i wanna play (only the extra credit though, i honestly gave up on this game about 9-12 months ago and havent been super active in it for a couple of years, though i think i know these answers)
many things, though i think you are searching for a specific answer here.
the many things (feel free to ignore this)
because shes cammy and she wants to
because she thinks she is in range
because she guesses an AA from ibuki and wants to put that divekick on that ass to beat said AA
because she knows its hard as hell to AA divekicks with reactionary ex kaze
because ibuki doesnt have any good setups after hitting ex kaze so risk/reward is in her favor.
** the answers i think (hope) you are looking for:**
1.because she cant safely poke/walk/dash in against lk/mk tsumuji in the neutral game, so she needs to go over it and the best way to go over it is to jump and the best jump is a divekickā¦
2.second hit of tsumuji? when i was using ibuki tsumujis to zone, often times my tsumiujis would wiff the first hit and then the second hit would make contact⦠this is the range that matches generally played out at and makes tsumuji punishable to focus if it was a lk tsumuji
the only other reason to focus for cammy that i know of would be to punish max range slide, there are other more esoteric uses for focus against ibuki but id consider them more player specific, and probably not what you are looking for.
3ā¦. this one is super theory fighter of me⦠but fadc forward dashes⦠i guess to blow up a cammy that uses fadc cannon spikes to frame trap?
or maybe ibuki has a safe jump setup against cammy that cammy will want to use an fadc against⦠but that would mostly be to fadc backdash wouldnt it? idk im drawing a blank. teach me pls, im not being facetious there, i really mean it, im asking what is it that you do to make cammys more predictable with there fadc forward dash, to the point that i could spend 99.9% of my mental reactionary focus on that 1 possibility⦠it seems really hard, and i called it a theory fighter punish when it was discovered.
the same way i also called the yoga sniper focus forward dash u2 punish against sim that i discovered like 2 weeks into super, to be mostly theory fighter.
hope i did well there, if i didnt pls tell me where i went wrong⦠sorry to be asking to be spoonfed, but seriously there are reasons why some players are top and others arent. ive tried to figure this match out over the course of years and havent been able to do it. in fact i dropped this silly game cause of divekicks in general.
having said that i actually entered into one of the tsrbs in seattle in like '10 hadnt played high level in months and went out 0-2 lost to futures rog who seemed to have some of the best footsies i had ever played against (and yes ive played against most of socals best players so i know what good footsies look and feel like to play against) and his were up there imho, though we only played 2 matches⦠so basically he outzoned and destroyed my admittedly rusty ibuki⦠then in grandfinals i saw you basically destroy himā¦
buk, i dont doubt that what you are saying has merit, but simply stating things as on and off doesnt really help us. which is fine if thats what your after, to be left alone, to simply play casually.
its just that you are "buk"ing the system and not really telling why your points stand for what they stand for.
i can read between the lines, i know that you are saying to use neutral tsumujs to bait jumpins and react to divekicks by how high cammy goes⦠i just dont for the life of me know how to actually do that⦠the bitch seems to be able to get over tsumujis easily and does alot more damage for a correct guess than we get for one in that situationā¦
anywho if you read all this thank you and, and thank you for contributing some admittedly fascinating new tech.
