Right now it breaks down like this. When full screen, throw a high tiger shot so he’ll throw a sonic boom. Then throw a low one so the gets the chip damage. Repeat that until he decides to move in. He has a pretty floaty jump so you should be able to punish a jump in easily. When you notice that they have a back down charge, try to get right to the tip of the flash kick’s range and bait it by holding a focus attack for a few frames and back dashing. Punish however you see fit. If he gets in close, learn his poke patterns. If they like to do a spinning back fist after a sonic boom, or sweep, or whatever, they are very imperfect block strings. Wait until you have 2 bars and TU FADC ultra him. Never jump in at him, there is no reason to. You can also MK TK over sonic booms and land the second hit pretty easily on reaction from max distance. The match up is very basic… and one of the most boring ones IMO.
Without a doubt I love watching Mago, but so far all he has done is showed me how to loose to Guile.
cool…i do apreciate it man.
for some reason i feel that 1 bad mistake with sim is going to cost me the match so TIGER SHOTS 4 EVER FTW
just wanted to add this piece of info.
You can get about 600 plus damage with Sagat using U2. A complete waist of meter but a TON of Damage.
You can do Mk super close anywhere on screen to Ultra 2, It hits EVERY CHARACTER ANYWHERE ON SCREEN NOT JUST CORNER.
the most damage is if you do Jump neutral Fierce crouch Fierce Medium Super to Ultra 2.
I know stupid, but I still find it interesting.
hey guys long time reader first time poster.
only recently got the ssf4 game and encountered a rufus who loved to spam the U2. i cant jump it, ive tried interuprting it and even avoiding it but havnt had any luck.
any tips/guarentees?
cheers
Is this just safe j.rh input u2 while in air?
Basically.
Ryu Matchup
i play way too many Ryus online and havent found a great tactic to easily overcome them. i usually spam TS and wait for a jump then use my anti airs (hk). works on most Ryus. anyone got any other ideas?
Sounds like you got the match up pretty nailed down to tell you the truth.
haha alright. just wanted to know if there was any better tactics. thanks
High tiger shot beats ex physco crusher clean, whereas physco crusher beats ex low tiger shot. glitch???
I seen this a few times, it beats it clean every single time regardless of timing?
Man, sorry guys for not keeping up with my Sagat threads.
I’ve been busy with lots of stuff going on in my life (not bad stuff, just stuff that keeps you away from your vices :wonder: ) but I’m back…hopefully for the long haul. I can only assume this thread is massively outdated on the front page, so I apologize. I see that il0veb00ty is going to create a new thread and can help with that (unless he’s already done it). Otherwise, I can update this thread, but I know that’s going to take some time to incorporate the new SSFIV data.
What do you guys think? Either way, it’s time for me to dust off the eyepatch :china:
Wheres the Guy matchup info? it skips right past him lol
So, basically, holy shit Akuma runs circles on Sagat.
Thought I’d reiterate that well known fact.
I was having serious problems with guile just around footsie range. If I attacked he would beat my shit with a lame normal, jumping in is suicidal, throwing shots too close Is asking for it too. I figured out that the best thing for a scrub like me to do is to just play it cool and if if he likes to start low give him a standing forward the moment he ducks. Guilds low poke will whiff and he eats the machi geri due to the hotbox being deceptively towards his back foot. Usually guile gets sick of this and wants to jump in at any chance throw out some fake ts pokes and tu that shit. Requires more research.
On sim’s U2 is the weapon of choice , a trade of ex tigershot with any yoga fire = ultra 2 from fullscreen.
Now , anybody have matchup experience vs gen? His damn jump angle and hell of long reach make it impossible to zone with TS , and if you do the damn teiga gets you.
If anything Gen’s new jump arc makes him cake to AA. I take it you didn’t play Vanilla.
actually i did, it might be my impression but his 2 air kicks or whatever just have alot of reach and stop me from TU’ing
maybe im just AA’ing off time
