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

^^ that’s who i was thinking it would be useful on if you can get it down. deejay was another character i was thinking of trying it on. but guile especially… i can’t test it right now because i don’t have the ps3 at my house right now. but i’m curious to see if guile could recover in time.

What is up with command elbow crossing up? I’ve done it twice this week on accident, anyone/ any way (to) utilize/ing it?

The versatility of bushinryu is quite evident in this post.

its very situational. apparently it works on sakura’s wakeup. i really dont think you should go about trying to learn how to do it consistently, because, well, its not consistent.

Yo who’s a good sub to cover Guy’s bad matchups? I used to main Gouken in vanilla, but I don’t really like the old bastard any more. In a crisis, I can use Gouken against Honda definitely, and against T Hawk and Gief. For Guy’s other bad matchups, who’s a good character to pick up? I know a LITTLE about Akuma, but I’m really interested in Abel right now.

^^ Chun covers them all pretty much.

Guy doesn’t really have a bad match up against Gief or Hawk… as it all applies to everyone in the cast. You just cant get close for long and apply pressure.

Any hints for a new Guy getting cr.LP->FF consistently? Just do it over and over again?

Here are some tips from a thread posted some time ago.

I try to take a very short pause after the cr.LP before performing the Bushin Chain. It works well for me, so the cr.LP and the st.LP from the Bushin Chain won’t rapid fire chain together.

Thanks dude :slight_smile: Just for clarity (since I’m still new), the whole input string is cr.LPx2->st.LP->MP->HP->HK?

You can start with either one or two low jabs, depending on your distance, but yes, that’s the correct input.

starting with cr.lk is more beneficial.

So just cr.LK->st.LP etc etc? What makes cr.LK any better? Better range, recovery, easier-to-combo? “Shut up scuz, it’s just better, okay”? :3

^^ yes better range… slightly more damage… but those are little things… one… it’s a low haha, so if you catch them standing they’re getting hit. also you don’t have to do cr. short > ff chain… personally i do cr. short > cr. jab> ff chain. anyway… back to it’s advantages… it allows for empty jump setups and you can crouch tech it to make the empty jump setup safer. i don’t think i ever hit cr. short and not crouch tech it when i start the hit confirm to ff chain.

One they have to be blocking low, more range and it does +10 more damage than cr lp. The difference between the frame advantage is Lp is +3 on block and +6 on hit, lk is +2 on block and +5 on hit. But Lk is better to use since its able to hit low.

Why does tc xx lk tatsu increase the juggle height on lk tatsu?.
e.g. In the corner ‘tc xx lk tatsu, super’ works, but ‘cr mp xx lk tatsu, super’ doesn’t.

In this video I think Papatiwawa tried to armour cancel into U1 against Akumas demon flip dive kick.Papatiwawa messed it up but if he had done it successfully would he have caught Tokido with it?Or would Tokido be able to block it in time?

lk tatsu has a wierd hit box…it actually has 3 hits but only 2 hit most of the time…in the corner some combos like c.lp,c.lp.c.lk->lktatsu…make the tatsu hit 3 times which let it juggle into super…

im new to guy would anyone give me combos and also a combo to link u1 plz thx!

[media=youtube]lwi8SFNpfjs[/media] he has 4 parts.

[media=youtube]qUUr_09OzQQ[/media] pretty basic structure of his combos, bnbs etc.

What are some good hit-confirm combos? other than TC > mixup. I tried to do c.lk > c.lk > c.lk > run x slide for a while. too many links for me though, there must be one that isn’t so link heavy and has a quicker startup than TC?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn’t think the link above had what i was looking for and I now see that it does, but to change my question,

Which do you prefer and why?
