Cr.MP says he misses you.
Actually Hk Hurricane is a better punisher Just wanted to point that out
cr.mp > bushin flip to catch the reset. works wonders
thanks for the tips, but i was implying the lag was messing up my timing. my cr.MP would whiff, and then i’d get eaten alive by mash uppercut after their hurricane kick. 
Lame stuff, man. 
Do you use a router? And if you do, have you ever tried portforwarding?
Some of you may have seen the videos of Daigo at SVB 20-X.Well I was there too and it was my first SSFIV tournament and my first “big” tournament ever(only other tourneys I’ve been in are a couple of 3rd strike ones held in a London arcade).As this was my first tournament it was my goal not to lose my first match.We were placed in groups of 6 and the top 2 players went through.I ended up beating a Seth and a Dudley and got beaten by an Abel,however I was still top 2 in my group so I’d made it out of group stages!It was much better than my original goal of just winning my first match.
Knockout stages and I face an Adon who I lose to and get knocked out of the tourney,not dissapointed at all and playing Guy all the way through,I was chuffed.However I would say Abel and Adon are matches I want to learn because when I lost to those characters in the tourney,I got raped by them.Abel in particular seems like a hard match for Guy when you face a legit Abel player who has good execution etc.It just seems like Abel can roll through all of your pressure you try to start with command elbows,he can counter them with cr.fierce aswell which leads to falling sky or soulless.
Adon is an easier matchup just by nature of the character design but when all you’re used to playing is online Adons who throw out the wall kick move(which you normally predict and punish bushin flip),then its tougher when you face one that is more fundamental.
Anyway I’ve been getting in as much casuals as possible through the weekend of SVB and I also got to witness Ryan Hart play some Guy in casuals too, he mains Ryu now though 100%.Top 8 is tomorrow with lots of heavy hitters in there so it should be fun.
Abel if he rolls grab him, if he rolls stupidly to try and get in Ultra 2, if you land TC~Run/Slide you can do Neutral Jump mk/hk OS Ultra two, if he is in the corner he is ultimately fucked when this is done, but Abel HAS to block or get hit by the NJ or he will get 500 damage for free
ahhh the adon matchup… i learned this matchup very well after 3 straight hours of adon matches with a friend of mine. ok so… i’m sure you know by now… do not focus against adon. he has too many moves that armor break including st. rh because it hits twice. just block… block everything he has… adon lacks a strong mixup game and a lot of his pressure revolves around using jaguar kick to get in/stay in your face. if you’re blocking everything… most likely they’re gonna cancel something into jaguar kick… this is your chance to royally fuck him up. cr. forward beats it out clean. any version… airborne or not… it will cause jaguar kick to whiff and adon to land into it for a free knockdown.
just be aware that if he does it in the air you might have to throw out the cr. forward a little later because airborne JK causes him to float a bit. now if you’re blocking everything and i mean EVERYTHING… if adon ever scores a knockdown… and gets in your face on wake up… most likely they’re going to try and instant overhead you with nj. rh or nj. forward xx jaguar kick. if they’re a smart adon… upon landing after the nj. rh they’re going to attempt to dp. nj. rh has enough hit stun/block stun that you can’t really hit him on the way back down. and if he uses nj. forward as an instant overhead… it doesn’t cause enough block/hit stun taht he can dp when he lands so you CAN hit him on the way back down. because of this most likely the nj. forward will be canceled into jaguar kick… just… cr. forward that shit.
be aware of his tick throws… i’m sure you know adon’s throw range is massive. and pay VERY close attention to his crossups. don’t forget how short his jump arc is as well as how quickly he lands. cr. forward beats his crossup attempts.
d+elbow gives adon problems… his dp can’t beat it consistently. actually now that i think about it… i can’t recall his dp ever beating out d+elbow.
personally i just use cr. strong to beat jaguar tooth… or hell… any normal beats it out… jaguar tooth has ZERO priority… st. rh is perfectly in it’s trajectory and has a good amount of active frames that you can throw it out early and beat it out. if i’m feeling flashy i’ll EX TK izuna… great if you want one of those OOOOOHHHHH moments.
oh and one more thing… be careful when safe jumping with nj. forward or rh because adon gets up faster than the rest of the cast… so adjust your timing and safe jump earlier than you normally would.
just moved back to school. no access to the router. :sad:
and, i’ll add this post to the match up thread when i finally update it tonight.
i’ve been doing something lately as sort of an option select following a cl. fierce CH setup. now… let’s say i land CH cl. fierce xx run stop. so then i try and link the ff chain because the cl. fierce forces a stand. but i miss the link and the opponent was holding downback so the st. jab from the ff chain whiffs. well… as sort of an OS… when i input ff chain i’ve been hitting st. jab, jab+short+strong, fierce, rh. the reason… if i miss the link after the CH cl. fierce xx run stop… the st. jab whiffs over their crouch and when i hit jab+short+strong for the second hit of ff chain, they get thrown, BUT if i don’t mess up the link after the cl. fierce xx run stop… i still get ff chain. i hope this makes sense haha.
Video this xD I wanna see this OS
i would just like to state for the guy threads… that i won a footsy war against a chun. hardest thing i’ve ever had to do with guy haha. also… wish i could’ve got this on video but i perfected a dhalsim with 3 ex flip grab loops for a dizzy and a perfect hahaha… saltiness…engaged.
nicee good shit maestro. are you on psn or xbl ?
neither unfortunately… but soon hopefully. i don’t play online… we have an arcade where i live… those matches were against the regulars that show up on sundays. we did record some matches though… so if my friend uploads them to youtube… i’ll find them and post them in the video thread. but i think all the recordings were really early in the session so i was still warming up. all the crazy rushdown run stop pressure i didn’t do until after my friend’s battery died unfortunately haha. i literally pushed my friend from midscreen to the corner with run stops. i wish that would’ve got recorded.
lmao nice. do you ever play at arcade ufo ? i run matches there a lot
^^ nope… i live in northern california. the arcade we have is just a small local one located in a mall… but we have really good solid comp out here.
wow for some reason i thought you were Mista Klutch…my bad lmao
MADma3str0 where do you play? I go to school at Saint Mary’s in Moraga (right by Lafayette). I’m trying find a few players around campus, but I’ve only found one so far. It would be nice to have an arcade scene to go to.
i live in the northbay… lafayette’s a pretty good distance… at least an hour and some. the arcade is tilt at solano mall… if you’re willing to drive up there… there’s always a good 9 or 10 of us that show up every weekend. we’re all good… and have been playing fighters seriously for at least 5+ years.
has any one been keeping up with the srk homepage’s announcements on changes in the arcade release of ssf4? looks like they’re making some HUGE changes to some characters. gief EX green hand doesn’t knockdown… seth’s j. fierce might be entirely removed. this gives me hope about changes to guy… LIKE TC WORKING CONSISTENTLY.
