Yeah. T Hawk and Gief are not as much of a problem to play lame. I picked up the st.hk trick when I saw neo do 5 of them in a row to someone during the Evo “Salty Suite” stream.
Vs some of the others is where I feel clueless. Hope you don’t mind me explaining further:
Chun: The Chun player I fought kept tell me to not let him bully me into the corner. But I just couldn’t stop him from advancing. Don’t know if he had just had me downloaded by then, but I couldn’t even get set up to try and lame him out. It felt like I’d be half a screen away and I was getting hit with hazonshu’s on my fireball charges. Every focus was legsed. He told me to wake up kasatushi, but considering I’ve never had that work on my wake up, I told him that doesn’t work.
**Fei Long: **I actually haven’t fought many Fei’s, but from the ones I remember, I just got random rekka’d all the time.
**Adon: **I haven’t fought many Adon’s, but I do remember not having that big a problem with them. Probably cause I’m fighting bad Adons, but I haven’t been scared of Adon yet.
**Bison: **Ugh. This is one of my top 3 least favorite matches from Super. Only times in this match I seem to do good is when I just go 100% random. I have a bison friend I’ve played several times online and it feels like unless I’m downbacking 100% of the time, I’m going to just get steam rolled. This match just feels like unless I just have really good reaction, I’m going to just lose by rushdown.
**Rose: **Another of the top 3 I hated in super. I’ll back off at the opening of the round, then I don’t quite know what I should be doing. If I fireball, she’s just absorbing for a better super, or I’m too predictable cause and get jumped in on. Then she gets the knock down and it’s her cross up bullshit. Or if I happen to block it right, it’s just buttons, buttons, buttons, buttons, buttons, buttons, buttons where if I attempt anything, I’m getting counter hit. She just feels like she has free pressure on me all day with her c.strong > drill/fireball pressure once she gets that 1 knockdown.
Cammy: You didn’t mention her, but she was the last of my top 3. I can’t fireball zone her. I can’t footsie her. I can’t AA her. I get tick thrown constantly. Thankfully I have a cammy player an hour and a half away from me (not really that big of a scene in my area), so I can get some practice with him online if needs be.
I’ve read the match-up guide tips for all these charaters, but it seems like my opponent can still overpower me anyway, or I can’t properly do what the tips say. It’s just so demoralizing sometimes. And every time I try and zone it doesn’t matter vs some of these characters. Is there some kind of rotation you guys do when trying to fireball zone? Cause as of right now, I’m just randomly throwing them out and it seems like I guessed the wrong fireball 75% of the time.
