I think he just reacted to the trade, i do it all the time. I don’t use the os thing because if you get a counter hit you have to input the ultra again or if it is just a regular hit it’s hard to confirm without getting a criminal upper.
Regarding the punish, i think he just had an ex zonk charged and so couldn’t do the usual punish in time. Notice before he did a “random” ex zonk, he was trying to punish fuudo’s focus attacks. What’s amazing is that right after momochi tried that once, fuudo, the most focus happy guy i’ve ever seem, immediately stopped using fa. Japanese players are on another level holy shit.
I’ve been having a problem lately against a lot of ryus that know when Im doing the ex ruffian mixup to leave the joystick in neutral and to throw me when the J.hp whiffs. I Know people say to do a neutral jump fierce to beat this, but the timing is different and It’s pretty obvious to spot. Is it possible to OS something like sweep or medium ruffian on the jump in to beat people who don’t block?
Anyhow…i was playing yesterday and face a rog, idk if its actually an unblockable but he got hit everytime and sometimes i landed on the front and other behind him, didnt have time to go to training room to confirm that yet but if someone can or if its already old…
Goes like this, after normal bnb xx ex ruffian kick u will cross under him, back dash, press mp, nothing will come out, then j.mk, going to test better today, but worked 100% the times i tried on him at least.
If you are pressing mp and nothing is coming out, it means you are pressing it too soon and thereby manually timing your setup. There are a lot of potential unblockables on balrog after and ex ruffian. You should check the inputs in replay mode to see if he is blocking correctly or try to test it out in training mode to be sure.
The ex ruffian corner set up does not work on everyone.
Someone just posted a list of who it does and doesn’t work on in the match up thread.
It won’t work on Oni, Akuma, Gouken, Sagat, Gen, Hakan, Balrog, Rose, Abel, Sagat, Cammy…ex RK goes right under them. Also, the ex RK works but the j. HP whiffs on Juri (the list he created says otherwise, but it has never worked on Juri for me), Adon, E. Honda and Vega. With the last group, you can go for a j. MK, but that’s nothing special.
It’s character dependant, he crosses under some members of the cast. Out of the top of my head, it happens vs akuma, oni, sagat, seth, gen, maybe rog and probably a few other that i can’t remember.
For these there are midscreen setups for unblockables, but not corner ones afaik, so just avoid using it in the corner.
So been working on a cody spreadsheet and testing the setups i know i just found out that if some characters don’t press anything the j.hp after the ex ruffian, double dash setup whiffs entirely. Is this right or am i fucking it up?
Also some stuff is kinda hard to do and timing dependant on each character. So to finish the sheet hopefully by this year i’ll just adopt a rule of thumb like try something 20 times to confirm it works or not and if i get something wrong people can just correct it later. I might also include this info (how hard it is to nail the setups) since it’s very easy vs some characters and hard or unreliable on others.
Yeah when they leave the stick in neutral and press nothing the set-ups will whiff. Have to resort to j.mk for a true xup. What set-ups are gonna be on the spreadsheet? the one you listed and the mid-screen set-ups?
Well let me know if you need help testing certain set-ups, wouldn’t mind helping you verifying which set-ups work etc. I feel with the right conditioning meaties really benefit Cody’s game aswell, combo-ing s.hp into c.hp without counterhit is too good to not try. I’ll try compiling a list of different meaty set-ups to go with your untech kd list.
Hmm, well, if you want help or need help, send me the stuff you wrote and I won’t mind compiling it. My 360 met death yesterday so it’ll give me something to do.
I’ve been trying to do the s.mp, cr.fp xx fierce CU combo for awhile now. Very rarely does the CU come out. Idk what I’m doing wrong, I’ve tried doing it as fast as I can, slowing it down, but it seems to be completely random as to whether or not it comes out. What could I be doing wrong?
The s.mp, cr.hp is the hardest part because it’s a 1 frame link. canceling the CU shouldn’t be too hard. go to training mode and check your inputs for the CU to make sure you are hitting all the inputs.
That’s the weird thing; the link is really easy for me but cancelling into CU after it is weird, and my inputs in training look fine. I’ve even tried tightening my stick to tighten up the input but it still doesn’t come out a lot. I go straight to down when I do the cr.fp and then roll it back and hit fp after the plink but it just tends to not come out.
Also I can’t do RH ruffian FADC ultra 1 to the right for the life of me.
