this should be a sticky
The video is great at illustrating the ideas!
First of all, love the tricks. they work great!
Has this happened yet? i’ve been keeping my eye out and i am tuned in, but i might’ve missed it.
I’ve been trying to work in some meaty option selects for Rog, but they aren’t working well lol
I started the thread on Balrog’s option selects and how to apply them. It’s still far from finished but I will continue to update it. Here’s the link:
Bumping as I will ask jinrai to sticky this thread!
The one-frame Ultra trick is useless against Honda jab headbutt. the jab headbutt can only be punished when Honda’s in the corner, and in that instance, you don’t need any kind of “tricks”, you can activate the ultra with Ks or Ps, as long as the first hit is an upper. Mid-screen, Honda’s jab headbutt has too much pushback. I’ve just spent like half an hour in training mode working on this, and I have not been able to punish Honda’s jab headbutt midscreen once. I’ve even gotten the EX headbutt punish once or twice.
Am I doing something horribly wrong, or is the OP just misinformed?
I have not checked this thread in a while so I’m sorry. You CAN punish a honda jab headbutt with ultra midscreen but the jab headbutt needs to be RIGHT next to you. I tested it again myself and sorry if i misled you in the original post. Sometimes when i’m putting together all my info somethings get overlooked or mixed up.
It’s also tough because I’m pretty sure you need to block it standing? Meaning you’d have to react fast enough to stand up with Honda headbutting from close range, then hit the reversal Ultra - it’s not easy mid-match I can tell you!
help?
I can’t seem to pull off trick 1 on Ryu. I do the jump fierce punch, fierce, and l.punch but i can’t connect the EX rush upper. It whiffes everytime I pull it off. Any tips?
going from the st fierce into the st jab is a 1 frame link. meaning its really hard to do. and since you cant plink jabs, its even harder to do. all you can do to pull it off is to get your timing down pat
Use cr.LK or cr.LP instead.
For the sake of bumpage.
I know I’m quoting a very old post here but figure there’d be no harm throwing it in anyways - For one, thats a perfectly viable option (though bare in mind you can’t B/F Dash into SUPER if you use TAP Cancel for obvious reasons
I catch quite a few of the SRK mashers with this, for example. FCBackdash TAP and if they mashed out an SRK (Doesn’t matter what one, only exception possibly being Light SRK) then you’re free to do a full jumpin combo into whatever, or just flat out Ultra. I’d much rather that than doing a TAP Cancel into an immediate Backdash Ultra because if the opponent rightly doesn’t do anything, it’s a wasted Ultra that will be punished severely.
Back on topic, keep up the great work folks!
