I like that Gief write up, Golbez. Some good shit I need to add to my game in there!
As for Sim, you wanna find his rhythm. Does he hit with two c.fierces in a row after you block one? If he does that consistently, mash lp SRK when you’re blocking the first c.fierce. Does he like to throw a poke after you kara focus fish for a limb? If so, kara focus dash, then lp shoryu. You wanna get him afraid of throwing pokes at you so you can walk forward more.
You have to be bold and kara focus. It pays off. And, since Sim does no damage anyway, it’s not too bad if you take a few hits getting in. From full screen, I’ll usually throw hados and lp srks to build meter for EX Tatsu. It’s pretty easy to EX Tatsu yoga fires from full screen.
If they like to jump back j.Fierce a lot, MP shoryu that shit. Again, if you mess up, the damage you take isn’t TOO bad (but of course you can’t just sit around fucking up).
Try not to jump in too much. The Yoga Fire has such a tricky movement… you’ll end up jumping in to them a lot. Also, his AA normals are pretty good, though you can beat them with an early j.Fierce (Though I’m sure yoga flame beats that shit).
I usually mash jab when he tries to teleport, so I can hit him and air reset him. Then go for mix ups from there. If I was good, I’d mp shoryu the teleport.
For Seth, good luck… He’s my second worst match up, just due to not knowing it. If they spam j.fierce and standing fierce, Kara Focus that shit for for free. Release for the standing fierce and you’ll at least hit him with a level one and get a life lead. Dash forward and mp shoryu the j.fierce. Try and do the same for his wall dives, so he can’t pressure you with BS. I like to save two bars to shoryu FADC any tandem engine or his shoryu FADC bullshit… Aside from that, I don’t know what beats what. If they miss a lightning legs, though, you better c.mk xx tatsu his ass! That’s like 50% health right there.
