I hate Karin too (stupid braindead EWGF) but I am thoroughly unintimidate by her V-Trigger mixups. Just watch out for the elbow, it telegraphs when she wants to crossup. Don’t get baited into trying to punish her backdash. (Tho I think c.MK might work? someone challenged me and I had to go right as I was testing that particular normal). I hear it can be a good combo extended when canceled into, but I haven’t seen anyone do that yet.
Shhh, be quiet before they remove all chain cancels as well. But I agree with the guy that said mediums and heavies should be a little better since they want us to commit to them for combos. Ryu’s st. HK should at least hit crouchers.
Playing against Karin is about as fun as pulling teeth. At least most of them don’t seem to understand that she has anything out of rekkas other than the crossup, but still.
Also I think I can definitively say that v-skill is fucking useless for antiairing. If it doesn’t just straight up lose to whatever they jump in with, they’ll just block the hit when they land (because it’s that slow) and then punish you.
I am done playing for the night, this version of Vega is all I wanted these past 7 years of SF4, I can zone and pressure to hearts desire thanks to the stance change.
I feel like the character who gave the most trouble was Mika, I cannot play footsies with her, she stuffs a lot of my pokes, my best bet was rushing down without my claw but one tiny slip up on my pressure I can say goodbye to a quarter of my health, she is that dangerous.
I wish I never played beta 1 ryu because I felol in love, don’t like him at all now, and his face looks crappies too don’t know if it’s lighting or what
