Strategies/Misc

Lets get things rolling? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
As most of us have no way to try anything out, speculation seems a good idea ;]
Dive Kick/Jump in, OS EX Lunge Punch, Ultra 1, Ex Shoulder.
I’m pretty positive this will punish backdash and Teleports and depending on invinciblity it may punish EX-Spinning Bird etc.

Yo I’m going to arcade UFO later on next week, they’re the ones on the front page who are getting ssf4 ae cabs, so I’ll be able to try stuff and test stuf out. I’ll be playing DJ, Yun, and Yang so yeah not just Yun. I’ll try and write up my observations, and test some stuff to help yall out and get some info out there.

6

Good stuff.

Anyone feel free to offer what they already know from what’s missing above and I’ll go ahead and fill it in.

7

i hope to main Yun in AE together with Fuerte. and since i’m in NY i’ll hit up CTF when AE drops and post my observations too.

8

Dive Kick (Raigekishuu): DF+K During forward or neutral jump.

Target combo 1: j.LP xx j.HP

Target Combo 2: c.MP xx c.HP

I’m quite sure that’s how it is, when looking at this.

9

Just a couple of useful bits of info.
Lunge Punch and Palm are Armour Breaking
EX-Palm can bounce juggle off the wall. (like gouken u2?)
When super is active it doesn?t add to stun.
EX-Lunge can combo into Ultra 1 (strict timing?) and Ultra 1 can combo into EX Shoulder.
His launcher(close standing forward) looks like a good AA (whith great combo potential)
He has a Super Jump :lovin:
And Dive Kick, Target Combo 5 (:lp:, :lk:, :mp:)to hp lunge does about 330 stun. (3 right guesses is all you need ;P)

10

Care to list the inputs on his specials too? I got really annoyed with the Tokido writeup because I had no idea what the moves were called.

I’ll probably have to bring a pocket notebook to the arcade with me when it drops in Toronto so I can remember his combos, haha.

11

Lunge Punch (Zesshou Hohou): QCF+P
Dragon Kicks (Nishou Kyaku): DP+K
Shoulder Slam (Tetsuzan Kou): DP+P
Palm (Kobokushi): QCB+P

12

loving this

13

@OP lol at the description:awesome parts of your thread, EPIC! I think you should add that his Senpukyakuu overhead crosses up a downed opponent

14

I’m quite sure Yun doesn’t have a high jump, the person who said so were probably mistaken. I just checked this, and Ibuki’s high jump is on her movelist. Yun doesn’t have one on his.

Ibuki’s movelist say: ???: :d: ???

??? = Hai jampu = High Jump.

15

Im hoping that ctf has AE, Im going to head there tomorrow after school to see if i can get my hands on yun. (im not sure if they have it yet.) but assuming they do is there anything some one would like me to test?.

16

Id be very surprised if Yun doesnt get his super jump back

17

check out the range on his focus attack, couldnt really make it out in the vids, I dont think its all that great though :confused:

also see if you can check what will combo off EX palm wall bound

18

I saw that you can cancel s.MK into s.MK during Genei Jin, so if you catch someone in the corner with it, try to repeat s.MK constantly until the time runs out. If he gets too high, you whiff s.MK, and he lands before you can do another one, try to jump cancel s.MK into a dive kick and do s.MK again, or throw a whiffed light move out and catch them with s.MK before they land.

Maybe you can do “s.MK xx c.LP (whiff) -> s.MK xx c.LP (whiff) -> s.MK xx c.LP (whiff) etc” or something like that. Basically, any simple loop you can find with Genei Jin, because that stuff is good to know if you get an unexpected opening.

At the start of this video it appears c.mp, c.mp s.lk lunge is possible and it does a good amount of damage too.
[media=youtube]m6Es1qwusls[/media]
Can anyone confirm what the combo is at 0:13? is it TC4 without the last :l::hp:
(also from this video Lunge punch looks safer than I thought it would be and his step palm :r::hp: looks like a good poke)

baha, I seen.

C.MP x2 xx MP HP Palm target combo.
