I’m not sure if it has been done (if I’m thinking about it it has), but what about using Piece of Mercury as AA? I’ll give it a go if it hasn’t been tried yet.
Also without and EX ST is back flip or block really are best option on wakeup?
If they jump in late, I jump and air throw on wake up. Other than that, with no meter, I have to LEAVE and regroup. So yeah…backdash…backflip…whatever. It’s unfortunate his flipkick sucks against most things.
How often are you guys actually using the Claw throw to reset your count? I still never do it, it only happens accidentally from when I do df df+p …
I’ve always considered it, but when the actual fight starts, I completely forget about it.
It’s not that I forget about it, I just think that it’s a really slow ass move and it leaves you open to something big.
The throw and mask remove are useless. AN OVERHEAD WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE.
Sorry. Food poisoning…feeling shitty.
I never do it. Provided he can even lose it when he absorbs attacks with focus (:sad:), I figure it’s gonna fly off at some point anyway. Although I probably should try to use it since a lot of people back off of my Vega once I start up the shenanigans. Jab throws it behind him right? Anything else is just begging to die I would think.
If you think losing it when you focus is bad, you don’t want to know how many times I’ve lost it while TECH THROWING. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? :sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:
WTF!? TECH THROWING!!? Now that is seriously retarded.
Also remind me again the purpose of doing his Claw Throw move, what do you mean by reset?
Lets say for the sake of argument, if you block 10 hits, you lose the claw.
Lets say you blocked 9/10 hits.
Throw the claw, pick it up.
You’re back at 0/10 hits.
Definitely need to start remembering to do it when I get fullscreen
Piece of Mercury is seriously useless. Not even as an AA? Wtf?
On the plus side I’m hitting the ultra after FA on a semi regular basis without dashing. I’m not sure if this is a quirk in training mode, but I can hit the ultra after FA without the back dash and using the far wall.
Edit…it was hitting without the dash because I had my dummy in the corner. At mid screen without the dash it misses, but hits with the back dash.
Still having problems with Blanka/Bison. In kinda outta melee range, Blankas always to electrocute and i have problems to switch to cLK->Flip Kick, because I NEVER use cLK :X
And everything, gnah. You know what I mean 
Wrong. EX Izuna is character specific. I’ll compile a list later today.
is there anything i can do after my walldives get blocked or tech’d or anything at all gets blocked by bison and i eat a full sissors. not really sure if i should stay mid range and just poke or do something different, i get owned by all Bison’s and Blanka’s >.<
That’s kinda interesting. Are you crossing up with the walldives or are they backdashing/teleporting to make you land in front of them? Unless the charge moves come out the other way after they do them when you cross-up. I’ve never seen that before (but would sure as hell use it since I play Bison also). Against them, I would only attempt a walldive EX’d in a combo or i’d already be in the middle of it by the time they can move so i’d end up on the other side and screw their charge up. Are you claw-swiping or going for izuna drop?
That would be awesome
Well, on Gief it certainly hits I think.
If ANYTHING of mine gets blocked, I either jbHP, cMP, or Focus attack, depending on what kinda player I fight and what I’ve done so far. You can try focusing Bison since they will probably do scissor, and you can try to tech one hit. For Blanka, you’re on your own there. Why are you walldiving Blanka anyway? Shame on you. =P
Is it true that removing the mask increases damage?
After I stunned someone (I get overly aggressive against giefs when I know he’s scared of my ability to keep him out, bad idea, I know), I removed my mask, and did the FA, dfHK, exWalldive to Izuna, and I think it did a ton of damage (compared to normal), plus since it ended in a throw, there was enough time to pick the mask up again.
You really shouldnt be jumping or Wall Diving around againts Bison, I tell you as a Bison player myself, you are gonna regret it. Head Stomp beats Wall Dive and jumping for free, and EX Head Stomp takes MASSIVE damage.
As for my tip try going for the Izuna Drop instead of the Claw Slash, it will help you gain momentum.
Personally I don’t think losing your mask is worth the risk, the boost is not even that high compared to your low ass stamina without mask.
Also I don’t know who thought it was a good idea having Vega throw his Claw to reset the hits it takes for it to fall.
That is all…ranting ends here.
nah usually i either cross up on the other side of him or acually claw swip. but that stupid head butt gets me a lot of the times. Should i stay on the ground and stay mid range and just poke?
