yup, just read final showdown’s guide… random super at the end of pretty much any poke string!
oh, and don’t forget the leet strat of roll super. well since it’s kim, rollX3 super
, that shit is great. roll behind them, then roll back in front, super
Hey I cant help it that, that thread rules. Years later and the thread is still good.
Though to be serious umm you really dont have to random super after everything it was just a suggestion where good parts are to… =[
Trust me, SoleEmu does abuse the random super, but in a specific way.
lvl 1, if blocked, immediate lvl 2. Shit doesn’t work anymore though. He either gets thrown or I block cuz his timing skillz are equivalent to a chimp.
this coming from Mr.RollSuper? 
(and btw, don’t talk timing if u still can’t land the guile mk custom :razz: )
but seriously, showdown’s thread is still the holy bible for kim… read it, learn it, use it… heh, i think i’m still on page 1 lmao
infinite is still the shit though! :tup:
:sad: 
:crybaby: thanks
can i get a link to that kim guide plz?
kim tutorial :rock:
btw, u can see the old threads by selecting from the: <beginning> at the bottom of the thread list.
so how exactly do you do the Kim infinite…step by step? I NEVER knew he had one!
oy, either check out the vid for it… check the threads, or read it up on Final Showdown’s guide… check the threads.
heh, almost sounds like RTFM!
watch solemu’s AV till you understand what’s going on
That’s actually pretty good advice…
yeah… tutorial vid is still better since it explains how to do it
this means i have to change my av to be an ass? I could change it to show ppl how to link 2 jabs… lmao
1-what do you do to get in?(in general no character specific) or do you just play defensive?
2-whenever i do c.fwd xx stomp(rh), and try to follow up, i get snuffed by some random button mashed out by my opponent. is it even worth going for? i’m not seeing the reward for trying something afterwards
3-how do you setup your super attempt when you get raged? i normally go for a throw, into a setup or just a crossup rh into shortsx3 xx super
4)what’s up with his cross up j.rh? sometimes i’ll land behind them or in front after a crossup, and they can still block my c.shorts… 
i don’t get K-kim. 
1-short jump roundhouse, walking s.lk, or c.mkxxqcb+k are all ways i get in. But it usually who i’m playing against. if it’s sagat or blanka i just play the poking game. Against the shotos i use the above methods. against chun i just turtle.
2 - you gotta set up the follow ups during the match. If you see you opponent is a masher. get him to stop mashing by hitting him with counter hits or supers. I hardly do his follow ups off of the stomp unless i get a knock down. I set up the follow ups like this: c.lkx3, s.roundhouse (hold), fierce.
3- the few times i play K-kim i don’t really look to land the super unless i’m gonna punish something. i usually go for a lot of throws.
4 - Yeah it usually happens when you’re fighting a small character. Since you’re playing K-groove i suggest you go for a JD if you miss. Usually if i miss i get hit with a super (i play C and N kim, no JD :sad: )
thanks.
sorry about making my comments so vague, i was in kind of a rush to get something posted last night.
1- against sagat, do you guys try to punish sagat’s fierce whiffs with s.fierce or s.short or neither?
2-against P-groove, i haven’t gotten MUCH experience on this, but when i use Kim, most of my point-blank attacks are lows(c.short/jabs/fwd). so after you knockdown a P-groover, what can you do?(other than try to go for ambiguous crossup), kim’s s.fierce(close) kind of sucks on ducking opponent(although you can cancel the first hit to stomp…i guess…), his other standing normals sucks at close range as well.
3-when i use his qcfx2+k super as anti air, i usually follow up d/u+fierce (which does the same damage as d/u+rh + 2nd hit). is there anything else he can do? mixup potential? too bad all of his air-normals can’t cancel into his dive kicks.
4-i skimmed through the kim tutorial link, but most of the stuff i saw were general or common sense stuff that everyone should know if they’ve played the game long enough. i’m curious as to if there’s anything really advance in the kim tutorial. the thing is just so damn long. lol.
i’ve watched some kim vids(D.k, and year-old leezy matches). it doesnt’ seem like kim can do much that looks fancy(other than infinite). there’s two key things that i picked up from those matches
- (from D.K)after knockdown, c.shortx2, s.short, s.short, c.rh usually results in knockdown with the c.rh since for some odd reason people really like to standup after the 2nd s.short. thus being important since this means more opportunity to get in and keep pressure on
2)(from leezy matches) usually the best way for K-kim to combo into super, is to play defensive when you’re bar is near full, that way you can JD, into c.shorts/s.shorts xx super. iirc, leezy usually has to resort to landing the super randomly if he’s not already on top of his opponent. this is good cuz he’s pretty safe if blocked, and you might punish a random whiff(i.e. air super, or low jump baits into dash super)
my game currently revolves more on those two key points. which gets kind of repetitive after a while, so i’m really interested if there’s any other sick parlor tricks or tactics you can do with kim.
1 - This should be the matchup where you have the most confidence in winning. Kim does so well against sagat, so well that i don’t even have my R2 fighting against him anymore, i use kim instead (kim’s usually my R1). The best way to punish a S.fierce is to do kims b,f+k. Sagat is what i like to call a “Stander”. These are the characters that do a lot of standing trying to poke at you. Sagat, cammy, eagle, yama and balrog all fit into this description. If you are ahead in the match and it becomes a poking war, remember that kim’s s.strong will trade with sagat’s s.fierce. poke a lot with s.fierce and s.lk when sagat is getting defensive.
2 - Against p-groove i usually mixup between c.lk and close s.fiercexxstomp. His close fierce isn’t really that bad, you just have to cancel into stomp every time, and if the close fierce hits, you can go for mixups off of c.lk and short jumps.
3 - i don’t use that super unless i’m going for the inf., i just AA with the rush super :xeye: .
4 - the c.shortx2, s.short, s.short, c.roundhouse is one of my main poking strings. after landing that a few times i do c.shortx2, s.short, throw. As for parlor tricks, you can cross up people on the ground since a lot of people forget he can even do it or you can crossup with qcb+k, very risky only works like once every 50 matches, lol.
1-hmm, i guess that’ll take some practice, since there’s a lot of sagat players that like to DP between pokes
2-i wish i knew that…would have helped today in the tourney against 3 P-groovers in a row
3- i use the AA one cuz sometimes the rush one goes under them
4-this is corner only right? i’ve been doing this recently, but only the rh version works. can you do something like medium range c.rh knockdown, qcb+rh for a crossup? sorry my DC is busted so i can’t test this out right now.
one thing that i do with kim is after the c.mk to qcb I do the super dash. After the flip you have enough time to super and they expect you will be open to hit and try to attack u, but instead they get supered in the face. :badboy:
