Who the hell falls for this in 2012? I remember someone doing that for the first time to Daigo in like 2008 and he immediately dp’d them into ultra before they landed.
I honestly never thought of this before, but in SF games I almost always use a heavy attack when I jump in(unless a medium air attack is fucking amazing).
is that bad?
It’s not that people fall for it - the offending party knows that in laggy situations, that gimmick can be difficult to max punish. Think vanilla Ken with LP shoryuken mashing. Offline, I don’t think anybody TRULY falls for it, outside of the first time they see it.
Use it when you know someone is trying to punish with Ultra. They’ll back up to give themselves space to react, then they’ll start pumping. Just walk into jumping range, then jump and do EX Tatsu to make their Ultra whiff.
You’re missing out on a lot of options. Ryu’s jumping LK is a very good tool, especially in the corner where ambiguous x-ups are strong.
