wait, deadfrog, what’s your name on ggpo?
decoy i think i’ve already watched just about everything on your channel, haha. how consistently would you say you’re gettin that hop forward super to come out??
deadfrog :lol:
lol I honestly can’t remember playing you, think I would have remembered you. sure it was me? my name there is Kareeeeem.
btw personally I never use hop/ball super mid screen. can’t get the timing down. Use it ALL THE TIME in the corner though.
Using ball super is really usefull against people who might be a little late to counter empty ball bite though.
Desk of combo video infamy made me aware of a certain option select to nullify certain characters reversal options for tick throw setups. I reckon it’s especially useful against characters with DP-like reversals.
Don’t want to put it out there just yet because I want to play around with it first. BTC, Real Decoy, Emperion I’ll tell you guys if you wanna know 
I’m going to hazard a guess here and assume it’s renda canceling the first few frames of the whiffed fierce into a back dash. So, while holding back, press fierce, one frame later, press mp+mk. If you don’t get the throw, the fierce animation is canceled and you’ll get your invincible back dash, making most reversals miss so you can punish. I hadn’t thought of this until you mentioned there being an option select, so now I’m trying to see if I can do the same with Chun’s super and SBK.
I am curious to see what you are talking about. You can PM if you want.
Do share. I have some ideas I’ve been working on as well. Maybe you, BTC, Emperion and myself can get some sort of chat going sometime? I suck at technical explanations but I think I have some stuff that I find useful in matches. Do the PM’s please. 
Fulaani, what happened at SVB? Who did you lose to? How was the tournament overall? And how did PR Balrog get 4th place? I have seen his chun-li before he is ok but not worth top 8 in HDR. I haven’t heard of alot of the people who made top 8 other then you and Remy
For me personally I did not lose a match (I even think every set was 2-0) untill I had to face Orf in my top 8 match where I lost and got eliminated since it was single elimination. I truly believe that fake fireball and the counterhit dmg on blanka balls break this match. Thanks Sirlin, rebalancing to make one of his worst matchups even worse.
Also I was also fasting for Ramadan so I was physically and mentally weak by the time top8 was played later on in the evening. I’m sure Orf noticed how mentally exhausted I was just jumping forward like a dumbass. I’m really embarassed for that match. Not because I lost, me and Orf have good matches win or lose but I’m embarassed of how I lost.
The rest of the good players were Kaosflare, a very solid arcade ST player from London who used Guile and SMQ (who now goes by WA Qarnage) who has a very mean Rog. Then there was Coungster, who was supposed to play Remy for his spot in top 8 but he didn’t know that top16 was played on saturday night and left and was disqualified. With all due respect to Remy I do think Coungster would have taken that, he is one of the best or the best ken I’ve personally faced.
Remy was a 100% within his rights to claim his top 8 match but I really wanted to see Coungster up there.
The problem with Europe is the even stronger disdain towards HDR than America. We do have some really sick SF2 players, both new and Old School but they are largely apathetic towards HDR.
lol ohhhhh yea, I really hate that fake fireball bullshit.
HD Remix Blanka teaser is up. Go [media=youtube]8SEc–aguFg"[/media] to check it out.
The full version is coming soon! I promise.
Sick stuff Decoy, really fun to watch your vids.
Alright guys, I decided I am attending NCR. Its the only weekend school eases up and it happens to fall on the weekend NCR is being hosted. Lets hear any new tips that people have learned against the hard characters (E.Honda, Balrog, Ryu, or DeeJay)…
[media=youtube]dHDoaCtE3sw&feature=related[/media], check out this mix up Komoda does in Round 2, Purposely missing the crossover light kick, then doing work basically…
I’m wondering what do I do against a Zangief?
Most of the times I space them out with my jumping light kicks into medium kicks. It usually works if they are a bad Zangief, but if there good, they get me into the corner and then it’s over. The zangief constantly jumps, down HPs into 360 grab and then they mix it up till then.
So does anybody have any suggestions?
zangief goes into the air, st.mp beats all his jumpins.
if he jumps from outside st.mp range then st.hk beats his jumpin or trades.
if they do repeated bodysplashes you can keep a back charge and hp ball out of there in between splashes or you can anti air in between with st.hp.
Hmm… thanks for the help there
I tried fierce blanka ball after his splashes, but the 360 grab always gets me. I guess I just suck timing 
Hmm this thread seems dead
I guess most blanka players know everything then 
but anyways I am really having trouble fighting fei longs. I am so use to blanka balling everyone except for fei, balrog and vega. since that I would be punished greatly by the 3 punches by fei, theres nothing I can do when I’m the corner. I can’t v. ball or electricity, fei’s are usually distanced so I wouldn’t get them with electricity. I get lucky to get out of the corner, but then I still lose.
so can anybody tell me what should I do against fei?
In the corner if he chicken wings, jumps at you, does rekka punches at you, you can use down forward fierce punch to stuff all of his attempts ( I think except for a jump light kick or medium kick) That sliding punch is the one I am referring to. Also if you can’t do that fast enough for a chicken wing, you can use crouching medium punch, which makes the chicken wing whiff blanka and you can grab him right after.
Another anit-air to use when he jumps at you is forward medium punch. It will stop any type of jump in he has.
So its more of a guessing game between getting him to do a move and reacting to it with any of the options I mentioned or just suprising him and jumping at him when he doesn’t expect it
Thanks for the advice. I kind of improved now since that now I don’t get stuck in the corner . Now I don’t loose as much. Thanks again.
be careful of overusing the slide, it get’s stuffed to death by a bunch of his poke but most dangerously by his st.hp aka handshake.
i also reccommend using cr.lp to make chickenwing whiff, it has faster recovery than cr.mp.
from the right range (pretty far out) you can meaty him for free with max range st.lk. if he does nothing he’ll block it but if he does flamekick you’ll eather stuff it or it’ll whiff and be punishable.
