Hibiki Strategies and Matchups

I did read your thread which confused me in the 1st place of why I got hit that one time, but I not gunna ask more questions about the whole who can punish Hibiki after she finishes her full BnB, and I’ll just wait till I get hold my CvS2 again and test it myself to see for my own eyes and to renew my memory. But I’ll try and remember those supers to not finish my BnB against them until then.

if you do the b&b at full speed, with strong slash you can be punished by:

balrog level 3 gigaton blow
blanka level 3 direct lightning
cammy level 3
chun level 3
dhalsim fierce
hibiki running slash (which can then be punished with either low fierce or low jab xx slash, which she can then punish with running slash…)
i dont THINK iori super works…
kim level 3
bison rh scissors, level 3 psycho crusher
rock level 3 shine knuckle
rolento level 3 trip wire
vice hcf+k
yun qcf+jab (i think?)

note that sagat high tiger super and guile sonic hurricane super are NOT on the list

i havent fully tested situational stuff with the combo done at the slowest speed possible, but i do know that these punishers don’t work anymore:

bison rh scissors
blanka level 3 direct lightning

… i should probably do more testing

lastly, if you just do a max range strong slash (not combo, just a slash from max range), the only thing that can punish it is balrog level 3 gigaton blow

really helpful thanks for coming through Buk.

EDIT: I like to add to the list for Mai’s elbow super lvl3 can catch Hibiki but damage reduction since she needs to travel a bit before hitting Hibiki.

interesting. i tested it at the slowest possible speed and both of those hit me. i didn’t use all-block either, i recorded the hibiki dummy doing the combo and then manually blocking back, then me getting reversal timing with bison and blanka. chun’s reversal level 3 also hit hibiki doing the B&B at the slowest possible speed. i only tested those 3 characters so far. hmmmm…

peace

PS- A-hibiki is top tier. she’s about on par with A-bison in terms situations she can get a CC from IMO.

RH Scissors isn’t free at all if the combo is done correctly. You have to do that shit slooooooooooooooooow.

It’s not free but its reversal timing only that Bison can catch Hibiki, besides that she is safe.

No. Even on reversal, she’s safe if you do it right.

replying to windyman’s post #30 in this thread:

you left out sagat c.:lk:x2 > tiger raid

hibiki vs. cammy

if cammy is throwing spiral arrows at you, you can, on reactioin, do her :k::k::k: dodge and punish cammy after she misses your feet.

i think s.:lk: also stuffs spiral arrows, my memory is not too sure on this, but i remember it working.

that cammy is horrible if you can react to spiral arrows and punishing them, cause by then they’re just getting predictable. and yes s.lk stuffs spiral arrow, but then again, spiral arrow in general has low priority. =/

EDIT: I didn’t even realize i didn’t reply to Havoc from that post wayyyyyyy back. yeah you we’re right on Hibiki being safe.
