lol ok ill check it out.
So guys, what are some of Yang’s pokes? I’m used to Cr. MP being godlike being an old fei main but I can’t quite figure out exactly what Yang has for really good pokes.
is HP Slashes safe on block on the 1st hit ?
no
No just lp, hp can be punished by a lot of ultras
Best ground Pokes: Standing HK, Far Standing HP, Crouching/ Far standing MK, and Crouching/ Far Standing MP
Best Air-to-Air: LK, MP, Jump forward/Neutral jump HP, and HK
LP rekkas, first hit, is -2 on block (safe v. non-grapplers)
MP rekkas, first hit, is -4 on block (safe v. some characters)
HP rekkas, first hit, is -6 on block (punishable by many supers and ultras)
Some safe jumps I just found.
Forward throw ~ Take 2 steps~ Jump in with MP (3-Frame)
Forward throw~ Forward Dash~ Cross up MK (Beats reversal timed DPs)
Combo 3-4 jabs into Sweep~ take a half step back~ jump in with MK (3 Frame)
Sweep from anywhere within Standing LK range and closer ~ take half a step forward~ Neutral jump HP (3 Frame)
Anyone else wanna add to this?
So I should do my combos. lp rekka hp rekka hp rekka then (it case i mess up and the 1st hit gets blocked) ?jiz
What is the proper way to do it. Hit confirm it to 3x HP and use the LP rekka only wen your poking?
Matters how easily you can hit confirm.
I can easily confirm off of three hits. So, after doing cr.lp, cl.mp, cr.mk (combos; not easily, but works well as a frame trap as well) I know whether or not I should use LP rekka or HP rekka. If you can’t confirm off of three hits, I’d do LP HP HP.
Awesome thanks, what about anti air normals? Or was that what the light kick and medium punch were?
Also Chef Alt hopefully coming out soon get hype!
Anti-air normals are s.mk and s.hk. But, LK DP is nice.
When are Rekkas most effective?
This is the first time ive played a character like this, and im having a hard time implementing them. Are they best for punishing mistakes or what?
They are best for combos
Please check the updates on the combo thread.
No. They’re best for pressuring and hit confirmming. Use them as you would use a shoto’s cr.mk xx hadouken (only first hit and confirm the follow ups), checking space by buffering a normal into it. Also watch some videos of mago playing fei long, he’s master at controlling space with cr.lp xx rekka, and you can do the same with Yang with s.lk or cr.lk xx rekkas.
Hey guys, I’ve been playing Yang since AE came to consoles. I’ve been watching a ton of videos on youtube but…
Are there any Yang players I should be following on xbox live or psn?
floE, alouine and someone else I can’t remember go to leaderboards then yang and follow some of the high ranked players.
ah forgot about checking the leaderboard. thanks!
