cl.hp xx cr.mp xx special is an easy link that’s better than cr.hp xx special.

Hey I have a pretty simple question about getting some cody combo’s down. Right now I can do hit confirm c.lp’s into c.mp/c.lk x anything and I punish with c.hp x hk.ruffian FADC f.hk ex CU when I’ve got meter or just c.hp CU or lk.ruffian for hard knockdown. I can do these nearly every time and only fail them due to lag or I get nervous. I’m looking for more damage and stun on my combo’s but f.mp cl.mp c.hp x anything is a bit out of my execution reach right now, I’m practicing it but until I get it I need something in the meantime. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

I’m thinking maybe f.mp c.mp x anything but that damage is a hair lower than just c.hp x anything. My frame traps are weak and even when I do get a counter I hardly ever react in time to land a c.hp so I’m looking for something more basic. Also any other advice you can give me is welcome, from reading my post you can probably tell where my general skill level is so if you were where I am now was there anything you grinding out in training mode that really helped your gameplay?

try cl.hp, c.mp xx (hp cu, lk or ex ruffian) as punish combo. it’s the next step.

You could always tackle the rest of his question because I don’t feel like talking about frame traps yet again lol

Tundravalco · February 17, 2012, 6:28am

oh awesome thanks guys that’s so easy! oh and j.hk cl.hp c.mp xx hk.ruffian FADC f.hk ex CU is even better now, I love this combo lol.

edit: AHH when I mess up the plink a c.lp comes out. It’s fool proof haha
edit again: 822 stun jump in and 628 non jump in. I’m a happy cody

otori · February 17, 2012, 6:35am

Though if the cr.lp comes out, you do less damage than a straight cr.hp xx special.

Tundravalco · February 17, 2012, 6:50am

yeah but it’s better than a whiffed hp.cu or blocked c.mp

edit: I found this video where sasaki combos f.mp c.hp without a counter. How is this possible? The combo is at 2:20

you can, if f.mp hits meaty. that’s what’s so astonishing - he realized that in a wink of an eye.

I’m having trouble hitting the timing on bad spray on wake-up. From what I understand, it only works when you tech, so are you hitting the tech and then cr.mp immediately after, or are you actually teching with the down input of the bad spray? It would be easily solved if I was at home and could just jump into training mode with my stick, but I’m an exchange student and only places I have to play are the arcades of Hong Kong (which are great, don’t get me wrong). Little help?

zUkUu · February 22, 2012, 3:16pm

just hold “up” and mash any punch.

Ramma · February 25, 2012, 12:24pm

Sometimes when I’m doing cr. LK into hp cu after a hit confirm or as a punish, the LK will hit but the criminal upper gets blocked. Why is this happening? Am I missing the cancel window? It never happens from st. Hp or cr. MP or cr. HP. Just from cr LK. I don’t think it is a spacing issue.

If its lag then okay, but if its execution, I need to clean up. So which is it?

otori · February 25, 2012, 8:31pm

Hitstun on cr.lk is really short so it does sometimes wiff (my theory is that you’re too far for the first hit of the cu to connect). Probably when you recognize this spacing or when you use too many hitconfirms (like 3 crlp, crlk) go for mk ruffian instead.

Ramma · February 26, 2012, 4:14am

Hmm, makes sense. Guess I need to go back to using cr MP more instead of cr LK. Thanks.

otori · February 26, 2012, 4:34am

Most of the time (like 90%) that will cause less damage than cr.lk xx criminal upper because the pushback on cr.mp causes the initial hits for the criminal upper to wiff.

Ramma · February 26, 2012, 4:39am

Damn it lol. Well…damn it. Stick with LK then?

melovegames · February 27, 2012, 3:06am

Practice doing cr. lk xx hp criminal upper as fast as possible in training mode until it becomes second nature.

Ramma · February 27, 2012, 3:17am

It is second nature. Can do the combo 10/10 no problem in the training room. It’s just during matches that it seems to fail maybe 1 out of those 10 times, where as combos cancels like cr. MP, st. HP, cr. HP never do -shrug- That’s why I’m confused.

otori · February 27, 2012, 3:24am

My suggestion is to stick with cr.lk xx criminal upper, but recognize the range where you need to cancel into mk ruffian instead. A rule of thumb is whenever you used too many hitconfirms (3 jabs, cr.lk, for one). After just two jabs and the cr.lk, it almost never happens.

Fmito · February 28, 2012, 1:29am

i’m trying to start using knife. Does anyone have some tips? frametraps and others…

Ramma · February 29, 2012, 6:12am

I’m curious about some meaty set-ups that Cody can follow up with after knockdown. I only know two that seem to work off of teched KDs. These two:

Criminal Upper - whiffed crack kick, st. HP
LK Ruffian Kick - whiffed MK Ruffian Kick, st. HP

What are some other good meaty set ups I can use? Both off untechable and techable KDs that is.

otori · February 29, 2012, 3:07pm

forward throw dash twice.
