Things you just don't understand about ST

and here’s a list of the common cross-ups for the characters

if you want a cross-up to be a true cross-up, make sure that the center of your green box is past the opponent’s green box

to make your cross-up really ambiguous, you should aim for the center of the opponent’s green box

i bet claw could possibly have a neutral jump cross-up w/ a setup that allows it, but i dont know of such a setup

Well, it is basically the same reason (glitch) why special canceling it, which is, impact freeze extending the kara cancel period.

The wake-up animations are also important. During the animation, one will notice Honda gets some higher pushboxes that prevent him from getting crossed-up as a meaty by many characters.

Honda being so fat, yet so fking hard to cross up even with shoto’s super easy xup tatsu. It doesn’t make sense at all.

I think this is the problem. ComedyBlissOption I find the pics of each character laying on the floor very funny ^^

If you have time can you try to capture honda’s (or all characters ? :slight_smile: hitbox changes from knocked down to standing?

We can then study the green box’s changes and it might provide clues as to why certain characters are harder to cross up.

if you want to mess around get the fba-rr emulator and use the sf2 lua hitbox script
fbarr - FinalBurn Alpha Rerecording - Google Project Hosting
Street Fighter II hitboxes - secrets

here’s honda and sagat wake-up hitboxes
Photo Album - Imgur
the green collision box actually briefly jumps up while they are getting up and can prematurely block you

claw’s has a wierd bounce before he lands but i dont think it should affect crossups
guile has a similar bounce up before he gets up but I dont think i’ve ever felt i got cockblocked when trying to cross up guile

i messed around and i got video of honda and sagat’s wierd green boxes cockblocking ryu attempting to cross them up which i’ve noticed happen wierdly in my play as well

characters that have high jump arcs or green boxes that wont intersect with those boxes can safely clear and cross up sagat/honda

ryu just happens to have a really tall and low box when he jumps

the video shows

  1. ryu getting blocked by honda
  2. ryu getting blocked by sagat
  3. fei crossing up honda
  4. fei getting blocked by sagat
  5. cammy crossing up sagat
    [media=youtube]jOKuEyF7SGE[/media]

wow, you’re genius. now i see ryu getting cockblocked by honda’s fat greenbox in slow mo… exactly like the 99 times I attempted to cross him up with ryu.

and sagat’s green box going upward on wake up pushing ryu away…

while fei jumps high enough to avoid honda’ green box, he still can’t get passed sagat

http://cepollar.stu.cofc.edu/hjump.jpg

although cammy can go pass sagat, but if she xup up at that high, i think it’ll whiff if sagat keeps crouching.

I think you’re right. Just showing the frame advance still images of a character on wake up doesn’t tell you much. But with your slow motion video showing how it pushes the other guy away is a lot more easier to see how they interact.

this is gold. thanks

silly big beards… this is what hk master saids waht 10 years ago in bible day? It belive easiest way this is demonstrate is with the man who wait for the time when he may burn up. KEN. Very easy to show.

It no wonder big beards alwaysd playing with there big sticks, and going to war. Brian so small!

Oh also I heard rumor recently…

ryu…

he is…

BEST MAN. :karate::angel::badboy:

Oh he also got chun li preganent. But then told her he dont play that. So it died from mind fuck! Now back to physical.

Wait i am fluent in retard allow me to translate:

Humorous bearded men… this has been said by the masters of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China for a decade.

The easiest way to demonstrate is with the man who stands at the top of flaming manliness Ken.

I am not surprised that the big bearded men always played with their big sticks as opposed to the small Asian ones. This is due to their inferior intellect.

Ryu was the best man at my wedding.

He got Chun pregnant, Then she said aloud: No i must kill the babies but then the priest said: No Ryu you are the baby.

And then Ryu was a pregnant.

Wait you are fluent in retard? No wonder you were born this way. Your mother take your oxygen and you are handicap.

Hey guess what? I tell you true I AM fluent in ass kick, and yours is dirty. You are comedy.

This conversation hk best man have already talk about many years ago in bible days of SRK. I also tell corrosion this why happen. This is old school news. I am student you are teacher. I have fail you. Plz go back your moms vagina to get your nutrients. :tdown:

I object sir.

You are truly comedy.

It’s not ryu’s fault. It’s just too tempting for ryu.

You dont know who you are fucking with. HK Master is the asia version of the fighting game combo genius Desk. HK Master can find out all the bugs and shits that scrubs can’t.

Summary of cauldrath’s findings/confirmations and stuff I’ve tested:
Dizzytime is how long you have to wait until your stun resets to 0. Dizzytime goes down during anything during the game! Hitstun, blockstun, and knockdown included.
Almost all attacks add dizzytime. The dizzytime just gets accumulated to the current dizzytime you have.
One dizzytime is one simulation frame. However, ST is actually simulated at 75 fps according to sirlin and the drawing is done at 60 fps. Thus, sometimes, the dizzytime counter will go down by more than 1 per frame. The dizzytime immediately starts ticking down as soon as you get it.

Almost all attacks add a random amount of stun between two integers. This stun is simply summed up as you get hit and does not get reduced due to combos. The only way to get rid of stun is for your dizzytime to hit 0 to reset your stun. Stun will not decrease over time like in 3s/sf4.

I haven’t tested, but due to the assembly code snippet cauldrath pointed out, I suspect that it’s easier to get dizzied on faster speeds because the dizzytime probably doesn’t drop down at a faster rate due to the higher speed.

