Thanks! I just buckled down and got an arcade stick today after using the xbox pad for too damn long though… So it’ll be me and a padded up Dan dummy for awhile until I’ve made the transition. Look out for me starting a new mk>hands thread soon… jk.
agh, rokotsu had to carry the team in the end. Gen is a difficult character I guess.
good find… all were good gen players. Really solid footsies by rokotsu.
True, good gens with rokotsu being the stand out… Good giefs too. Nifty trick, catching a wakeup backdash with Ultra 2.
wtf i dont understand how to open the video player D:
Its amazing to see Geifs play footsies so well.
some new vids…check it.

I’ve got to jet to bed, so I just checked out Ryu.
Don’t jump that much, a good ryu would punish. Dash in and use pokes. Even bait him to do something. Finish your combos. Finish Gekiro kicks. Keep the pressure on Ryu, instead of dashing back. If you don’t want to get in his grill just stay where you are. Don’t move back. Unless you plan on baiting something out or faking that you are retreating and use Crane s.MP. Throwing out Oga Ceiling drops out of no where, if you do use them. The best thing to do is practice using the angles so you can escape punishes or trick them on which side you are going to land. IMO it’s bad vs ryu unless you are going for chip when you knock him down. Try using Mantis c.MP into Hands as well it works wonders. Practice Focus Attacking through fireballs so you can get in on them. Be aware of your distances, if you Focus attack in and try to throw a poke that isn’t going to reach, someone like Ryu can reverse that with a SRK and FADC into ultra so be aware of how close you are in on them. If you are too far bother poking.
Edit: actually I’ll watch them all.
Honda, vs a good honda. crossing up will be tough. also getting in on him will be tough as well, using walk block walk block can help. as if you dash in, you can get caught with a headbutt. if you get a knock down use fake jabs etc to bait out wake up buttslams as some try to use that as a wake up option. It works very well if you do try to cross them up. So be careful of crossing them up too much. Safe jumping works well.
Cammy, use more AA’s and punish better.
Tip some times if you use s.MP, s.MP and both are blocked. Follow-up with a sweep. It can catch people off guard.
whenever i try such a thing i get hit by a reversal :<
vs Ryu i was just really scared so I played it safe. get in, do my safe little damage, get out. any time I try to do more, I eat a reversal shoryu
same vs ken
i have the same problem with gen i like playing safe with him maybe that why i can handle mixup and rushdown characters well but guile bison and chun who stand on the other side of the screen annoyance me.
my point is don’t do anything other than stand there. let them make a move. don’t poke don’t do anything. When you play vs really good ken’s and Ryus. you will work really hard just to get in. these guys aren’t THAT great. Practice vs guys like this now, instead of waiting until you play really good footsie and zoning shotos. Get knock down, move just out of their c.MK reach. Then go from there. Stop dashing back. I’m telling you, get out of this habit. I have the habit still and you get caught with stuff. A non-techable knock down gives Ryu an chance to wake up and SUPER you if you are dash back happy. so stop. Knock him down, move into a range by walking, then let them make a mistake. don’t try to poke, don’t try to over head. Practice that, then move into poking, safe jumping etc etc.
im the same… you can try your hardest agains Ken and Ryu, then it only take one random dp to switch momentum.
I want to play rush down and try and not give them a chance for an offence, but because of that safe ass/random lp dp …i get scared and get deffensive almost straight away.
There’s always this mental block of fear…“he’s gona zone me out” … “i dont know how to get it” …“he gona random dp me in between my combo’s”… when i play against ryu or or ken.
Good advise mate, the problem i will have is pushing my old habbits out of my head and try using your advise.
Just keep practicing. I stopped playing for a while because of life. When I went back to playing. I wasn’t playing footsies well, I was jumping for no reasons again and I was dashing WAY too much. Just keep telling yourself these things. Best thing is just before you get into a match. Just talk to yourself in your head. Don’t jump a lot, don’t dash away once I’m in. I worked so hard to get in. etc etc. just remind yourself of your game plan.
Yay, I’m finally able to post vids of this guy
This is my friend bayarea510’s Gen. drdremacdre here on SRK. IMO the best Gen around. what do you think

Watched the dudley match. And i gotta say AAing dudley is stupid! Played one online with gen and traded almost every anti air and immediately went into training mode. Cr.fierce doesn’t anti air dudley well(trades almost every time, not at all in your favor) so you have to use crane cr.rh. I saw you do a mk hands fadc mp mk hands combo. It should have been mk hands fadc mp hpxxlk gekiro. Max damage + knockdown for oki. Make sure you meaty dudley well on wake up cross ups because if it’s not good you can get cross countered (ex leads to ultra anywhere on screen if you’re deep).
to be honest he’s really…well…meh. He’s trying to play a meh worthy vanilla gen, when this is super. Mk hands combos are not good punishers, especially when you fadc the first hit(this gave away the vanilla factor). Crane cr.lk should never be used, there are better substitutes. Jumpers jumpers. I could go on really.
thats my gen and those vids are old replays i had that i uploaded so i can delete them, if you want we can have a ft5 psn bayarea510
