Secrets don’t make friends D:
We’re all Sims, we’re all friends 
Japanese are the most overt about their tactics, they hide nothing and everything is discussed openly.
Granted they only really play in big arcades. But I think this is the major contributing factor of why Japanese are the best; when information is out in the open for everyone, the entire community is enriched and benefits from it.
Quick question why do all the pros do instant air teleport mk mk light yoga flame? Isnt it better to do Instant air teleport mk hp medium yoga flame. Should i just copy da pros?
I was doing that combo for a while since it’s easier to do than the regular BnB and does more damage, but the problem is that b.HP tends to whiff on everything, whereas b.MK has much more range and it’s simply more reliable.
b.HP doesn’t whiff on everything… There’s just certain circumstances where the opponent will be pushed under you by the fireball. In this case, if you’re already in the animation for b.HP then you won’t turn to auto correct. b.MK on the other hand crosses up so there is no reason for you to miss the BnB if the fireball lands and you won’t be as vulnerable if it doesn’t.
wat do recommend. the bhp or bmk
I think Shawn made it as clear as it possibly can… Take your pick, sir.
it sounds like he said use both.
how safe is lk slide or cr. lk into light yoga flame? I recently saw the YHC Mochi vids , and he abused sometimes. Im assuming it catches people off guard which is why he uses it sparingly.
it looks hella safe imo and it catches jumpers
after EVO guys i will show you some cool setups and even make a video, but for now keep many secrets and try to get out of my pool in EVO. 256 man pool with 2 winners getting out is hard, even harder when i only use sim.
just one thing i want to share with my fellow sim players, if an opponent is focusing near you just short slide super, free damage. If you don’t have super just grab the animation.
LK slide into flame is not that safe at all, especially against players who mash. Most good players wont mash and will just defend, which gives it the illusion of being safe. It’s not a true combo so it can be interrupted easily. You can be hit with almost every ultra, a fuckload of EX and even normal special moves, etc. It IS a good tool, but like anything it has to be used sparingly and smartly. If you cancel lk slide into flame/fire every time or even the majority of time, you will end up paying for it.
I, like the rest of us lazy ass sim players, await anxiously.
lk slide to fire or flame is not something you should abuse, as you can get reversaled out of either and even jumped in on for free. It’s a good thing to use, but mix in doing nothing or canceling into teleport as well.
i never said short slide flame or fire, i said super and it is 100% safe and gives you good damage if you have the execution up close.
Well there’s a hole in the block string which means most characters can probably EX DP through it (and god knows what else). But yeah the flame breaks focus so thats pretty good.
I use to abuse short slide into flame and then my local players started punishing me for it. I stopped using it almost completely and now when I need to create a bit of space they tend to get hit my it more likely than not, probably going for a throw tech after the short slide.
Shawn, it’s time to begin to use short slide xx flame MP (or EX) as bait
You’ll be safe (-1 on block) and ready to punish their no punishing moves lol
I have Chun Li focusing and backdashing my slide super, between the short slide and the super, all the time!
didn’t know where to put this. I’ve just got myself an arcade stick and I got most of my sim moves down in a couple of hours in training, however I just can’t seem to get the medium kick to yoga flame down?! since it’s pretty crucial I was wondering if you guys have experienced the same… I can get the yoga flame motion to work flawlessly without the medium kick cancel and on the pad I can do the IAT BnB combo almost 100% so I thought I would know the timing of it. This is pretty annoying since most of the transition from PAD to stick was easier than expected.
Do the b.MK -> LP yoga flame cancel over and over again, each time do the lp yoga flame later and later until you find the right timing, it’s generally a bit later than people’d think.