Grabs do not seem to do any dizzy. If you need an excuse to use non-grab throws on a grab char, use it to dizzy.
Chars dizzy at 30 or above. However, characters have some type of modifier that affects how much stun they take per hit. This is either a simple multiplier or there’s a random chance of just subracting/adding 1 to the hit.

Throws do not instantly stun or add to the dizzy timer. Teching does not seem to reduce the stun or dizzy timer.

Dizzytime does not strictly determine how much stun an attack does.
However generally, heavier moves do more dizzy.
Sets of moves with the same dizzy/strength commonly have the same dizzytime. However, you can’t use this when trying to find the optimal stun combos/setups. Moves unintuitively have different stuns that were programmed due to the game designer. For example, n.ryu’s best diagonal jumping stun move is dj.mk.

The stun from a move does not seem to be a uniform distribution. It is harder to get the lower or higher end of the stun a move can do than the middle.

Here are some tests I ran to test how characters receive extra/less stun. As you can see, sim indeed does definitely stun more easily than ryu who stuns more easily than gief.

Note that these tests may be slightly inaccurate since I could only test by repeated trials. I don’t know assembly well enough to figure out the algorithm and numbers from the game.

Grabs do some dizzy, sometimes after a SPD, the oponent ends up dizzy and ready for the Knock Out

SPD is a throw, a grab is like Blanka’s bite, Ken’s knee bash, Sim’s noogie, etc.

If anyone wants me to confirm/test something with regards to dizzy just ask. It’s pretty easy to do.

If you want a good idea of the low end of stun for a combo, use the second lowest number since the extremes are rarely rolled. I think you can generally add 1 for sim and subtract 1 for gief for dizzy combos. I think looking at the data really is only good for making sure you don’t press certain buttons that unintuitively have lower stun when you’re going for a dizzy.

Remember that extremes of stun rarely get rolled.

When you sweep someone, you generally have slightly less than 30 display frames to hit them again to keep the dizzy timer going.

If blanka hits you with a combo and you don’t get dizzied, if you just block until the timer wears out you cannot get dizzied. His throw cannot dizzy. This applies to any char who also has only grab throws.

blanka vs ryu

I did some blanka. I don’t expect this data to be very illuminating except to confirm what people have intuitively known for a while. Still, confirmation is nice.
Main things:
Use dj.hk for maximum dj dizzy.
dj.hp is terrible for stun.
nj.hk for max nj stun.
upballs might be slightly better for stun.
you could use close mp, far hp/hk for maximum dizzy chargeless punish outside point blank range
obviously crossup lk, cl.mp, 4+mp does a lot of stun but it can actually fail quite a bit

Special move strengths may have slight differences in stun like they do in damage, but it’s way too cumbersome to try to figure it out through running a lot of trials. They seem roughly the same to me.

Can you please do this for the rest of the cast? Pretty please? :karate::karate:

Instant overhead dizzy set-ups with gief:
close sweep. meaty instant overhead nj.headbutt (world version). meatying this as an overhead is difficult. will usually dizzy. works on guile. may not work on all characters. you can dj.hk instant overhead if you aren’t close enough for the headbutt.

cr.mk xx lariat (usually due to a punish) and instant overhead meaty w/ dj.hk or nj.headbutt. dj.hk will almost always dizzy while nj.headbutt will always dizzy.

far dj.hk, sweep. instant overhead.

basically any knockdown combo that didn’t stun but usually does should have enough time left over to let you instant overhead for the dizzy. this obviously applies to any character with an instant overhead.

raw lariat or regular throws dont have enough dizzy timer to keep the stun when the opponent gets up.

if you’re close enough to do nj headbutt setups, you can just safe jump though so it’s more of a shenanigan. I was hoping it would work against ken as a legit mixup since you can’t safejump him, but his head is too low to instant overhead with headbutt.

NJ. Headbutt is not an instant overhead. Every character can crouch under it.

I’d love to know if splash does more dizzy than DJ. HP/HK. In my experience Zangief’s best three throws for dizzying are far RBG, MP Piledriver, and LP SPD in decsending order of effectiveness.

When characters get up, they have at least a single “standup” frame if they’re holding crouch and aren’t reversaling. Characters with tall hitboxes can be hit by it. Doing meaty instant overhead nj headbutt is just a gimmick really though b/c it’s always better to just safe jump or safe meaty far lk and it’ s actually pretty hard to time.

There’s some stuff to consider in gief’s dizzy when trying to spd into a dizzy.

Often, the dizzy timer will hit 0 before the throw will add to the dizzy timer because no dizzy is caused until the damage is registered. You have to create really large dizzy before you can cause stun before the timer hits 0. One setup is raw crossup splash, cr.jabx3-4, spd. The spd dizzy will almost always work and will do more damage overall than comboing into sweep. However keep in mind that the timing for cr.jabx3 spd to dizzy is much tighter than cr.jabx4 spd to dizzy and you have to land the splash as deep as possible. Characters that do not have hitboxes forward of their green collision box will not let you cr.jabx4. Sweep into meaty splash, cr.jab x2, spd can dizzy because of the timer from the sweep.

Similarly, raw lariat into any meaty attack will not extend the dizzy from the lariat. c.mk xx lariat however will cause enough dizzy to let you meaty and extend. Punishing with c.mk xx lariat into safe ambiguous splash for possible dizzy would be a much better punish than spd midscreen if the enemy does a very unsafe move.

If you’re comboing into charge characters w/o charge or sim, going for the spd dizzy is a good idea and will give you more damage and higher chance of dizzy than comboing into sweep.

I’m on the fence with this one. How useful is this information really? The only useful case would be where there are two normals that have similar properties and yet one causes radically more stun than the other.
