The Q&A Fuerte Matchup Thread

Stop you sound like a dick rider at the very end … If this stuff you posted works then why would you need anyone to correct you ???

I honestly thought the same thing about the focus … and why isnt there any run stop pressure being used with the rs mk and F ? i commend beating latif but this to me is boring to watch and i wouldnt be threaten by it …

When your blocking the Burn kicks which way should you block them …

Don’t know if troll.

lol ok buddy

Hey Gracias, it’s respect. There are a LOT of things that “work” because the other player doesn’t know better…

And sometimes there are things that work, but there are better setups to use instead.

Also, the reason there is a disclaimer on that post is because the questions were in response to low level tactics…This puts it in the former, not the latter…and such, pointless to this overall thread in my opinion.

Lookin for some tips against Vega. I ran a long Endless set with this dude tonight, we went back and forth for about 10-15 games then he ran me over bout 7 in a row >_>

Anywho, Vega seems pretty free to meaty slide, and I was able to Tortilla > OS U1 his backflip a few times. I air grabbed a few wall dives and what not, but he was pretty good at not throwin em out there. Any other match up specifics would be great, thanks.

Knock Vega down and don’t do too many run special attempts unless the Vega just likes doing Scarlett kick (his AA special).
I find that cr.HK, f.MK, blatant throw attempt, and focus-attack to catch backdashes work much too well against a knocked down Vega.

If he has ultra 2, he’ll probably try to punish your meaty cr.HK so just bait it out and punish.

If you do run specials, one of his flips can avoid that or he can just focus/backdash to safety. F that, this is one match where Fuerte’s normals on knockdown just totally obliterates Vega.

i usually corpse hop vega and alternate between meaty slide, f.mk, and tortilla

Vega’s air throw is 3 frames just like Guile’s so be very careful. Anything Guile can air throw out of he can as well.

ACU2 is not a guarantee. Vega can cancel normals into back flips.

His kara-throw has good range.

Without meter the matchup is annoying. He can poke you out of everything and makes you commit to bad option to score a knockdown if you become impatient.

It’s more straight up than you think.

Don’t mess with Makoto’s U2. Sheesh

use Ultra 1 to punish his FBA attack from about anywhere

El Fuertes airthrow is awesome, just jump up and meet vega anytime you see him in the air from an FBA or otherwise

use the scissor kick to punish his wall dive SHC, or run + HK after u block it

once he’s down, dont let up on he pressure from crHK, or the smash or the throws

when he CRF’s, , wait it out and see whats next

when he Cosmic Heels, do a LK scissor kick,

jump off the back wall and come down and air-throw him right out of his Scarlet Terror

EX Scissor kick his EX FBA’s

do alot of running & FA’s

Beat his FA’s, Elfuerte is one of the few characters who actually has a longer FA AND a faster FA than Vegas

EX Scissor kick an incoming FBA if you cant get to an airthrow

etc

I main Vega, my buddy mains El Fuerte ,we go on and on all day

Scissors? Wut?

Oh god, scissors. One sec, guys, downloading some scissor action now.

really? seriously?

elfuerte + “scissor kick” = ??

seriously?

empathy would lead most rational people to following flow chart:

Scissor kick = scissor-ish leg movement + one of Fuert’s (sorry, El Fuerte’s) moves = mentally going through the list of moves El Fuerte has = dawning realization there is only one such move which fits said description.

sorry, guacamole-dip-in-the-shorts move…

Relax, man, it’s all good - we’re just making fun of your description of the move. :stuck_out_tongue:

Scissor action is pretty hot though.

Damn son. I don’t see the scissoring you speak of. Maybe some Tecate and calamari will loosen those legs up.

Hey guys… how’s the Dhalsim matchup play out?

Be patient. sooner or later he’s gonna teleport.

so is my timing rusty or does juris ultra 2 beat out safe tortilla? im hoping its the former
