i’m starting to pick him up since i got bored of a-groove and he and kyo are prolly the funnest character in the game.
it seems hard to mount offense on rock since hes such a skinny target and he has a good amount of anti airs:
-standing hk, which is almost as good as vegas, better in some cases, worse in others
-c.hp
-c.mp
-rising tackle
-crack counter
-j.lk/j.mk
-raging storm
heres some rock gimmicks/tricks i like to use:
low jump hk option tree:
if they are gonna stick something out:
-deadly rave
-teleport into command grab
-raging storm if you think they’ll jump
-crack counter (risky)
if they do nothing:
-another low jump hk
-empty low jump
-command grab
-throw
-c.lk into whatever
-overhead?
my favorite gimmick:
elbow dash into deadly rave. hella gimmicky but damn, it feels good when you land it.
How would I deal with C-Guile? That sonic boom is really annoying. I try JDing his attacks after the boom, but my timing is off sometimes. The same problem arises when I try jumping over it (anticipating a flashkick). Should I just work on my JD timing? Should I try to bust through the boom with a double reppuken? Try a crack counter after JDing the boom?
yes. step the JD timing up. 1st of all, all charge characters are basically turtlers so keep that in mind.
if guile throws a slow sonic boom do not do double reppuken unless it’s the fast version. any slow firebally guile throws he will have the advantage. you want to throw him out of his charge times. learn how to JD his c.HP AA, somersault, and whatever weird normals or jumping normals he throws out. you could bait out dbl. reppuken and take the risk to counters it’s only gonna be mid or low, choose your opponets options wisely, imean very wisely.
Alright guys, I use K-Rock and I need to know how to play against Tier whores such as Blanka and Vega.
My brother uses Blanka, he’s always poking and jumping around and poking to get closer, once he gets close, he throws me before I can throw him, because I’m blocking or tryna get away. Blanka’s crossups are ridiculously rigged and always gets me too. It’s annoying, and I need to know what to do.
As for Vega, he just pokes a lot, turtles for a while and then plays aggressive after. Mostly pokes. I need to know what to do against characters with cheap pokes.
