That would be Roshihikari. He (and Kuma, as well) are both seen quite a bit in Kyushu Taikai…also, just recently, he was on the winning team in a major 3-on-3 tournament at Shinjuku Sportsland. The team also had RX and Kurenai Haru (the crazy red Chun from SBO2), in case you’re curious.

Josh-TheFunkDOC: Did a little research and I got a vid with a “Roshikawa” who plays the same Yang/Style. I think that’s who you are talking about. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I got that vid from you. Either way, “Roshi” is a baddass Yang.
sundu: Awesome, thanks man. Don’t know why I didn’t check Karathrow in the first place. Now that I have I can only wonder “Why the shit are all of the palm thrusts exactly the same?!” Meh…
I was doing a little SAIII practice and I think I found out something interesting. I was trying to do Activate SA>{Mantisx2>Kick Chain}. For some reason I could only get the post kick chain mantis’ to connect if I started the whole combo with Jab Mantisx2. Otherwise the Fierce mantis’ (necessary after the kicks) would just go through my opponent. With timing, it works almost every time now. Here’s the final combo:
Activate SAIII>Jab Mantisx2>{Kick Chain>Fierce Mantisx1>Jab Mantisx1}.
I think the best combo is this one though:
Activate>{Fierce Mantisx1>Jab Mantisx1>Cr.Short}>Finish with full mantis’.
Also, a non SAIII kick chain gives you the perfect spacing to toss out a st.Fierce.
the question i have is the kick string blocked punishable by anything outside of supers? i know an unfinished one (ending with s.mk only) is for sure but i wonder if the 3rd hit is punishable or safe?
also dont sleep on c.feirce the things it pokes out is retarded, so retarded sadly, i dont really understand when it does what and the hitboxx. =/
this is a good thread for people asking questions now and openin threads about it =D
You CANNOT punish a MAX range Shoto sweep with Yang. I have tested this. Maybe Dreamcast 3S is so fucked up that my tests are also fucked. But I tested using REVERSAL EX Mantis and REVERSAL SAII. The results are…
drum roll
Most of the time they miss. They rarely randomly connect on reversal.
EX-Mantis whiff a sweep punish? This calls for investigation.
…that is of course, after I go buy Super Mario 64 for the third time in my life :p…
AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN FOR THE DS!!! :tup:
You can combo SA1 from the second mantis slash even…
Hi!
Newb Yang user here. I am getting the hang of him, but one thing still bugs me–does he have a cross up? I saw in one video where he did:
jump in forward–>dive kick, st strong–>EX Senkyuutai, st strong (reset), cross up with forward–>dive kick, some other hits…This was on Alex. i have tried the cross up many times, but still can get it. Is it really character specific, or is my timing that bad?
Thanks
I’m with you man, teleports are really good with Yang you just gotta use em right. I have plenty of setups that allow me to low short ex mantis or parry low and do whatever I want after a teleport. Sometimes when peeps are in the corner its good to wiff a mantis and do a low teleport and u will be gone when they try to attack but u will reappear right in front of them for the grab or whatever. Thats just one, but I’m not down for sharing that shit. Just keep thinking it sucks. lol
I’m outro
The best cross-ups for Yang (and Yun) and with the Dive Kick on wakeup (especially good in the corner.)
Work out a wakeup game with all 3 dive kicks. Sometimes crossup, sometimes just attack, and sometimes whiff with the short dive kick (and throw if they just sit there.)
SA2 Isn’t all that great. Using a rushdown of dive kicks and playing high low, while mixing up a few with command grabs into SA1 have won me 2 tournys and have placed me well in others.
The ones I won only had chun scrubs though. I need some better comp around here.
I only like sa1 for fireball users. wont combo after strong fierce back fierce combo either. Or low jabx2 or 3. That super sucks.
KO fiend I hear good things about your Yang.
Hope to play against you one day and collect your soul.
I keep them in a lil jar. This Lucifer guy said I can live 4ever once I aquire so many. :badboy:
I’m moutro
too much strategy…
sure thing, let me know who you are when you see me.
Is there anyway to punish or get away from a point blank throw attempt outside of jumping or a super? Example being, necro knocks down Yang, neither has a super, necro does a rndhse drill kick from up above, yang parries both hits. Necro lands and both are neutral and sprites are right next to each other. In this type of situation, I’ve been just throw attempting. But both chars just tech…
Necro grab beats command throw since its faster and you’re so close to each other. I’m pretty sure ex rising kick gets thrown. Is the only other option to jump up and immediately do a dive kick? Seems like jab and short both get thrown before the hit frames also.
You guys sure like that SA2 after his palm strike chain don’t you? Why? It does shit damage, and you can get out SA1 alot easier and connect it with alot of things.
SA1 = more options, for me, anyway. I can’t count how many times a command grab to SA1 has won me matches.
But shit, if SA2 is really better, I’ll start using it more. I know all the moves it links to, but it still doesn’t win me as many matches as SA1. I do have to be EX wary when wipping out slashes, but Yang builds meter fast, so it’s not that big of a problem.
Can someone run down a chart comparing SA1 to SA2?
It all comes down to the big stun portion of ex slashes. cr. short, cr jab, and stand short xx ex slashes. a few ex slashes and you’d be surprised at the stun
stun? Thats it? I know it brings alot of stun, but basing your SA on a stun moment that might happen?
Eh, to each his own I guess!
EDIT- its pretty well known
SA2 > SA1
Whoa…
Uh,
I mentioned I won 2 locals, and then mentioned that the comp sucked. Which is why I asked for SA2 tips. I wasen’t speaking like it’s law.
I’m no scrub. I started using Yang with SA2, but didn’t like it’s damage, and like I said before, the “SA1 is gone and thats it” argument is fine, but Yang gains meter fast, this has never been a problem for me.
If SA2 is better, then I should start using it more, thanks for your post.
But seriously, get whatever was rammed up your butt out, I didn’t even mean to come off sounding like a smart ass.
I just had some questions, and thanks to SRK, I’m probably going to get better.
Once again, thanks.
