Anyone know any good kuma players? I think I might have played sethlollol today and I got bodied! haha was actually fun being exposed like that. Anyway, I’m on psn and xbl so lemme know, thanks.
Only reason I’m running Lei on Point is because I really really prefer to have Steve as an anchor, But I may just have 2 seperate teams period, My prior teams were Sagat/Steve & Jin/Steve Maybe I could use one of those 2 as a Point character I also mess around With Yoshi, but I’ma give point Lei a shot, so Swoops give me the skinny! lol
Got you. Well Jin/Steve is a strong team. Sagat/Lei could work ( I use them from time to time). Yoshi/Lei would be nice and also Yoshi/Steve. I just feel Lei is better when he has someone that can set him up. I.E. - Law/Yoshi and I hear steve sets him up well too. Only thing is that steve needs meter.
Just thought I would share this with you guys a couple of Lei notes.
Vs. Zangief
Lei’s Panther HK beats out Jump HP
At max distance, St.LP and St.HP beat out Jump HP
Snake HK beats out Jump HP
Crane MK will stuff Command grab. Haven’t test the super
Dragon LP and HP are good AA as well
Tiger P is good as well as Tiger PP when you hit the hurtbox of the arm of Jump HP
The reason I’m focusing on this move is because Gief’s tend to use this alot when jumping in on Lei. If you space it right you can really irritate gief.
Vs. Jin
For wake up Swaying Willow, Just stand there in Crane and it will automatic low parry.
Crane HP stuffs Swaying Willow
Crane HK stuffs Swaying Willow
Vs. Paul
Paul’s EX Shredder will knock Lei out of his stances, however if you know that the opponent likes to wake up with regular shredder, Like most pauls do with one bar you can bait it out by standing in certain stances since Paul’s Regular Shredder doesnt hit crouching opponents.
Paul’s Shredder goes over:
Dragon stance - You have time to switch to tiger for the crumple
Panther - Go into the Panter TC
Snake - You can somehow set up a CH snake crumple combo depending on your team or go into Snake TC
Paul’s Shredder blow’s up:
Tiger Stance
Crane
Back Turn but I think the Back Turn HK will blow the shredder up since it is airborne.
Yeah Steve loves his meter, I’m running steve on point for now screw it lol I feel pretty confortable with him there plus…da damage O_O just gotta brush up my defense witht his team.
Probably said I was a scrub haha I wasn’t playing very well. But I would expect to get beaten that bad, I really only play once/twice a week.
Do you know any kumas? The things that was really hurting me were my unfamiliarity with the character, and that damn (I’m guessing here) jp.lk, jesus that jump in is ambiguous as hell. Anyway, any/all help would be great, thanks
Jump MK is ambigous. You can’t quick rise on that setup. Also the best Kuma too play would be sethlolol. Keep in mind that me and seth play all the time so he knows how to fight that team. Your best bet is Lei gimmicks lol
Well I didn’t feel law was a problem, it was Kuma. Like I said I’m so unfamiliar with that character, not to mention he is a much better player than I am. But the biggest thing that was killing me was not knowing what to expect or what options Kuma has. But if you could set something up that would be awesome. Thanks!
Why the xx drunk after mk? is it like Steve’s flicker cancels where it lets you cancel into another normals quicker during combos? The distinction being this is during juggles
Yes. s.MK has a very slow recovery, but cancelling into drunk makes him only have 13f recovery (since Drunk takes 13f), and he needs to crouch for 1f to cancel his stance, making this juggle possible.
If you want to combo into his animal stances you can take a look on page 7 of this thread. I posted a list of all the launch combos I know there. The st.mk one above is probably the most practical and damaging, but if the situation favors options rather than damage you can go for the ones I listed there if you know your stuff when in stances.
So I started messing around now that I learned that st MK you can cancel his Drunk stance into cr mp during juggles I tried it on grounded opponents to see if this allowed for a combo into cr mp and like Steve flicker cancels I believe it does, is this known? I had CH on random but I didn’t see CH come up at all.
Naw no bubble bursting, still experimenting alot with him, I know you guys have been on him for a while lol, Any other sort of stance cancels of this nature?
