If you’re jumping on Oni, you should be predicting a poke or a fireball. J. Rh is better because you can hit them while you’re higher in the air and he’s still recovering
Ive been looking at alot of things with this thread today and nothing for Cammy players. I will say what I will say tho.
Against Cammy: I honestly think this matchup is 5-5. Its really tough for a Cammy player to get in Sakura at all. Most of her special moves are punishable so Sakura players should use this to their advantage. Also, Trip Cammy as much as possible to get in. None of Sakura’s normals beats Cammy’s Normals. Highly recommend that. Cammy will have U1 so watch for it when you are throwing FBs. Don’t jump on Cammy. Cammy has a strong DP. I believe there’s a cross up to make her whiff it but it’s safe for Cammy so just don’t do it. If you have a Cammy player in the corner, Cammy is FUCKED!!! You can do almost whatever you want with her but be careful, she will try and get out and when she do, then the tables has turn in her favor. This is why I think the match is 5-5. Corner Pressure is a bitch both ways.
how do I aa cammy? if she does a dive kick chp whiffs and I die.
Trying to AA dive kicks is risky business, you want to delay the cr.hp a bit. I generally try to FA and/or backdash.
I’ll have to agree with that. Cammy can Dive kick in many heights. I usually like to wait for it and DP to catch her in the act. If I don’t catch her, I usually EX Backdash it. I know it wastes meter but It’s sometime a risk that you have to take with that. Cammy’s Dive kicks are Very Dangerous.
How do you deal with Guy’s meaty flip elbow/grab? If you crouch you get hit, stand you get scooped, and if you backdash you get scooped also. Can’t AA it because it’s meaty. I don’t get it.
Not sure if this has been posted yet but for anyone else having problems with HP Shouken whiff on punishing Honda Headbutt I’m pretty sure I figured out the cause of this. You can’t be moving backwards before blocking or while hes doing the headbutt. Basically if you react to it by blocking when hes close to you and not moving you will be able to punish. If your moving backwards and block it then it will whiff.
Also just wanted to note that on Rufus’ wake up you can do cr.hp -> lk tatsu -> cr.mp -> lk tatsu and its completely safe from ex messiah. If he does ex messiah on the cr.hp it will whiff over you for a free punish, and if he does it on the cr.mp it will whiff over you again. Great way to apply tatsu pressure.
Nice finds!
Just to add to this, when it whiffs (1st hit connects, the rest whiffs leaving you open to punish), you can fadc that HP shouken into cl.hp. So this gives a viable punish at the cost of 2 bars, I know it’s expensive but it’s something to make them stop chipping away at Sakura with HP headbutt, I’m not sure if MP is punishable by Sakura, can anyone confirm?
Yeah MP is punishable. I just tested it today
Against Rose and Cody on their wake up you can use cr.lp -> s.lp (os with backdash) for clean safe pressure and easy hit confirm. This makes soul spiral and zonk knuckle whiff and although these are punishable on block this removes the options for them to FADC and allows you to punish. Motion is pretty easy to OS too after a bit of practice.
oh my god I love you
The feeling is mutual bud! ahha <3… Also just wanted to note that cr.mk - hp shouken is the most reliable punish for this, if you try to jump in and they don’t do the messiah ender they will be able to block in time
Anyone?
Not to say for 100%, but wouldn’t focus backdash be ok since it lowers your hitbox (making it harder to be grabbed) and it’ll absorb his elbow?
Hey guys. Could you give me some pointers against Adon? I have a hard time crouch teching against him. He does a crossup, c.Lk, c.Lp, throw, and he goes trough my crouch tech and he throws me. Should i use a different normal to crouch tech? It seems that he can go through my anti airs pretty easily. Croching fierce is a viable option against him?
s.hp may be a more viable AA there
You’re just crouch teching at the wrong time. You’ll figure it out. The normal you use doesn’t matter, but it’d probably be stupid to use anything else.
Legend: I think you’ll still get scooped… But it’s something to try. Someone here has to know for sure though…
How in Lord Bhudda’s name do you beat T.Hawk, her fireball is ass and he can punish it with that fucking dive and if he gets in you die pretty much instantly, I keep hearing about how bad T.Hawk is but I can’t even touch the motherfucker!
