Only a few things that bug me, your block strings were too predictable. Was pretty much always c.LK > c.LP > c.MK xx Hadouken, need to mix it up a bit. I saw you win a round with Light Shunpuu link but you ended with a Light Shou? Even though you won the round it still begs the question as to why? Also think you should cut back a bit on EX Hadoukens, they’re not all that useful and that’s one less EX Shunpuu you’ll be able to do
Another thing, mix-up your mix-up game You were always using j.HK, guess that’s fine if you want damage but doing the grounded s.LP (maybe) dash-under trick or j.LK as well keeps things fresh and (hopefully) adds more confusion to your opponent.
You also missed a Super cancel off a Shou combo in the last match I guess you were saving meter for EX Shunpuus but that’s a rather big bit of extra damage you’re missing out on. I wonder what people think about it, I know eiSH likes to Super cancel off a c.MK xx Shou counter-poke
Yay! I take it you read my comment on your youtube page? I’m snazzyechoman. We both subsribed to each other. I’ll add you tonight. I hope one day I can get a replay worthy of being recorded to your site. Why don’t you do like I do and just set up a standard camera? Most camera’s nowadays have video record on them.
Lol that we both have the _- thing in our PSN tag!
I don’t own a camera. Got a pretty decent camera on my phone so I use that for taking snaps. It does video too but i dunno how it would turn out and I don’t know how the hell I would mount it.
Anyway, add me on PSN but I’m pretty sure you’ll stomp me into a hole in the ground
Edit: just ordered the leads I need so maybe next week you can see some of my shitty matches haha
1)It’s kinda funny, because I know good and damn well how to mixup block strings, but in my mind I was thinking “C.MK IS THE ONLY THING THAT’S REACHING HIM”, and then that lead to doing c.mk -> hado all the time, which lead to me getting my ass ex SBK’d into the corner. Thank you for pointing that out though, I really didnt even think of that after watching the vids myself
Winning a round with light shou, I would say “Oh I was just messing around and wanted to lp shou -> mp shou”, but really, I just didnt look up there
Nods at EX Hado comment I can go with that.
j.RH resets: I just started doing that ( i used to use j.lk ALL THE TIME when I wanted a reset), but when we recorded these matches, I didnt know you had to buffer the dash to get under. I kept trying to land and THEN dash. So yeah, it’s not like I wasnt trying, just hadnt worked that out yet. thumbs up got that fixed though, boss. Thanks for pointing it out.
Shou -> Super = pretty good. I personally just have this thing about dumping my whole metter and then turning around and needing an EX. In retrospect, it’s chun, I shouldnt be that worried about it. >.>
Thanks for the feedback though, really do appreciate it!!
The one thing I did take away from that night immediately is my inability to look over at my opponents superbar to see how many stocks they have. I mean, I’ll do it on ryu for the blatently obvious, but for some reason, chun having 1 bar didnt click in my head to not jump, or realistically just not fuck up the entire time. And I kept getting cut for it.
But yeah, i’m still open to feedback, good or bad from anybody.
Pretty good for March times! I didn’t even know there was an SF4 at that time and this guy was already doing the hard links and dash ultras! How come Destin doesn’t say much here now? AS busy as Sabre?
Are you kidding me!? This is a really bad day for me. Two topics closed, a warner and a infraction and now this! … But I’ll bounce back… as I always have.
From what I’ve noticed j.HK reset gives you barely any time on the ground, can forget cross-under if they like to spam c.LP Then j.LK but still gives you enough time to be meaty enough to stop any spammage (but seems easyish to escape just by jumping?). Then finally s.LP/c.LP seems to give you the most time for setting up a cross-under.
Personally I pretty much always go with the s.LP reset, level of people I play against just don’t see it coming most of the time j.HK in the corner is nice as it’s pretty ambiguous.
Could be, it does look pretty cool too :tup:
I believe he’s given up on Sakura but he does pop in on his own thread.
Well it’s unlikely you could pull that combo off consistantly anyways With Ryu you can do instead:
j.HK > s.MK xx LK Shunpuu > s.HP xx LK Shunpuu > s.LK xx EX Shunpuu > whatever
But it does less damage than just doing an s.HP xx EX Shunpuu after the first LK Shunpuu (not sure about stun)
Well, I went and screwed around with some stuff after those vids, because j.HK reset was getting on my nerve cause I liked the damage but was mad that I couldnt cross under.
Come to find out, you can actually dash under and block anything just fine, reversal SRK included, but you have to buffer the dash instead of doing it when/after you hit the ground. (I dont if that’s what you mean by forgetting the crossunder due to opponent doing c.lp)
j.LK is still off the chain in my books as you get to actually walk and whatnot, so at any given time you can stop and actually not cross under (we all know this one).
s.lp nods
Now, what I messed with last night and like is j.LP. I forgot who mentioned it, but you can do j.LP like, basically ANYTIME before they hit the ground and you have enough time to land, cross under, and meaty. Also sets up nicely for crossup j.LK. It’s pretty beastly as a reset option. I wouldnt call it the best for damage reason, but definitely worth considering imo.
Yeah I meant that after the cross-under you try a ground combo, there’s not really any point it just blocking unless they’ve proven themselves to be DP mashers j.HK > dash under > combo gets stuffed by c.LP spam Then again, if you’re playing the kind that likes spamming c.LP/c.LK it makes vertical jump reset a good option Cross-under only works on the non-big characters from what I understand.
Again the walking under with the j.LK is character specific if I remember correctly but I’ll have to have a play around with that.
Okay guys so this is where I am so far. These are some of the better video from last nights bout.
I’m happy to receive any feedback. I have not left any annotations. Just judge what you see and I will respond to your comments. It doesn’t matter which of the 8 videos you comment on.
Bloody hell Abel spam, I don’t really know what to do about those since they’re pretty uncommon. Jumping and Focus Attacks are generally a bad idea as the Cartwheel Kick spam takes care of those
I wonder if c.HP can take care of cartwheel kicks… thinking, no
If he wants to run away the whole time let him, chip him to death with Hadoukens, don’t think those cartwheel kicks can go full screen but be careful of Ultra.
That Bison match at the end he kept spamming those headstomps, if they’re not EX you can meet him in the air with v.j.MK or jumping away j.MP methinks.
You can get more damage off those dizzies as well, FA3 or jump-in before your combo.
there were so many times i said oh here comes a combo… but then there wasnt one. i saw ken wiff so many srk’s, mainly lp srk’s and u really never punished him, then i would see u get like a s. hp off but then nothing. i would just say punish more and harder and dont grab after they wiff a srk. but i will say u did very well with the cr forward to the dp. i didnt see u wiff it so thats awesome lol. oh and the kara taunts are amazing 8P
Thanks guys:
Sugami - I’m not sure whether to do FA3 or not these days after dizzy cos someone told be I would do better getting a quick reset combo in because of damage scaling, but I should at least do a jump in.
Codallen - I was trying a lot of c.hp>lk tatsu>s.lk stuff so I usually ended up mashing and only C.hp comes out cos I’m not used to it. And thanks, I have been practicing the kara taunt lol
Pat aka thesakurakuma - I didn’t record my wins on you either lol! I don’t upload player match only champ mode
You were always using j.HK, guess that’s fine if you want damage but doing the grounded s.LP (maybe) dash-under trick or j.LK as well keeps things fresh and (hopefully) adds more confusion to your opponent.
Cross-under only works on the non-big characters from what I understand.
