He generally just trains them well on wake-up and times his frame traps really tightly, but Japan, in general, does A LOT fewer guess DPs on wake-up/block and a lot more safe crouch tech. See Evans VS Tokido at Stunfest for how western style “I don’t give a fuck” reversals can catch the Japanese off guard.
Minor question: I was playing someone recently who tended to do a Really meaty focus attack after a hard knockdown (or maybe i didn’t tech I cant remember). It was timed really well so it was hitting me the moment as I got up, I had no ex zonk charged, but I probably would have mis-timed that anyway. I tried to jump or dash (backstep) away and got sent airborn once and a full crumple another time.
I really don’t come across this much but assuming this is lvl 3, it doesn’t seem like there is much you can do. Any thoughts?
throw em. beats any focus attack all day long.
yeah thats the obvious answer but I doubt It would have worked, didn’t seem like there was enough time.
If it happens again ill post a video.
I’ve encountered that aswell in which backdash wasn’t an option. throw worked for me atleast for his setup. even when he launch the attack it’s possible to throw him out of it. the animation of the focus attacks are quite missleading.
I was messing around today in endless and failed a focus attack to EX rocks combo, but the juggle allowed a regular CU to combo. I’ve never seen that before; took a video just for fun.

I also had someone do a Focus attack, rocks linked to U1 today. I didn’t even know that was possible. Not sure why you’d want to do that on purpose other than the fact that it looks awesome; it does less damage.
criminal upper can juggle after everything since it does jp1-8 [or something] for each hit of the cu respectively. thing is, it’s often just to slow.
focus crumbe, rocks, u1 is cornor only isn’t it?
Nope. Anywhere. Its so damn sexy.

Crappy audio.
never bothered to use u1 anyway, so wasn’t sure. but good to know… for the giggles ^^
I want a lp / mp cu => u2 kill so bad, but it does so little damage : /
I spent a long time in the training room trying to get the cu->u2 full animation to work just for fun, no luck. I was trying to get some type of setup to get just the last hit of the tornado to hit somehow then juggle the end of the dust into full animation.

A bunch of games of everyone’s favorite Cody against twins and Fei, and one vs Balrog.
is meaty close fierce after jump in roundhouse, or neutral jump fierce, character specific?
Trying to replicate those combos from Spooky’s video.
I think it works on everyone but is indeed range dependet for each character.

Completely unrelated to competitive Cody play, but I got a kick out of it and I thought you guys might like it too 
is it confirmed that CH Crack Kick into ex Ruffian into ex CU workin the corner now?
what about double crack kick? anybody 100% sure?
^can be done when crack kick is anti air.
both?
While watching i8600011 vs a gief, I noticed that he always ended his combos with mk. ruffian to give himself some breathing room. This seems like a good thing to know vs grapplers to GTFO of there.
