I stopped doing mantis super, but actually you can catch him pretty safely with hk crane super. If you do it somewhat late I’ve been smacked with a reverse but as long as I can clearly see thats what he’s doing I almost always get him.
Technically if you can predict the ex headstomp I’ve found lk crane super actually will catch the ex headstomp. But, can’t say I’d recommend trying it as if he does a reverse instead the lk super doesn’t go anywhere so it’ll be wasted.
thank you sir.
gen can finish whatever place he wants. when the game came out gen was voted as one of the worst chars in the game. now look. with time and effort gen can do very well! ive been using gen locally and pulling off mk hands more reliably.
if you make it to fourth place with gen your a smart player with a good character.
he was my original main when it came out and he’s slowly coming back to current main.
faith in gen is what i have, and its proven to be worth it. people in this thread are high level gen players and it’s an honor to learn from you all. mk hands was the hidden potential.
… Cause nobody ever wins tournaments with Gen. Right Yeb? Ariez?
You mean right Ariez correct?Yeb’s busy crossing up noobs.

lol i dont get it.
im bringing gen to final round. last year gen was my main at final round and i think its only right to get my revenge with gen. with all the skills and tips i gained over the year im confident now.
Do us proud.
Good Luck bud,do us proud! :o
Man Gen got the shaft in showing us his new ultra’s. They totally teased us in the beginning of the stream picking his second set of ultra’s and then just quitting.
maybe they’ll switch him around. crane its an air hitting combo (super) that can be followed by mantis ground grab
Did you see this?
Yeah, according to chunbelievable, Gen has been altered quite a bit. He now has his chain combo’s, ex. given was he can do c.lp>c.mp>hp.hands. Supposedly hands only takes 3 to 4 inputs now. Gekiro’s timing is different(Said to be made easier, though likely to be more difficult for people who actually learned how to do it). EX Oga is no longer a safe wakeup move. But Oga in general is a lot faster. Slightly slower than Adon’s jaguar tooth.
I’m just gonna copy chunbelievable’s post.
Gen:
The main hting im concerned about here is Ex Oga not being safe on wakeup and getting his chains back (this is a good thing). The fewer punch for hands is not bad also. Hmm. Hope they dont mess our Gen up to bad.
i’ve got the imputs for mk hands ingraved in muscle memory… so this is gonna be strange. lol. would his supers be the same? i wouldn’t mind if punch super was the same and kick super was different. all i use for kick stance is ex oga, and sometimes c.lk FA ultra. if i can get my girlfriends camera ill upload some vids so ya’ll can critique if ya dont mind. i’ve got a rage quit picture to from the other night lol.
i know this doesn’t belong in a video thread but gen gods be proud.
combo was jump mk, mp,mk, hands, mk, super prolly quit at super flash thinkin how the fuck. then didn’t get to ultra for the win.
lol,I hate rage quitters. if your going to play the game play till the very end and dont coward out of a loss. Accept it like I did when I played Tom. Lol
yeah… i played asiantom today… i was missin mk hands like the whole time. im gettin it like 85 percent of the time but i was fuckin up! besides that he out played me with ken and sim. but my cammy didnt get royally raped by this sakura. still beat me the whole time. lol.
anyways im gonna go back to whoopin the locals lol
If the inputs remain less on the final release I can’t imagine it being very difficult for the adjustment. The input can very simply be lp, mp, hp, hp. That is a very easy piano or slide plus a tap. So imagine plink s.mk + lp, mp, hp, hp… I have been just practicing motor exorcises and it’s seems doable even as a cross handed player.
Non cross handed could be plink s.mk + hp, mp, lp, hp. Dude that is cake! Because the chain timing seemed super strict “I don’t think” you will chain mk into hp as long as you plink.
ah… im sure ill adjust. i can’t do the slide method in fear of injury lol. but with a fewer imput requirement im sure i’d beable to quickly piano like you suggested. thank you. thats why im gonna stay locked in my room in training mode for a week or two.
btw… anyone see yeb playing last night? i watched the stream and was happy to see a gen on there. it helped once again by watching. whatching the vids in this thread was the biggest thing for me.
I seen Yeb last night play. He was okay.
Thats how i learnt alot of my Gen skills when i first started. All I did was watch every single high level Gen videos out there. (aka JiBbo and Yeb only real high level known back then.) Then AsianTom and Evil Rasaan came into the picture,etc. Watching vids was a real help. And bugging them on the forums here for help through messages.
