Mastering the Mantis: Yang Combo Thread

If you’re in training mode right now, it might help if you try special canceling later rather than earlier. When you land the cr.lk, try special canceling as late as you can.

It is a meaty palm. They recover from the c.lk straight into the active frames of the palm, unable to hit it’s startup, so you’re forced to block it or reversal, if you can.

mago does it here as well to vega, for some reason, im missing it on larger charaters

I wanted to ask some explanation of this reset …


To make the dragon in a cross kick up, which should be done and with what timing? This reset only works on one side?

Another question…
After the first dive whiff,the second dive whiff should be made with lk, mk or hk?

Thanks :smiley:

That DP isn’t crossing up. It just happens that you’re doing the DP 20f early, so the 2nd shadow is hitting what looks to be a whiff. As far as timing goes, you’ll just have to hit the lab.

and I whiff with MK DK.

Mago must’ve read Staying Free posts, because he’s the only Yang player I see going for MP Palm, FADC, s.lp, cl.mk at all lol.

I’m sure this is known but for those of you who don’t know, when you set up a meaty medium palm in the corner and it counter hits, you get a free combo starting with either his s.mp target combo or c.mk into HP slashes into whatever. The stun goes up to 400+

I bet u watched the yang vs cody video featuring sako

If your post is in regards to mine, no. I figure shit out on my own. Sako plays Yang? I don’t even know what you’re talking about lol

ya, it was up on eventhubs. you should watch it. I think sako just started playing yang, but he has some fun tricks

It’s character specific though. I think. I haven’t really figured it out completely. It’s just funny that I decide to wait almost two weeks before posting and Sako so happens to do it live, for the whole world to see loll

I am pretty sure he played Yang in the arcades before trying Ibuki (Tokido blop post)

On a random note, I’m amused that every Cammy player switched to Yang. Even the ones I know chose him in AE lol.

Sure did lol

The playstyle is very similar and having other tools such as an overhead an command grab just make it more fun. I still play cammy, in fact shes my better character still, but shes not as fun as she was in super.

Argh I can’t tell if it’s my bad execution or if it doesn’t work

Corner: FA Lv3 xx backdash EX Palm clMK HK Roll Kick EX Roll Kick Ultra 2

Can’t tell if the Ultra 2 whiffs because it doesn’t link or am I just being too slow

it works. you’re doing something wrong.

on the subject of the cr. lk reset, I was testing out a midscreen one as well
cl.MK, whiff MKdive, cl.MK, whiff MKdive, cr.lk, LK dash
if you delay the dive kick a small amount it makes the cr.lk easier to time and the dash crosses up, if you do both dives asap you have to time the cr.lk and the dash doesn’t cross up
the non-cross-up might only work on big characters…could get it to work on hakan but not juri. however the series as a whole was easier to get on juri.
I think the palm that they might be using is HP, it meaties perfectly after cr.lk in the corner

  1. Zenpou Tenshin(Forward Roll). :hcb::p: - It is suppose to be a kick, not a punch.

i need practice add me on xbl Ryan partyshard

[LEFT]Does anyone know have any tips on how I can stop my tendency to mash the rekkas. In training mode, I do it smoothly, but when I get into a match, I start to panic. This is probably my only flaw with playing as Yang. Fei also.[/LEFT]
