i’ve been playing cvs2 for quite sometime, but i dont really know my matchups well. hopefully you guys can help me (and anyone that else that needs it) out and post any bad matchups that you know, and how to take full advantage of it. i’ll start off with the few i know. if im wrong about these, please correct me, as im not that good with matchups in the first place anyways.
Vega vs. Yamazaki
yamazaki can’t do much here. poke at yamazaki with full range c.:mp: or c.:mk: if in range. or just run the fuck away. he can’t do shit about that either. it’s pretty easy to harass yama with jumpins with vega too.
Vega vs. Geese
imo it’s pretty much the same as yamazaki. geese can’t do much from the c.:mp: range.
Vega vs. Ryo
a funny matchup that happend when i was playing against ryo on xbox live. basically just run the fuck away. if you’re in c groove this fight is next to impossible for ryo. (airblock all his uppercuts) jump over any fireballs he throws at you. continue to run the fuck away and do your standard vega pokes sparingly. (don’t wanna get psychic dp’d)
well…he used the term “airblock” for one of the matchups, so he probably means the vega that is used often in c-groove. he also said “standard vega pokes.” he also said “full range c.mp,” which should be a clear sign that he’s talking about…THE POLICEMAN
I’m gonna assume you’re talking about the spanish vega.
In which case, if he’s in range, yamazaki should spam roundhouse. Geese should spam sweep or c.mk.
I don’t use Ryo, cuz he sucks.
yamazaki s.:rh: vs. vega d.:mp: =yama stuffed
if you’re playing against a good vega it doesnt matter if you’re in range, you will be stuffed or out of range in the first place (“run the fuck away”). not to mention vega’s c.:mp: has a 4 frame startup, while yama’s kick has 9.
geese c.:hk: vs. vega d.:mp: = geese stuffed
geese’s sweep has a fat ass hitbox (as his body is so fat an attempted trip guard can be hit ON HIS LEG, its a fat leg). which means that it can get hit with a whole shit load of stuff vs. vega. not safe to throw out for fun. do you know how many frmaes a whiffed sweep has? 6/4/35. THIRTY FIVE WHIFFED. that’s more than half a second. it might as well be a million years. vega now has a choice of c.:mp::mk::hk: on your fat leg. and im pretty damn sure his c.:mp: outranges you in the first place anyways.
geese c.:mk: vs. vega pokes = you’re kidding right?
using this move close up will push geese out with 2 hits. now what? you gonna try the sweep? not to mention vega’s own c.:mk: can push you out. from far away u can’t even whiff it very safely. a random c.:mp: will go right over your hitbox and into your face.
whatever though. the point of this thread isn’t to get past the difficult matches, it’s to EXPLOIT THEM as much as possible. made the thread in hopes that i could use the info here to be some sort of counter character whore, and maybe help someone else do so too. so let’s try to keep on topic.
agreed. i just pointed it out because this vega vs. ryo is a horribly unbalanced fight, and funny to play too . people would get frustrated and drop on me :rolleyes:
you suck. but seriously man, take it in context… :xeye:
um, i don’t think vegas low strong fully extends at 4 frames… I think it’s the close part of it thats cancellable that is 4 frames. but yeah, vega is cheap.
Eagle is good against cheap ass guile cause you can jump at him all day.
Eagle owns Blanka for free. just about every normal eagle throws beats any of blanka’s normals for free. eagle’s jp.rh can cross up a blanka…the list goes on.
Geese can walk in and out of vega (claw) cr.mp range to bait it out and mid counter. “pathetic!” well, sorta works, at least makes them less likely to spam cr.mp. Geese still has his godly cr.fp anti-air vs vega, so it isn’t all bad.
not like it seems like anyone cares about this character…
but i think maki’s bad matchups are yama(any groove except A),sagat(if it’s K maki)/A-bison(A-bison counters everyone >_<). that’s it. she can hang better with the rest of the cast.
i only said A-bison cuz maki has a hard time landing her super since she needs to either setup into 720(which is hard cuz bison can fly all over the place) or combo into kick super(which is hard if bison doesn’t stay grounded or doesn’t RC PC out of the corner all day.
i think the match favors bison, however, it’s kind of like how honda gets countered by vega/hibiki. it requires a lot of turtling and a LOT of work, so in a way honda still has a good chance at winning.
same goes for maki, if bison doesn’t do anything stupid and just builds bar, smart rc Pc(or just super jump out of the corner). there’s not much maki can do…imo. but that’s kind of what A-bison can do against everyone. :xeye:
EDIT:
jesse counters keni,paulee,nam, david, and eugene.
ken i, paulee, name, david, and eugene counters me. :tdown:
I don’t mean to go off topic, but since you guys are talking a little randomly… You’re not “Mai Shiranui” on those god awful Gaia forums are you? If not, then I apologize, but a pity you can’t dress yourself up as a pretty girl on this website huh?
no i’m not.
it’s “shiranui mai” thanks :tup:
and it’s not like i can’t change my srk avatar ^^
use pm’s next time so we dont’ get warnings from “the furher”
and i still don’t see why bison is a bad matchup for maki. you said it yourself about your matchup at evo, 720 setups are risky and inconsistent, so rely on comboing into kick super instead for more damage anyway. and maki’s AA game shuts down bison’s jump ins big time, so a bison that doesn’t stay grounded shouldn’t be too much of a problem. and maki can tiger knee her off the wall jump move to get in against yama if he doesn’t have a level 2/isn’t raged since his normal AA game is spotty. and her far standing rh beats his jumping mk. and i don’t know why K-maki in particular does poorly against sagat. maybe elaborate on all the matchups more in the maki matchups thread, because nobody cares about maki anyways.
WTF??? Vega does well…it’s not a rape, though. Chun is tough, but isn’t rape worthy. Kim does well against a lot of characters, and his counters are characters that most people will never use.
you obviously havent seen a good A-Ken. It’ll rape anything. Even sagat. Even honda. Even Sak. Even Bison. Even Maki. Even Eagle. Even King. Even Chun. Thread locked.
. people would get frustrated and drop on me :rolleyes:
