The Bad Matchups Thread

K Rock vs Blanka cHp = standing roundhouse. Mid counter works well if you’re at the right distance where he can’t punish you if you whiff. The only problem with standing roundhouse is that you get hurt if you whiff, or they slide instead of punch. Really, though, if you’re K Rock, JD everything…including RC elec

All i do is pretty much jd everything and try to make them make a mistake and punish. blanka beats him in everyway :sad:

can’t you sweep blanka if you jd his c.fierce?

what really kills me when i play against c/A blanka is

1-dash, rc elec/throw mixup cuz i get my mind set to jd pretty much everything to get a knockdown
2-wakeup super, wake up rc elec. since i i work hard to get my knockdown, it’s really gay when i get hit by this and have to repeat the process over
3-cmd hop back, bar building blanka. this is the strat i hate most. i can either elbow(qcb+p), small jump rh or run sweep for ground options…all of which i can get supered for being impatient. i can try to just jump and try to jd, but i’ve been fucked over by cross up rc elec when i jump, as well as j.fierce so many time.

my advice? hope you have good execution, cuz you’ll hate yourself if you miss your chance to land super. with K-rock you should be able to make some opportunity to get super in. i know it sounds vague, but it’s frustrating when you miss your 1st chance to land super, and you eat random c.fierce/rc elec here and there during the process of trying to get another chance for super.

when u in rage try baiting blanka balls bye throwing fireballs even if it hits u , u get a free super.

edit… U can hit c.hp after u jd it with sweep , and i found out that stand mk from rock beats blanka c.hp clean 100%. Dont spam it but it should stop those walking crouch hp.

Anyone know what C-Chun does about:

Yamazaki? Stand RH is just as annoying as Sakura’s stand RH, and it’s really hard to punish that with stand strong xx super since stand rh has such long range. Yamazaki also has a variety of anti-airs to stop Chun from crossing him up. This is one of my worst matchups.

Hibiki? I hate this bitch. Stand strong and c. jabs are like hitboxes. It’s really hard to get in, and even when you’re in, it’s hard to land that one strong or jab into super.

Then again, I haven’t played CvS2 in over a year, so if these sound stupid, I’m sorry.

Vega vs Mai is tough as hell, Vega seems to beat her on the ground, in the air, and j.rh beat her s.fp.

i saw a match where mai just rc’s a few times for damage and ran away the whole match and vega couldn’t catch up.

then again i’m pretty sure the guy never had a vega vs mai match before.

I play against my brother and we have vega vs mai matches alot of the times. Vega can catch mai if hes smart about it, espicially if he has a run.

Yeah, but what happens when my Vega plays your Mai or vice versa? Mai get her ass handed to her. Your brother isn’t good last time I checked either.

for k rock against blanka, is there anything you can do when you block a blanka ball? the only thing i can do is jd into hard edge or high counter it.

hmm, i thought about this a little more, and it might actually be more effective than i thought.

like…

do a fireball block string that’s not really safe

or throw it out randomly, and hope blanka does j.rh, c.short, s.jab xx blanka ball.

most people will go for the combo. free super(6k damage trade for 3k damage? something like that? not bad.)
