Walk at her and keep her grounded with AA’s. She can’t really run away once she’s cornered as divekick doesn’t go over people in this game like it did in sf4 (unless they’re knocked down) and her jump arc is pretty tight so she can’t crossup unless you’re fairly close. Same way you deal with guile basically.

thanks man… i’ll try to keep this thing updated…

yesterday’s resolution: just get it on… results: 27 out of 50… really played last night… most of the matches I lost were against Jin/HeiHachi/Kazuya… gotta train how to block those chains/links… my blocking got better though… got a new problem: Turtling Gief… if i Jump: Lariat like theres no tomorrow… even trying to crossup failed… homework: work on footsies… i’ve noticed something from yesterday: why don’t i use overheads?.. tonight i’ll try to find something to link Ryu’s F. Mp… noticed something else: linking from Cr.Lp or Cr. Lk into launcher is REALLY IMPORTANT… seems one of the major tools against turtling… now i have more resolutions for next week… also i have in mind working on cross cancels… my BP is 1724… got it up like 400 points… i got 3 “gg” messages… one of them even said he hado to pick it up second round… he was a B fighter…

PS: my back hurts… yesterday there was a soccer tournament in my job… i play goalkeeper and yesterday i received a powerful tackle in my back… video capturer arriving nexte thursday!..

Gief vs Shotos is really hard form them. Especially Ken. What you can do is throw SMART fireballs. And anti air the vast majority of his jumps. Also, with Ryu, Far Hk is an amazing too against Gief, but use it wisely.Try not to play footsies against him, solely because his buttons are so much better.
As for those Mishimas, learn which way you need to block. Against Kazuya, for the most part you need to block high, and block low on reaction to his crouching attacks. Jin has a few mids, but nothing that you can’t learn. Heihachi, for me, is the best out of the three. Jin beats him in terms of frame traps and Kazuya beats him for damage, but his mix up game is so superior, IMO.

As for football, did you see Ibrahimovic’s goal against England? :eek:

While it’s main use is keeping the opponent on their toes with their blocking, Ryu has 2 ways to combo off it.

  1. Tag cancel the first hit, it’s safe on block and the incoming can continue the combo if it lands.
  2. f+mp > st.lp xx st.mk xx manual launcher. You can technically cancel the lp into launcher for less scaling but I would recommend keeping the mk as a hitconfirm incase you drop the 2f link. (note, the f+mp > st.lp link only works when it hits a standing opponent…so this one is kinda meh)

There’s no way to combo into f+mp except after a medium/hard jump-in or as part of a tag cancel (but why anyone would want to do f+mp after a tag is beyond me).

heihachi is the trickiest of them, does he have a big damage output?.. of course I saw it!.. that’s why soccer is exciting…

good ideas… the first might give a new oportunity to switch charaters… and it´s safe… regards the second one: have tried on crouching opponents?..

PS: thanks so much for the help guys… i feel i have improved a lot in this week…

300 off a mix up is nothing to sniff at. Incredible goal!

Regarding that Ryu combo, I don’t believe it works on crouchers. I couldn’t get it to connect.

hi guys… hope you had a great weekend… nothing new with my online playing… saturday i dedicated myself to the trials… to my surprise i finished all Law’s trials and discovered it’s a great character!.. flashy and powerful stuff he has going on… definitively i´m going to ditch Ken… this week’s resolution: Learn Ryu/Law combos to get it on line…

Hopping on the bandwagon are you, Law is top tier which just about everything being safe. And with January coming, he’ll be god tier.

Welcome to The Way of the Cooking Dragon. You will absolutely have fun, the only thing Law lacks is an easy AA… and he’s getting that in v.2013 in January. :rock:

My weekend was lovely. As I’m sure you’re aware, Arsenal battered the scum 5-2!
Law is stupidly good character. And just like Ken, he brings a ton of synergy to must teams. I personally love his combo potential and frame traps.

i found him easy to play (i wanna beleive that i’m that good but it’s not the case)… i found a downside though: many of his combos require a bar… but the trade it’s worth it…

do you know of a good combo video?.. any advice on how to play with him?..

yeah but i’m a Manchester United fan… i have a question: what are frametraps?..

Norwich are good eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

Read this post, it’s highly informative.

This one seems pretty good to start off. Also recommend visiting the Law forums as there are much more dedicated Law players there than myself. I love the guy but my focus is on Juri. <3

Law is one of my anchors for her that I use for damage, as well as getting interesting mixups off of his Shaolin Spin Kicks. He has good team synergy, though he can be meter hungry when playing defensively.

hahahahaha… nice one… i’ll check it out…
