yes actually, this is pretty effective imo. Why let myself jump in or take risks in a match that would favor the opponent? ESPECIALLY blanka…hate that match so much.

wao ken starting at 5:52
Some real solid matches there.
Classic meaty hadoken into thunder kick trick, I love using that.
Good job man, only thing I noticed was the random jumping tatsu in some matches.
@ Wao videos
Why do you think wao loses so much to makoto?
Good makotos make you take a risk to get out of pressure, it’s like playing against a fast Gief with an uppercut that can lead to good legit damage. Can’t os sweep her backdash(literally have to hold forward on their wake up and predict the backdash to sweep her). She has good normals that trade/beat Ken’s jump ins AND ground normals plus her uppercut is even better in AE. Plus this Makoto is Haitani, one of the Five Gods of Japanese Street Fighter. Remember the name!
Lmao! Now that you mention it, I heard makoto cannot be safe jumped in AE? Since the hitbox is bigger, I wonder if the j.hp after forward throw still works on her… Damn we need AE on consoles.
thanks mate , love ur ken . abt the air tatsu ur right . i use it sometimes to increas my jump arc and hit them at the end just right before i reach the ground . but 5 times outa 10 i keep miss timing it . ;/ and what i have noticed is that its much easier on some characters than others . i can’t miss a jumping tatsue with giule for example!
I’m fairly sure you can OS her sweep from jump in’s in Super, you just can’t get her from grounded OS’es.
Apparantly you can’t cross-up Makoto in AE. She has no hit-box behind her fist? I am hoping that Ken’s cross-up fierce will whiff if she goes for her uppercut and this would allow us to OS sweep her. We’ll have to wait and see.
Maybe Joon or someone with access can try it out for us?
This would be cool because we could cover backdash AND DP with a single OS.
G.
Hmm, I’ll try it out on our makoto player here in Austin next time I’m at UFO. I only played him a few times but he’s still working her out so they weren’t full potential matches.
Wait, how do you OS sweep from a jump in? Educate me! ;
It’s similar to OSing a shoryuken or tatsu, Just hit the sweep at the moment your j.hp would hit. So the hit/block stun nullifies the sweep, and if he backdash, your sweep will come out. Very useful against rog and chunli too.
I double tap to guarantee it.
Ah, that’s what I thought but I’d rather here it from someone that’s actually used it. I’ll definitely give it a shot next time I’m at UFO.
Yeah.
OS sweep is very useful in the Chun and Balrog matches. I’ve quite literally muredered Chun’s in seconds if I can get a throw on her and do some jump in’s before she has time to build meter (not safe to OS sweep if she has meter for her EX bird kick).
I caught a Makoto with 4 OS sweeps IN A ROW yesterday. I got the feeling that the player thought I was just randomly sweeping and so he tried to forward dash and backdash 4 times before he decided to try and block the jump in instead. I was using the safe-jump FP against Mak and it works great (at the moment)!!
With True Safejump timing, you can OS sweep and block the reversal. Press the sweep late. It even works on 5 frame dps. Mess around with it in training mode and you’ll figure out the timing. You too Ikaru, training room is the best option in the main menu!
True.
I forgot all about that really.
In the main, I tend to do my OS’s too slow already, so it does always feel kinda weird when actually trying to slow it down slightly to avoid reversals.
Cheers GTF.
I been playing marvel also. Forgot yesterday. It’s addictive. Oh yea when akuma(SSF4 AE) does that far standing RH while I’m in the corner and he does super demon. Can you break out of that.
