Your reading it right yes, those are the startups. The issue is standing jab on block is +4, so a 2f gap between any of the options that start in 6f. Not a true blockstring, but no worse than the other except for cr.mk which is 3f difference. And yeah, the range.
i actually alternate between that and the c. mk hitconfirm. . reason being ALL the folowups for b+mk are “unsafe” theres a gap that can be srk’d in all of them and b+mk leaves you at - 8 on block by itself
Can anyone who can do TK air ninja stars stick up a video just doing a few? I can’t seem to get the timing consistently for all the tea in China…
So when will we start a matchup thread?
I’m having Rolento nightmares already.
Defensive players what do… or retard turtlers
Im having trouble now with retards combo and pressure and op ryu and ken with uppercut and I can’t punish why? They ALWAYS cancel into the other and make it safe or if hit then it just uppercut cancel and goes into a another uppercut…
well for one shoryuken, change, shoryuken isnt safe, A you can punish the change itself… which is tight but it can be done. 2 you can just bait out the change and punish the second shoryuken with 500 damage for free. vs turleing throw stuff the entire time… eventually they have to stop turtling
I have had a few matches against decent relentos… worst case was getting caught in the corner and dealing with that mixup but i managed to block most of it… use ravens EX LK+MK alter ego(if im not mistaken thats the invincable version im at work and i forgot offhand lol) as a get the hell off me move. relento has bad wakeup options so your goal is an untechable knockdown. when you see him jump off the back wall neutral jump mk and rh are your best friends. and anti-air with b+mk as relento’s air game is usually low to the ground. if hes trying to space with kunai you can wind cross (the last few frames of it have projectile invulnerability, haze in anticipation or just jump crossed ninja star at the height hes throwing his kunai
edit: grammar lol im freakin tired…
press the attack button just a little later than you are will probably fix it. took me a few tries but i’m hella consistent with it now
Explain on the punish on the shoryuken charge?
Shoryuken > Change cancel > He light punches and then does strings?
Where do you see the open punish
So basically vs Hugo I should be jumping back shuriken, baiting lariats and not doing stupid things on his wake-up?
Also what do you do vs Guile?
I’m pretty sure Shoryuken xx tag is safe except when you are backed in to the corner. In fact I think if they are in the corner, you are very negative yourself.
How do you fight against a pretty good Raven?
Also, how do you deal with his light punch frame trap into whatever.
They’re not that stupid to use 1 shoryu and just spam the 2nd one obviously. You cannot bait the 2nd one as it goes into 1 big string…
How do you fight against a pretty good raven? You should explain, what he is doing to you in order to give you trouble… How to fight against a good raven is basically not helping at all
he starts with controlling the air (I play Juri/Hwo) with shuriken. I know how to get around this after so long of fighting him, but it’s basically like once I get hit then I can’t get control of the game back. He has this string of light punches we found out the other night and it easily links 4 times before the chain breaks, but he can special cancel it into a low or overhead. The light punches really annoy me and cause problems because along with his ambiguous cross up, he just follows up with that. If I block a few of his hits though, it’s like his recovery is fast enough to allow him to jump and repeat until he jumps over me while I’m backing up and starts the chain again.
Not really going into the tag combos, thats basically how his solo Raven plays without adding in all the teleports and special moves.
Everyone has a string of light punches…
It causes problems for everyone most of the time…
But not everyone’s light punches are 3 framers that are +4 on block. <3 Raven jabs
Chill dudes,
Ves, gl0ry is an ooooold sparring buddy of mine from thecvs2 days, he’s an Excellent player who has won at least one tournament before. If he played seriously like he used to he would be getting results, but he’s probably a casual/randomly serious player like me now he must be getting on in age 
Gl0ry, ves will come up with all the tech no one else can for whatever character he plays, dude has put work in during sfiv for blanka and when you invest a lot of ur time to advance the community and no one else does,It can leave you a little grouchy on the forum some time! Hey ves, u wanna ditch raven and pick up law??? Hmm, don’t worry about anti airs.
I’m placing now and I’d rather educate than just pretend everyone doesn’t exist. If I don’t argue and attempt to persuade I might as well just start a blog instead of posting here.
I would drop Hugo for Law. I’m playing around with a little law atm, but I haven’t really put much time in with other character still. I think Raven’s matchups are too good to drop him so early.
Law is damn fun man, I have absolutely no one to play the game with so law is top tier for training mode!
Raven is not that good… There is a reason why you hardly see that many ravens online…
All you see is guile, ryu, kens
