Just Rolling With It: Yang General Discussion Thread

I just want to say that while I am maining Yang, I will come back once this forum has calmed down and the runts run back to their ryu’s and ken’s

Only Yang’s cl.mk is jump-cancelable.

I NEED to check this fools frame data.

We gonna show fools that Yang is the true twin to fear.

Someone posted frame data earlier under a torrent. I think it was transferred over to the wiki.

That’s what I thought. The Yang Combo thread needs to be corrected.

Yeah; I’ll correct it. I need to just completely rewrite it, tbh.

Being the only Yang in a New Character room full of Yuns is ANNOYING.

Still trying to get my personal bnb of c.LP, c.LP, s.LP, c.MK xx Rekkas down.

Use c.LK, c.LP, c.MK xx rekkas.

c.LK is faster than c.LP, has better reach, and has to be blocked low.

s.LP whiffs on some crouchers. Think Blanka and Honda.

I use c.LK, c.LK xx rekkas. But, YMMV.

If I felt comfortable enough to do that link, I would, however I don’t, so I won’t.

sLK>sMk target combo is also jump cancellable, for what it’s worth

Not much, but more options are never really a bad thing.

The worst option is the one not made.

I wish there was a trial mode for yang so I can actually see what chains and practice. :confused:

Plink it. c.lp to c.mk is almost as easy as s.lp to c.mk. I’m not sure the frame data on the wiki is correct, it’s far to easy to be a one-frame link - the data says that it’s actually a 0F link (c.lp has +6 on hit, c.mk is 6F startup)…

It’s not that I have a problem with, it’s c.LK to c.LP, because for some reason it never wants to come out properly for me, and I hate putting mulitple links in a combo with different timings.

I’ll obviously use it in the future, but it’s either have another bnb to fall back on, or never use Yang until I get the combo down. What would you prefer?

I fought something today that left me feeling the pure, uncut sodium flowing through my veins: walk back / crouchblock Guile.

It was almost entirely hopeless. If I walk forward, I have to expect a sonic boom. If I take to the air, it’s either sonic boom, flash kick, or crouching fierce.

I mean, once I get a knockdown, the fight tends to go my way, but until then, I have to find a way around his bullshit.

What would be the proper method to approaching boring Guile. I’m thinking of just staying across the screen building meter and making him impatient.

Gah, I’ve been spoiled by hawk.

I think Guile / Gief / Hawk ( Masherz… ) / Claw and Chun-li are potenial problem for Yang.

Against Guile, keep a close range to focus out of Sonic and use St.LK ( OS Light Mantis ) then confirm if you hit.

Againt hawk, your medium Senkyutai / U2 punishes condor dives.

I have problem against abel too.

Remember that you can bait a wake-up Ultra from Hawk or Gief with Ex tenshin since you’re throw immune.

Trade U1 is starting to piss me off.

I am a former Dhalsim main (since vanilla) and I’m starting to use Yang and I’m loving him, it’s an awesome char!
I just need to adapt myself to pressure now, instead of escaping the pressure.

Worst matchup for me so far is Blanka, I just don’t have an answer to his moves. The only good part about the matchup is that I also play Dhalsim lol

S.Lk buffered into lp rekka is awesome for pressure.
