The Rufus Match-up Thread

If your opponent does cr.HP as a tech throw OS, you just block and punish with cr.lp, EX GT. Do it twice then he’ll stop! If he AA you with cr.hp, it means your jumps are too obvious and you need to get closer to sakura before you jump. I mean, really close:)

It’s worth noting that Sakura is actually one of the characters whose cr. fierce OS tech can be punished with Ultra 1 on block. Yay frame data.

How do you punish Yun’s Ultra 1 on block? The last hit pushes you away and he recovers so fast.

Any suggestions?

c.mk Ex tornado/ c.lp EX tornado ? Haven’t tried it tho so I might be wrong.

Jump over him after the third block walk up fiercexxfierce gt punish.

What are rufus thoughest matchups?

IMO Sagat is his hardest, followed by Gief

he’s got a lot of other really hard ones too though IMO, I think a lot of people overrate his matchups

punish before the last hit, you have enough time to do basically anything…fierce into fierce tornado if you have no ultra, otherwise just ultra

What about Honda? He seems pretty though for him right?

Gief,Sagat and ryu are way worse then honda…

IMO Rufus beats Honda…it was even in Super but with his nerfs, the matchup is in Rufus favor as he can pressure more fearlessly off knockdown

One and only suggestion. His ultra1 is a set of 4 hits (on block) just block 1,2 and 3, directly after 3 focus attack the 4th/last and stun him, and do whatever you want

On block reversal after the 3rd hit. If you have ultra, reversal it. If not, ex messiah. The 4th hit comes out slow so after the 3rd hit you can do anything to Yun

vs twins?

Just make sure his Ultra isn’t a reversal; if its reversal, all hits will armor-break.

So Ive decided to come back to Rufus after dabbling a bit with Yun (I need the health too much so I stuck with the fatty…)

Does anyone have some new/good technology against buffed up Fei? Currently hes my hardest match and its not even close…

When you’re playing against Fei, you have to be patient and look for openings so you can punish him. In the Fei-Long match up I just switch to Guile because it’s alot better.
