If I understand correctly, regular throws will sometimes beat Hakan’s oil rocket, too (or am I wrong?) If that’s the case, what about doing a 360, ending in a crouch and pressing lk+lp+mp? Or would you even need the crouch in that case? (As crouch is necessary for lk oil dive to work while pressing lk+lp). I was going to try that next. If you’re short on EX, this might be useful.
[edit]Nope, you can’t get oil rocket to work like this. Too bad. Also, I added in a s.hp to my Rufus dummy, and it did indeed beat crouching defense, throw-teching oil dive. I was messing around with Hakan’s neutral stance against the dive kick and did a coward crouch to complement that. Dive kick, s.hp whiffs completely, and you have time to get up and punish. That said, it seems way too risky and inconsistent to try in a real battle. Fun to mess around with, though. I could be wrong that it’s worthless, but ya’ never know. Maybe it’ll come in handy to avoid the last little chip damage and make a miracle come back. I don’t know Rufuses well enough to determine if this would do anything remotely useful.
Also, I’m still going with the defensive/tech-throwing lk oil dive against the Rufus (and Cammy?) rush down. Against the typical Rufus online, it’ll be good.
[edit]Yup, it works against Cammy, too. Tried it out.
