Hi guys, I’ve been using E. Ryu for about a week and wanted to contribute a confirm able way to hit Ultra II after Fireball FADC. Overall I spent 6 or so hours testing every character and here’s what I have come up with so far:
E. Ryu’s fireball, when dash cancelled via FADC can give enough frame advantage to combo into Ultra II, it is a simple matter of spacing one’s self correctly to do so. Recently I have been working on spacing setups to allow a full animation Ultra II to combo after a fireball FADC, both for standing and crouching opponents. It is
important to note that these combos are highly character specific because they utilise the opposing character’s hit animations in order to combo. As such, some will be easy to combo more so than others
From being as close to the opponent as possible the combo that achieves optimal spacing is:
===============================================
||Cr.Jab, Cr.Jab, Cr.Jab, Cr.Strong xx Jab Fireball FADC Ultra II||
This combo inflicts 270 stun and 367 damage with a full Ultra meter. Requires 2 EX meters to FADC. You can achieve point blank spacing with E. Ryu Dive Kick, If you begin a combo with the Dive Kick it will inflict the same damage (367).
Note during testing, I did not use the Dive Kick to start the combo, instead I walked as close as possible to the opponent and began with Cr.Jab. This method works on the following standing opponents:
Honda
Gouken
Akuma*
Gen
Dan
Oni
Yun
Chun Li*
M.Bison (Dictator)
Dee Jay**
Hakan***
Yang
Blanka
El Fuerte
Fei Long
*Akuma and Chun Li can also be combo’d so long as the first Cr.Jab is Cr.Short instead(Cr.Short has less pushback).
**You can combo Dee Jay with 2 Cr.Jab instead of 3.
***You must combo Hakan with a Fierce fireball instead of Jab fireball.
This works on the following crouching opponents:
Ryu
Ken
Seth
Gouken
Gen
Dan Sakura
Yun
Juri
Chun Li
Dhalsim
C. Viper
Sagat
Cammy*
Cody**
Yang
Evil Ryu
Zangief***
El Fuerte**
Vega (Claw)****
Fei Long***
Adon
Rose***
*You can combo Cammy with Cr.Short, Cr.Jab, Cr.Strong xx Jab Fireball FADC Ultra II.
**You can combo Cody & El Fuerte with 2 Cr.Jab instead of 3.
***Will only combo so long as the first Cr.Jab is Cr.Short instead.
****Vega can only be combo’d after a deep dive kick.
Through collection of the above results, the following are vulnerable to this combo both crouching and standing:
Gouken
Gen
Dan
Yun
Chun Li
Yang
El Fuerte
Fei Long
Adon
While it didn’t work successfully on:
Ibuki
Makoto
Dudley
Guy
Abel
Guile
Rufus
Balrog (Boxer)
T.Hawk
The Pros of using this combo:
- Hit confirm able
- Hits from Crouching or Standing positions.
- Higher damage (397) than Shoryuken FADC Ultra II.
- More meter efficient than EX Fireball FADC Ultra II.
Cons:
- Character specific.
- High level execution.
- Correct spacing.
Edit: After further testing I found I could combo standing Ryu with a Dive Kick, Cr.Jab, Cr.Jab, Cr.Jab, Cr.Strong xx Jab Fireball FADC Ultra II. This leads me to believe that the characters I did not list on the standing list can still be combo’d but only from a Dive Kick.
