Yang Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Just grind it out in training mode. Seriously.
At first I couldn’t even do it if I would try my fastest while abusing shortcuts.
Now I can do the full motion with ease and it feels like I’m actually inputting the ultra slowly.

But to be fair, compared to other characters this FADC ultra is VERY strict.

i have a shortcut. so fuck that. : )

yeah i guess i just have to practice it.

thanks guys, really loving Yang so far :slight_smile:

I’m right in saying that only HP Rekka fadc ultra / HP Rekka fadc cl mk works right? I can only ever get it to work with HP rekkas.

Yep. You can only combo off of an HP rekka.
Each rekka also has it’s own hit stun, so if you do an LP or MP rekka, then the second rekka you do is an HP, you will be able to FADC>combo.

Oh wow didn’t know thats how it worked. Is that the same for other Rekka type moves aka Abel’s change of direction / Feis rekkas?

Abel’s second and third rekkas are always the same regardless of which punch you use. Fei’s are similar to Yang’s, but I’ve never played him seriously, so I can’t say for sure how different the fadc is in application.

cant fadc fei’s rekkas. i think it only matters for trades in his case

*light bulb flickers

which gives me an idea for a trade OS with him

I meant can you start doing lp Rekka with fei and end with HP rekkas for more damage

oh. yeah. you can do that, and fei has similar setups to yang where you finish with a certain version for post KD cross ups and such

Does Yang have any really ambiguous setups after launch cancel into jumping normal. Hp into dash under , high low or command grab mixup is nice but it’s not as solid as some of Makoto’s crap.

And what shortcut are you using I always have trouble with slash fadc ultra and launcher walk forward ultra. Although not as much with the latter just not 99% consistent. I always get ex rekkas

What exactly is it that Yang struggles with opponent wise ?

Characters that churn butter

anything other than grapplers ? lol

How do you guys p-link Yang’s cr.lks?

A friend of mine who uses Sagat p-links using index/middle finger between the lk/lp which I find extremely awkward. I was in training mode a while yesterday and I think the most comfortable method I started using was thumb (lk) index (lp) method. It’s similar to just grabbing or crouch teching except I try to force myself to remember to drop my thumb first slightly before my index finger. Helped get the cr.lk p-links out more consistently.

Just curious as to what method you guys use.

I use the index/middle finger like your friend. It’s the easier method for me because that’s how I crouch tech.

isnt a cr.lk > cr.lk a 2 frame link anyways ?

Is it? I was under the impression that cr.shorts were 1 frame links.

Cr. lk has a 3-frame start-up and is +4 on hit.

Are yang and yun’s divekicks relatively the same thing ? or do they behave differently. I know Yun’s is easier to cross up with, right ?
