Assuming they are in range for the whole thing, yes.
Is there any interesting combos for Ryu that are based off a fireball , FADC … fireball hit than you continue.
Also do you have some challenging combos or some interesting idea, I am kind of bored in the Dojo:)
On a side side note about combos and execution I change my p-linking execution for c.mp and c.mk and
its much more efficent.
For c.mp I use mp+ lk+ lp as usual but instead of hitting the buttons I kind of just caress them ( sorry cant find a better word)
The feeling is like grabing something very fast between you 3 fingers.
2 advantage to this new method: my fingers recover much faster and the p-link is much more solid input wise. With other method I tended to hit the 3 buttons at the same time because of hand placement.
Now for the c.mk I now use 3 fingers also . I use the 4 th finger for c.mk. I dont use the caress method to much for this one it seem a firm press of the button from an angle is better.
This method is most useful when doing the link c.mp , c.mp , c.mk , Tatsu ( or fireball)
Its a perfect continuation and blend well with c.mp p-link.
With this method it become hard to miss the above combo that I was kind of struggling with
Give it a try and see if you like it
My favorite FADC combo is F+hp, c.hp xx fireball xx fadc, c.mp, c.hp xx srk. Corner only. Outside of the corner, pretty sure just sweep, srk, or c.mk xx hk tatsu work.
i dont know if somebody mention it already but you can actually combo after his overhead with a srk but the timing is really really strict
Standing only.
I know you wanted to contribute. Sadly, this is repeated constantly by people with the unfortunate omission of the fact that it doesn’t work if they’re crouching. That one detail makes all the difference.
c.mk xx fireball , FADC, c.mp , c.hk is an interesting possibility mid screen vs big character if c.mk didnt connect to far.
I was wondering for Ryu is there spot where you should use Focus into a combo ( not focus cancel)
Any idea for a really challenging combo, something I wish had a camera If I did it.
Try doing c.mk xx fireball, focus crumple, c.mp, c.hp xx fireball, focus crumple, full U2.
Thx I will try,
I didnt know we could link U2 out a focus crumple. Inst it a fair way to link it
Edit: I dont even know how I am supposed to focus crumple out of c.mk xx fireball …
Can you tell me how
If you use ultra 2, focus crumple is how you’ll usually land it.
Ok but how can I focus focus crumple from a c.mk xx fireball.
I can crumple opponent if I hold Focus long enough but I cant make it combo with the c.mk xx fireball.
this works? for some reason i thought ryu’s level 2 took too long. i will have to try this out…
It shoulnt work , otherwise everybody would be using ultra 2
You guys are probably right. I vaguely remember doing it in vanilla. Just thought it sounded like a nice combo.
I have a combo challenge for you:
J.hp, c.lk, c.lp, c.mk xx fireball, FADC, c.mp, c.hp xx fireball, FADC, c.mp, c.mp, c.mk xx fireball xx Super
Its a 17 hits combos. Do it on a big hit box character like Blanka
i’ll try it, but you are using too much super meter when you add that super at the end. but it’s probably good practice for super after cr.mk :).

Especially the last item about focus attacks.
The point of my combo was to make it more difficult, Lets burn those EX bar, its unlimited in the DoJo:)
If you have some challenging combo on your own let me know I am looking for a challenge.
Thx for the link Theli, it was an interesting read.
I was a good reminder not to forget to use Raw Ultra
in certain spot. We get so use to comboing it that
the ‘beginner’ can be forgotten.
Good reminder also of not forgetting that an
oponent doing a attack in the air that dosent
connnet cant instand gard when he reach ground
and can be therefore punish.
The most interesting part as Theli point about
is about the Focus attack.
He recommand 2 things vs people who try
to focus your jump in attack.
1: do your attack as closed as the ground as possible
and follow with a SRK
2: do you attack and back dash
I will have to try if these work but I was under the
impression that oppponent always has a gap
where he can released his focus attack between
the jump in attack and the SRK .
I am a little septical because I dont see any
Japanesse players do those 2 tecnics ( or I miss it)
Most of the time they choose to block.
How can we explain this…
vs a Focus attack on the ground, lately The Focus
has been hitting me badly between my c.mk xx
and my fireball. I dont know if this is because
my c.mk hit with the tip of it or its just real good
timing on opponent part. Of course with lag Focus
sometimes seem to have no start up frames 
Myabe I should use more c.mk xx ex fireball vs
Focus attack. I wonder also how useful is
the c.mk xx Shoryuken and how far it touch
in most situation vs Focus attack .
Sometimes I use Tatsu when I see a Focus ,
its seem like an interesting option but
oftentime opponent has time to back dash.
I use a lot of Ex Fireball when I see a Focus.
Perhaps I should use more Raw Ultra also, dont
know if normally opponent has time to back dash
Would appreciate your tought on the subject
guys can you help me with a couple of frame traps? i just noticed today CR.lp walk like one tiny step and then cr.mp works really well against rufus, because it seems if you time it right you frametrap him if he does ex messiah he hits you like 3 hits then it whiffs i also saw daigo vs ricky ortiz look at 7.43 after the J.hp daigo does the walk “tinystep frametrap” cr.mp and it whiffs, what do you guys think?
Apparently it does work. I just did it on Honda (crMP, crMP>FB,FA-lvl2) after watching a combo video from BiffoTasty where he did it vs THawk… Only works in the corner tho. It’s probably character specific. Im gonna try it on Balrog next to see if it works.
pieton: I have seen japanese players do it. And the math of the counter for anti-air focus seems to make sense. 4 frames of inability on landing is relatively small compared to the start-up of focus attacks in general.
Focused c.mk XX hado getting tagged is something I’ve been thinking about. It seems to depend on how soon you connect the c.mk against the charging focus. Even a level one focus has a bunch of charge frames to go through before the startup of the focus attack can begin. If you can connect the c.mk before the charging time has reached the minimum it needs, you can usually cancel into hado for a punish. EX hado is a frame faster, so may save you against some characters.
Ultra to punish a nearby focus is usually effective. There may be a few chars that can backdash safely. (Such as chun-li, of course.)
xXMonkeyDLuffyXx: In the video you mentioned, it looks like it might be c.mp. But I’m not sure. Yeah, some hitboxes exhibit odd properties. c.lk is the usual normal for the rufus EX messiah situation.
