I’m also stuck in regards to dealing with Rufus, I got completely destroyed earlier tonight. EX Spinning bird kick would never knock him out the air. I know its early in the game, but I think she does need an anti-air buff.
I need a solution to this too.
I usually try to time their jump, jump towards them and use Target Combo (HP>HP). It’s risky and not a great anti-air 
Well it’s kind of risky to test but if the Rufus player is pressing buttons and not blocking after each blocked divekick you can mash cr. lp and it will connect. Then go into the combo of your choice.
so after a blocked dive kick i should mash cr. lp. i can see this working once or twice, but doing this throws you into a whole new mind game like will rufus ex messiah after divekick, or will he launch (and if he does another instant divekick, will this beat it)?
Like I said, it’s kind of a risky thing to do. Could work once or maybe twice. But probably isn’t a good idea against skilled players. It was just something I noticed that can be done. The only other thing I can think of is going air-to-air for a trade perhaps. Otherwise you got to block.

what are you supposed to do against dhalsim now that there’s no focus? I played a few games and I found it very annoying, he’s always pushing buttons from every distance with no risk and there’s not much I can do to stop him from doing that.
Don’t have the game yet, but played it with some friends and found Rolento’s pressure to be really annoying against Chun. A lot of it is probably because the game sit still new to me, but I had problems trying to find ways to keep him out of range to frame trap me.
For one, counter poke with Cr. Hk just like the SF4-Series and throw the heck out of HP kikoukens from afar. remember you can walk forward now and throw them as well.
you step in – He throws out a move – you block and throw LP kikouken and move in behind it. Full screen Super Arts on yoga fires are crazy. I didn’t even realise there is NO need to dash it as she travels so far so quick. Once you are in he’ll likely run away with teleports or try and cross you up. Just remember from SF4 to mash on Hk when he teleports and knock him out of it. These are just basic things to keep in mind each fight is different of course. Above all you get 99 seconds and a partner – get a life lead and sustain it.
As for Rufus:
St. Lp will knock him out of his dive kick but you don’t have many opitons for follow ups.
Anti Airing is proving difficult online, I’m not sure why but my A/A moves are pretty solid in SF4 but sub par on this game – seems like you get counter hit or trade or just flat out get beat out and eat too much, not enough reward for the risk, ya know?
But St. Hp and St. Hk work nice from a afar. He was a tough match for Chun in SF4 and even known there is no Focus Attack and dashing back on Rufus is kind of bad due to the angel of his dive kick AND unfortunately Chun’s Cr. Hk doesn’t seem to have the same qualities as SF4s you do have a few new tools. if he’s pressure your wake up with Dive Kicks just roll out and dash out from the roll to create space. He’ll come after you so be patient and zone – look for a quick poke to chain into a launcher and capatilize on the moment the best you can.
Aside from wanting to be a different beast despite the SF4 models, they def want to go for a more rush-down oriented game with the Tekken characters and the suckier AA’s/reversals. Same with the tech roll, do it right and you shouldn’t be as OS’d/safe jumped as often as you would in SF4.
Currently finding D/F Hk a good option on tech rollers.
it can come out one of two ways.
1 you are completely safe and you may kick one if their limbs – IF they a big enough character
2 if you do it just right you’ll actually cross them up and the window is so tight they’ll really have to be on their game to block it.
basically its like they just crossed under you so your kinda doing D/B HK
at any rate I can’t help but feel like I played this game 15-20 years ago. A lot of stuff that should work just doesn’t. I still like it but think SF4 is a better game
this game feels like 3rd strike and killer instinct had sex.
This game feels like CvS2 with the auto-double system from KI2, its good and fun (although I still haven’t invested any real time in it) I just find the “surface complexity” of it seems to be an attempt to hide the fact it lacks the flexibility of SF4. Though like I said I’ve racked up like 4 hours total or something so far lol… Busy with life, work and prep for a big (ish) tourney coming up this weekend
CVS2 is another one of those games I didn’t play much – pretty bumbed about that. I still have it on Xbox its like the EO edition of something
Guys, df.lk is her best AA in the game. even on trades, chun can juggle her AA to 250-300 damage. Vs Rufus dive kick, df.lk must be well timed. It gets pretty tough on wake up vs dive kicks, so learn the spacing on his cross up setups. I dont recommend EX SBK, it gets beaten pretty easily by Rufus. If you need help, lemme know.
I like st.mk then juggle with st.mp xx HSU but then I’ve not really tried that on Rufus but I imagine if you space it right (and AA’s with Chun are all about spacing) it’ll still AA him… Well time for me to actually play this game for a prolonged period of time… After all I’ve not spent any time on it lol
Air to air j.lk and j.lp are gonna be needed in a lot of matches, they are fast and sometimes you get a HK xx Hozanshu

I recommend EX SBK against Rufus dive kicks though…
… just the Alpha counter type though 
You can have them play a battle of attrition for every attempt to get in they take, and if you screw up you just Alpha counter and have them re-enter the gauntlet. Rufus jump-ins and divekicks are really easily alpha counterable.
Hey who’s better at zoning between chun li and poison? Considering a team switch for balrog

Chun-Li, by far. Poison’s projectiles have far more limited range and the recovery on them is awful.
Yeah I was noticing that.

What are Chun’s options against Vega? Every time I fight him, I want to put my fist through a wall.
Anyway, on the subject of match-ups, I believe Chun-Li has the advantage against Sagat. She can very easily punish his zoning game with Hazanshu and the range on her limbs lets her keep him out reliably.
