Lets try to compile a list of all the important moves that can only be punished by a Shippu.
First off, the Shippu is Ken’s Super in this game, and comes from SF3 and the VS Series. Its defining feature is its good damage, sitting at 300, good comboability, and starting up in only 2 frames allows it to punish anything thats -2. Not quite a Final Atomic Buster, but still useful.
An important thing to remember when punishing -2 moves is to be ready for them, activate Jinrai as a reversal, and make sure you are in range. Just because Dhalsim’s move in -2 doesn’t mean you can punish it if hes full screen. Remember that Shippu costs 2 bars and is -19 on block, so make sure you comitt to punishing a move before throwing it out there.
Another thing to consider is doing an Alpha Counter and Tag canceling instead on punishing with Shippu. Ken’s lucky to have his DP as an alpha counter, while quite a few other characters dont have Alpha Counters they can combo after, so use this well. If you have the timing, this could be a better option, but its nice to know what shippu punishes as well.
So far, I have typed things that are punishable by HP Shoryu as well as things that are punishable by Shippu. If a move cant be punished by both, it’ll be marked.
