Kiryu vs Makoto

^^ great fight to watch
In match 2 between Tokido and ihara in the Topanga Tournament, around 3:20 ihara countered Akuma’s sweep on block with stMp into Ex Hozanto. It’s pretty funny cause I just did a small write up on that about a week ago (i believe on the punishment tread) and ihara just happen to be my favorite Guy player. It’s good that someone is using that punishment. It’s good espeically against Ken since I play so many online. And if Ken whiff’s sweep, like many, just counter with Ex Hozanto since his sweep is slow.
is this what you’re talking about xIROCx?

i was just thinking… as guy players, we have a lot of strong reference material in kiryu, ihara, OTK, kiyo, and i don’t know if he’s still playing him but combofiend as well(i hope he continues to play him in ae… i think he might’ve switched to makoto though… don’t quote me on that). i can’t think of a lot of other characters that have that many top level players using them.
Yun and Yang called. They have plenty.
Yea that’s the video MADma3str0.
Your also right about these guy’s giving us good reference material, that’s why I like wacthing them do their thing. Just gives me a little more motivation. I still don’t understand why Yun Ex Shoulder goes under fireballs and Guy’s don’t. Yun just seems like a better verison of Guy, with a dive kick. But what ever the cause, I’m sticking with Guy. Looking forward to AE home edition.
What´s up Guys? I have been of the grid for quite some time due to studies and such. But now I got some new replays for ya.

I take constructive criticism if anyone has any advice to offer
^ quite solid!
In the Ryu match I thought you threw a few too many random flips for my liking(I usually get well punished for them myself) but they seemed to come off well anyway. Also against Ryu, I thought you could have gone for cr.mp, bushin chain punish instead of TC xx Hoz.
I wouldn’t have thrown out as many flips in the Guile match either as a solid Guile wouldn’t let it happen at all. He’s got too many good ways to shut it down. I like to use more EX Run > slide/overhead in this match.
For Bison, punish with TC xx Run slide and set up safe jump OS’s.
Overall, may be a bit more Run Stop pressure and frame traps? Just my thoughts.
I have to agree, you are a solid Guy player…
The thing I like about you the most is your spirit of rush down pressure. IMO your playing Guy the way he should be played. In the Blanka match you could of earned more damaged if you counterd Blanka’s rolling attack with Run Slide (90 damaged) and if you wanted to do more damage use Ex Run Slide for 120 damage. In my experience playing against Blanka, I suggest that you try your best to save Super and land it on Blanka preferably on the last round to finish him off. I say that because its hard to land Ultra on some charicter’s and he’s one of them. I believe Guy’s Super is the win in this match because Guy can land Super in multiple ways.
- After Blocking Blanka’s Ultra 1 or Super, counter with Low Hozanto into Super. After blocking Ultra 2, counter with Fierce Hozanto into Super for 510 damage.
- Focus Attack Cancel into back dash Blanka’s Rainbow Rolling Attack, then quickly input Medium Hozanto into Super for big damage.
- Trap Blanka in the corner. Wait and Block his Forward Rolling Attack, then quickly input Medium Hozanto into Super.
- Block Blanka’s Forward rolling attack then counter with Run Slide. Then Neutral Jump and block upon landing. If you blocked Blanka’s Forward Rolling Attack, then quickly punish with Medium Hozanto into Super. The damage will be around 480.
Some other things; use Ninja Sickle and crMk on Blanka’s wake to counter his Forward Rolling Attack.
After blocking Blanka’s Sweep, combo stMP into Run Slide or stMP into Ex Hozanto.
After blocking Blanka’s crouching Fierce Punch, counter with Ex Hozanto.
After blocking Blanka’s close standing Fierce Punch or Fierce Kick, you can counter with Ex Tatsu (easy) or Bushin Chain (hard).
Keep up the good work!
thanks guys I appreciate the tips/compliments Im actually going to use this stuff in my matches now. I haven’t really did any real big matchup studying yet this is my 2nd week using guy seriously so I have much to learn and with people like you Im pretty sure i’ll up my guy if I put in the time to listen and learn. I always keep the mindset of applying pressure and that gets me killed pretty fast sometimes because I dont zone enough to the point where I can make them forget I have a solid rushdown. I dont really consistently win in ranked match but when I see people with high bp/pp I try extremely hard lmao.
also i prefer ultra 1 for the blanka fight, you can punish his ultra one on reaction if he’s using it near you. completely beats his out and gives you the full animation
Great post IROC. Is this stuff already in the match up thread? Shall I copy it over?
For someone who played guy for 2 weeks, I would say you are not bad.
You are missing the safe jumps after ur run slide combo.
Hold up (neutral jump) after your run slide combo on hit.
Hold block and either lp, mp, or mk during ur nj.
The flash kick will not hit you if you do the safe jump and hold block.
Then you can carry on your pressure after the safe jump.
Refer to safe jump section for more setups.
Now I know why you ask that question in Q & A. = )
I assume those Blanka tipps were for me?
During my match against the Blanka player I totally forgot to punish the Blanka-balls with the run --> slide every time. I usually do that. But thanks for the reminder. Also the Ultra 1 against Blanka is a far better choice than Ultra 2. Thank you for the Super Combo set ups. I never tried those, so I think I´m gonna build that into my gameplay against Blanka.
@ britepixel
some of it has been mentioned before, but I’m not sure about some of those Super setups. I posted some other stuff in the punishment thread, but you can post it if you think it’s useful. I hope the PSN is up soon so I can test out some more stuff.
Hey elwood what device are you using to record your matches?
This thread is not moving.
Amazing play as always. More Kiryu.
