what os should i use for aa focus attack i tried os criminal upper and that got beat 
i was thinking os bingo but i dont how/if thats possible??
Maybe mk ruffian?
Itâs not an os, youâll have to react.
Mk ruffian only works if they backdash, youâll eat a crumple if they release the charge. Only thing that will work is ex zonk , but you donât always have that charged. Since cody doesnât have an invincible move off the bat, if you recognize your opponent is too happy about anti airing with focus attacks just empty jump and throw.
You canât OS a focus backdash. You can bait it, and in certain cases make them pay for it, but you canât OS. The absorbed attack registers as successful.
Treat it like you would treat a Dudley/Gouken/Juri Counter.
i try the whole empty jump> throw thing, but when i do it, itâs THE ONE TIME they donât aa focus attack -.- guess i just gotta keep at it
Learn to react to AA focus with a backdash.
Most people release it as soon as their opponent lands, so if they do that, youâll make the focus whiff with your backdash and get a free cr. hp xx hp criminal upper.
At what point do you stop holding zonk? like vs a ryu for example i would hold mp zonk then chuck hp rocks until i get close enough to use zonk through a fb. however some people smarten up to this (lol like they all should) and stop throwing fireballs when im in range to do zonk, which leaves me stuck with no mp too aa, and i cant let go of it bcuz if i do i will be whiff punished. so i was just curious as to what do you guys do in a situation like this?
For one thing I charge hp zonk so I donât have to worry about AAs, and if you want to stop charging zonk just neutral jump and let go of the button.
I use hp too 90% of the time and I wiff a normal to release the charge, usually s.mk or s.mp or even lp rock.
Yeah, HP should be the one you hold, you can also whiff a normal and let go at the same time.
edit : damn, otori beat me to it. what he said, lol.
oh ok, so while charging hp zonk what do you guys do in fireball wars, just jump?
Well from fullscreen you donât need zonk charge and for almost every other range other than that lp rocks is better, less startup, more frame advantage on block, etc.
How does one deal with the neutral game against a turtle claw player? Itâs pretty frustrating when the claw player is on point with their blocking and teching. Of course clawâs wake-up is ass but he specializes in keeping the opponent out the whole match. Itâs just a match-up I personally have trouble with at times since my cousin mains him.
Vega has pretty weak anti air, so when he sticks out a poke heâs committed to it. If you jump over, heâs forced to block; unlike ryu who can whiff a poke and DP in time if you jump. If you force him to block a jump in youâre in there and heâs screwed.
any1 have a link to codys frame data or better yet, any information on character specific punishes
I donât know if anyone watched SBO, but something caught my attention during the Momochi vs. Fuudo match.
Momochi put Fuudo in the corner, baited DP and punished it with EX Zonk, FADC, Crack Kick, EX CU.
After that he backdashed, walked a bit, traded with FP (seems that Fuudo was crouch teching) and followed with U2.
Is this some setup (it is really strange that he spent all 4 bars) and is U2 OS or just done on reaction?
I must say that I am surprised that FP connected from that far.
Iâm gonna assume that you mean Stomach Blow when you write FP. In that case, Iâd say he just reacted to the trade and pressed the punches: he would have been buffering the motion all along anyway.
Concerning his punish, I guess thatâs the best punish there is if you have your ex zonk charged.
But then again, I would probably need to see the matches. So if anyone has any kind of link, pm it to me, please =)
No, not Stomach Blow, close st. FP.
I know that it can trade, but it seemed like Momochi expected that.
As for the punish, he spent 4 bars on 318 damage, where he couldâve spent 2 for 302.
It does not seem worth to me, but ⌠Momochi is Momochi :).
You can check the match here (starts around 37:20) - youtube.com/watch?v=36Y-kULvaiw
Oh yeah, of course, fierce.
You have to consider stun too. But yes, that was an option select. A lot of players now have OSs to deal with trades. Just have a look at this:
