whats up guys havent been here in a while but i have a couple questions and maybe some of you guys can help me out on, now i know about some safe jumps with cody and been able to get some mixups but theres one situation where i do not know what to do
the combo i do is i get somebody with a standing HP to crouching MP to LK ruffian and its a untechable knockdown, what should i do after that? i dont know whats the best situation, i do the lk ruffian becuase its untechable instead of criminal upper but i honestly dont know what to do, usually i just crack kick in front of em land, either throw, ex bingo, or lk to criminal upper , is there a safe jump or a better option? zuku if you can give you opionion i would grealty appreciate it as you have helped me before
You can go for a well timed safe jump (nj. HP), adjust your spacing and go for a crossup (vs characters with 3f reversals), Do a meaty/counter-hit setup, or option-select them (vs backdashers)
The best choice depends on the type of player you’re facing. It’s up to you to make the right reads.
i think there is no fail-proof way to do one in this situation. you can do a s.lp, wait a tard, nj.hp to the safe jump melovegames mentioned, or delay it otherwise. so far no viable stalling move is known that makes this one easier.
There’s no normal you can whiff that will help with the timing of a safe jump after LK Ruffian. You simply have to inch forward a little then time it yourself, that s.LP into nj.HP is not a safe jump.
Also, there’s no safe crossup you can do after a LK Ruffian because it doesn’t knockdown for long enough to set one up. The one melovegames mentioned against 3 frame reversals doesn’t work because they can simply delay it and auto correct it.
now is there a better way to hit a meaty hit, im thinking of delaying a sec walking back and hitting crouching HP to ex rocks, i know i can walk up and hit f-mp for that one but i want to have something to set up that counter hit crouching fp, thats one think that my cody lacks thanks for the helpful tips
