The Guy Q&A Thread: Post your questions here!

@Shin_Akuma_- you’re doing it the hard way that way. do qcfx2 2k then 3k. do the armor glitch on U2 is more difficult… but on U1 it’s pretty easy. basically just double tap the 2K then 3K really fast after the motion input.

@ liluoke

according to what you said, im going to go ahead and say that your problem is this:

"but i find myself having trouble getting that close, since when I am playing footsies trying to land a st.mp->st.hp "

ive said this many times before, Guy is NOT a footsie based character. dont try and footsie with him. he gets beat by most the cast when it comes to footsies. Guy’s big strength lies in the fact that he can apply huge pressure, and he can get the opponent to the corner pretty fast (where his pressure is even better). what it breaks down to is getting in your opponents face, and applying some solid pressure. Guy has PLENTY of options to get in. watch some videos, learn how to get in on what characters (matchup thread), and learn how to mix up your pressure applications. sorry, i usually type pretty detailed posts, but my fiance is bugging me to make lunch lol. if you have any specific questions i can answer them a little bit later on today

k ima try it in training

That just might be the reason I 've been getting it off occasionally. I don’t use macros when I play Super, so I press all the buttons for kick instead of one button. Anyway this explains alot. Thanks

using 3K and 3P is illegal in many tournaments. i just turn both of those buttons off and hit all three kicks / punches at the same time.

^^same here… i turn off the extra buttons just in case i might accidentally bump one of them and taunt or something…especially if i’m on a friend’s stick that has sanwas in it. i didn’t even realize some people map their buttons for 3P or 3K to a single button until not too long ago.

I don’t know. Before it was banned, now for some reason it’s allowed. Mainly in Tekken. Also the game has it already mapped to it’s default button. Anyway, since you told me the secert to excuting “armor ultra”, my consistency has risen dramatically. It very useful when you’re in block stun.

Can anyone give me any tips on EX Run armor cancel xx Ultra 2? I haven’t been able to pull it off at all. I’ve tried the obvious qcf 2K, hcbx2 3P also from what I interpret from [media=youtube]W1OIzDsxE2w"[/media] hcb, qcf 2K, hcb 3P.

Or just take the buttons out of your stick. That’s how I got rid of em.

Quick question – what is the preferred normal for anti-air? Are there several? Situationals?

^^ cr.mp / cr.mk

Thanks mang.

Started working on Guy today as a possible sub. Any consensus on “best Guy in the world”? AKA Who is the best JPN Guy player? :slight_smile:

Tsukiyama is the best known japanese Guy,but I think there are several Guy players around the world that play at very high level.Look up Ryan Hart,Alioune,RB,D’Nyce,Dieminion and Combofiend as examples.Just look through the video thread.

i dont know if D’nyce would be considered a world class Guy player…I’ve beaten him both times ive played him…btw, i am NOT bad mouthing D’nyce, he has a good, very solid Guy. they were both pretty close matches.

to the OP, i would have to say Tsukimiya, Combofiend, and Papatiwawa.

Hmmm,well he’s good youtube video material!I certainly learned a thing or two.I think the people I’ve suggested give you a good overall idea about Guy and his matchups regardless of their tournament skill level.

^^ agreed. hopefully after the clinic tomorrow i can finally have some gameplay of myself put up lol

sorry if this has already come up. I consider myself a trashy guy (lower genin rank at best). After posting some vids on youtube, i can see that i’m a lot more flip happy than I thought. My question is whats a good follow up to a landed or blocked bushin flip elbow? It feels like the best thing to do is go for the throw. Since there’s a pause, going into one of his crouching links it’s risky, plus i’m always paranoid that i’ll be mash dp’d or thrown. Any tips?

DO NOT AFFILIATE GUY WITH NARUTO!

anyways, you can attack, throw or backdash, crouch tech if you think you will be thrown block if you expect mash dp or back dash.

lol It was inevitable! I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

He swears by that c.mk. Personally, I can never get it to work.

Also, K1 I can upload the gameplay us playing if you want. Won’t be 720p quality, but it’s somethin.
