Good news. After too long in the training room I can do loops ever so slightly. Custom button layout, flipped my PPP & KKK buttons - now I just drum my 4 fingers downward and double tap HK from a cr.hp(Why has nobody ever thought of this? Makes shit mad easy). Call me cheap all you want but hey, it works. I’ll now start my life as a Chun main, time to read up on stuff, also I didn’t know cr.lk from all Hazanahu’s was at worst a 2f link, always thought it was a 1f…

Chun is godlike. I love this character.

1422

Oh yeah, also. Could someone brush up my footsie knowledge and her buttons in general? I’ve kinda set some buttons in stone at this point and I need someone to tell me why I’m doing things wrong. Here’s what I’ve been doing with her buttons -

Short/Jab -
General Pressure, tick throws/frame traps.

St.mp -
Probably her best button, I throw this out thoughtlessly a lot of the time, I also end confirms with it and follow up into H.Hazanshu a lot. Great at stuffing moves, brilliant for searching for any button presses.

Cr.mp - REALLY good counter poke. Can low profile a lot of moves, works wonders against Bipson for me.

St.mk - Anti-air. Ryu st.hk is an arsehole to anti-air as Chun as an FYI and makes me mad salty when I trade/lose to it.

F+MK - Anybody ever use this? It’s -2 on block and you score a cr.lk xx ex legs on counter hit. Seems alright, you’re +1 on hit so it seems like a good move that’s underused, it’s quite slow though I guess. Could offer some further range frame trap potential? St.lp - f+Mk could be good at the right range.

Cr.mk - this is my go-to counter poke, it’s quick reaches far and cancels into an ex fireball or ex legs. Also a brilliant link ender into a special. And a DECENT poke, but Chun doesn’t get much off of it in footsies so…meh. I prefer st.mp for it’s godlike hitbox/hurtbox. Cr.mk xx Hazanshu buffers are alright though I’ll admit.

St.hp - Good poke, good anti-air, good link ender. Solid button, I cant find any flaws with it. Use it primarily as a combo ended, sometimes as a poke. Or throw one out after I set-up a fireball to walk behind.

Cr.hp - punish tool. I either do one rep into sweep if possible or st.lp - st.hp

St.hk - I think this is sooo slow! I like it as a super far jump catcher but apart from that it sucks, it’s way too slow for me.

Cr.hk - Great sweep, not Balrog tier good but still REALLY strong just to throw out, space it and the opponent can’t do much. Can’t it catch Rose’s backdash? Looks like it might. If so that’s cash as fuck.

DF+LK - No idea. Heard it was great in Super but it’s kinda useless for me.

B.Mk - This whole target combo…thing. Is virtually never used by me. At all. I don’t like it, I’d rather land an EX legs into an ultra rather than this.

Cl.Hk -
Such a good frame trap tool…didnt know it was 4f! I love frame trap cl.hk - hazanshu.

Cl.hp -
Good button as well, but cl.hk is too good for me to wanna use this.

She has more more unique normals but I don’t use them enough. Someone help me my knowledge feels poor. I’m only averaging 2600pp with her atm, this is my week 1. Want to hit 3000pp by the end of the week. Main reason I lose is lack of aggression and anti-airing I’m sure of it. I’ll find a match and upload one soon.

1423

f+mk = ghetto stepkick and sometimes you can combos if it counterhits. Only use sparingly though.

b+mk (and the target combo) = still a good whiff punisher and you can add EX SBK or either Ultra for extra damage. I think I need to use it more, myself.

Far s. hk is good vs big characters and slow jumpers

df + lk = not gdlk as in Super but still a good anti air. U2 still follows up

1424

Not sure why you say that, you definitely need to hit fierce 2x to get it to hit twice. It’s actually harder to get 2 hits with nj. Not sure what you’re talking about. Like with diagonal you just double tap, but with neutral jump you have to time it like 1st hit has to land higher up to get the 2nd hit, and space between hits/button presses is longer.

1425

No from a N.jp you only need to hit punch once, the timing dictates if it hits once or twice, if jumping diagonally you press it twice but neutral its only a single press… Go test it :slight_smile:

1426

Yeah only one button press for nj

1427

Wow, you’re all right. I guess I double tap anyways, and that you can get just 1 if you hit it late, all this time I never thought 1 would work. Thanks for setting me straight on that.

1428

Who all is going to Evo?

Here are the only two Chun’s that I am aware of at the moment:
Valmaster’s Pool: http://evo2015.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssf4_b1.html
Lud’s Pool: http://evo2015.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssf4_d2.html
Broly’s Pool: http://evo2015.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssf4_a15.html
Infiltration (counter-picker, lol) http://evo2015.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssf4_d22.html

List yourself or post others you know.
Best of luck to all fellow Chun-Li players!!!

Iansanity’s in E9:

8AM pool RIP

1430

8 AM !? Dude that is perfect! rest up wreck some fools and kick back the rest of the day.
Best of luck Snak–ur—I mean Exvaris. I know you can make it out of Pool play
I think I know GoldenGlove in your pool, name seems familiar.

Wish guys like WiiWhippet and Skatan could make it stateside for EVO. HECK wish I could go and I like in the states! lol

Ian fighting Gustavo first fight!? dang, I’d like to see that match. That’ll be good!

1431

That’s not 801 Strider Gustavo, in case you’re wondering xD

1432

You are correct! lol
Yea I should have known better than that, just took the first glance.

Why no Nashfan though?

1433

Interestingly, I happened to be looking at my tournament line.

Assuming I make it out of pools in winners, I’d play against the winner of pool A7, which is likely to be 801Strider or Humanbomb.

If I make it out in losers, I play whoever got out in losers of A7, which is still likely to be 801Strider or Humanbomb.

Let’s gooooo

1434

I’d like to thank Valmaster for being such a god. For me there’s street fighter, and then there’s Valmaster. I like watching the European tournaments best because of him, the only pro player who can be relied on to play Chun in IV, and hasn’t moved to some derp character or counterpick character constantly. Go Valmaster!
