I just wonder why if it’s not, since you can do dash in ultras with all of the charge characters.
A few more things. In ST, you could do a back. RK and then do a sonic boom afterwards. Is this still possible in SF4. Again I don't see it done in high level play, and I think it's incredibly useful if it's possible. That's it for all of my questions. For right now that is.
