How to use metsu shoryuken

Classic Fighting Games Ultra Street Fighter IV
1
  1. Anticipate jump.
  2. Use it.

Works every time. If you can’t land it then your reactions suck.

Not much different from ultra 1 in the sense that you can light shoryuken into ultra, but it does a bit more damage. Worth it if you have fast reactions.

Thanks for that.

I think that is hella obvious… No good player would just jump in on you.

Holy crap, I thought this combo was exclusive to Ryu, but it turns out that most of the cast can do it!
This has just helped me level my game up at least tenfold.

congrats yo!!!

I’m ready for anything; Bring on Jordan Long and Diego !

stopped reading right there

If there’s one thing i’ve learned about street fighter, never anticipate anything. React to everything. Fight in the moment, not 2 seconds ago, not 2 seconds from now… in the moment… i mean if you see the jump animation, and you know he’s coming in… yea why not? but anti-air metsu’s aren’t the best idea.

Edit: oh… shoryu… meh… more understandable now… but still.

?

just hit them with a focus attack and while they cant attack metsu srk them

If you don’t anticipate, how do you bait? Stop giving useless advice if you’re not even good at it yourself. Tactics, adaptations and other game plans are as important as reaction. You cannot react to everything 100%.

guys how do you do the piano combo…i keep getting punished because i keep messing up in bar 4

12

I’d rather do a big combo off a crumple and gain a bunch of meter than waste my ultra.

lvl3 FA , U2 = 493dmg
lvl 3 FA, sps , HP.srk = 341dmg
(or if you’re good with 1 frame links) add in c.HP before HP.srk = 389dmg

hi

please use english.

thanks.

14

because you aren’t worth quoting.

Mods, ban this troll please?
MingoDynasty, good attempt at salvaging the thread, but sigh.

15

sorry, i cant read a language that uses only abbreviations

16

actually metsu shoryuken can cancel some of the recovery frames of a hadoken, which allows you to throw a normally unsafe hadoken and then punish thier jump-in with the ultra. This is actually a great way of landing it, and 8 frame startup on the ultra isn’t toooo bad…

17

You mean, like the language that is common to just about every fighting game ever?
I really should have recognized your name from the “Nerf sagat fireball speed because it’s too hard to deal with online” thread.
Sigh.

18

were you agreeing with me? since the lvl 3 FA to U2, what i suggested, is showing the most damage.

19

no, common to everyone who uses these forums everyday. i use this forum twice a year.

Can you elaborate on that? Sounds too good to be true.
