How to use metsu shoryuken

[thecapsaicinkid]

I use U2 in following situations:

• Against a jump-in (early reaction). The timing is a bit weird because I’ve conditioned myself to do a DP as late as possible, but I have to make sure I do U2 alot earlier but not too early otherwise I get the crappy version of it
• After a focus attack crumple
• Safe jump OS into U2 against characters like Boxer
• Empty jump and buffer the U2 motion, if I see the opponent stick out a move I hit KKK.
• Block a move with large recovery frames and then U2
• Against Dhalsim’s long limb attacks (difficult but possible)
• Against Dictator psycho crusher (more luck then anything else)
• Against blanka horizontal ball (more luck then anything else)

Cant think of any others.

Hitting Bison in the face during psycho crusher is awesome

Also jump over seth’s booms and hit the inevitable crouching fierce limb is also pretty special

Good idea.

Talking of U2, has anybody else seen that video of Poongko (Ryu) vs Guile where at the end of Round 1, Guile pulls of his U1 and straight away Poongko attempts U2. Guiles U1 beats Ryu’s U2. Link below:

You can cheat out of trial #24 if you dp xx FADC after the hado and before the U2.

Or, you can do it this way:
After the hado, do the FADC and then do c.MK, EX Tatsu, then Ultra. Remember, the Ultra only has to hit once!

Also, another use for the Metsu Shoryuken: After performing a combo in the corner that ends with an EX Tatsu. The ultra will give out 5-6 more hits I think.

mestu srk shuts down gen’s oga waterfall game, and since gen is so floaty he has to basically take the fight to the ground where ryu wins hands down

When in doubt, ultra pop out.

There is an actual way to combo into U2 even though it wont be the easiest to pull off in an actual match. Since the start-up on Metsu Shoryuken is so fast you can actually use it on the recovery frames of your jump ins (timing is very strict though). I don’t have any videos but go into practice mode and you can do it yourselves. Jumping Fierce xx U2 works, has to be a deep hit. Jumping Roundhouse xx U2 is a little bit harder but it definitely works. Even jumping strong (on grounded opponent) will link to the ultra but you have to make sure that both of the punches connect and input the qcf x2 xx 3K motion in a split second. I have been doing this fora while and it seems to be the only true way to combo into the move. I hope I was helpful in my post.

Auto Correct

Lately I’ve been auto-correcting U2 for late or random crossup attempts…but i’d like a definitive opinion on how and when to input the motions…Any thoughts? BTW U2 vs Psycho Punisher always a crowd pleaser! :karate:

Time the joystick motion as if they were going to land in front of you and you’re just going to ultra, but delay hitting the punch buttons until they’ve crossed over you.
