Just look at Akuma Vs Honda. If he trades hits or doesn’t play smart it’s pretty much over.
The problem with most of us in the U.S. is we all play risky and sloppy, therefore Akuma players will struggle.
Word.
I know that’s generally the case with Americans, which is why I want to know how Japan is doing with him.
I just played a match against my friend and he was using Guile and I was using Akuma. Now I lost a lot!I think the last score was 10-3:looney:. I knew I was making mistakes and I got excited and screwed up a lot because I am a sucky player. But anyways what i need to know is when Guile gets close to you and hes really putting pressure on I know to teleport, but my question which moves can you punish Guile’s roundhouse sweep with? List all of the moves please:wonder:
Punish Guile’s sweep? With pretty much everything. If you block the first hit you can focus after, shoryuken, throw out a normal move, demon, etc.
IIRC–He’s at -6 on block on the first hit. So, anything that starts up in at least 6 frames will punish him. As Loltima said, damn near anything.
i noticed in the Cammy match-up something vital is missing:
Hooligan Combination = Guaranteed Demon.
grab that bitch out the air.
What yall doing vs Blanka? This is probably my least knowledgeable match.
You can’t put him in the vortex as far as I know. Do meaties beat out his wake up options?
Try to push him to the corner. Cross him up like mad. Bait reversal upball so you can ultra. Get used to DP balls on reaction.
This is basically a fight you just learn from experience. Once you understand Blanka’s options you should be fine.

I’d like to know how much time I’d have to land a grounded combo on Blanka after a whiffed vertical ball. You went in and did a s.hp - f.srk
Good looks Shin. I can cross up Blanka? I was always under the impressions his anti cross up game was solid with up ball and auto correct blanka ball.
Also, wha do you guys mix your vortex with when you’re facing somoene who likes to backdash your cross tatsu? Empty jump sweep works, yeah, but leaves Akuma open to all sorts of pain if you guess wrong. I like option select anti tech combo(c.lk+lp), but it resets a backdasher.
FA works wonders against Blanka.
You can cross him up once you establish you are capable of safe jumping behind him and safe palm striking his wake up. Both of those options allow you to block his wake up defense, meaning if you have ultra, it’s a free demon.
Only if he’s walking forward though. Blanka ball in the balls during FA is painful.
that’s where dp on reaction comes into play.
reversal demons are good to get down for ex>ball also.
DP on reaction is easier said than done, and you’re not gonna get that at all if you’re holding a focus. I rarely focus on Blanka, it’s a game of death. Reversal demon can be used on any ball, not just ex ball.
You can focus Blanka, but you need to understand where to do it. I focus when we are in the middle of footsies or I see he has no charge.
Also you need to learn to DP balls on reaction or at least bait balls into your DP. It makes the fight so much easier.
it’s pretty easy for me. FA works on Blanka, period. you just need to LEARN how to use it. who the fuck is gonna hold FA when he has charge?
My brain has not upgraded SF firmware yet so you’ll have to excuse me.
When you guys are AA’ing general jumpins, would you guys prioritize DP over Cr. Fierce? I know it’s pretty situational, but if you had a point where you could do either, which one do you guys usually and why does it make it a better choice? I used to Cr. fierce a lot, but now I tend to DP more.
