"Your fighting is predictable..." Yang Match-up Thread

That’s how you deal with it, but the idea is to show it to them and then once they realize that a reversal gets them nothing but U2, they’ll actually try to block it instead. Oh and on that match, I’m just gonna assume that because it’s PSN and the connection isn’t always the greatest. There were a few opportunities you dropped. Lack of AA’s but that’s probably because it’s online and the other thing is you never punished ex psycho crusher with EX rekka. I go for it every time if I don’t jump back to beat it

Yeah it wasn’t the best connection and my stick is kind of breaking on me. I didn’t know EX rekka could punish EX psycho. I usually just sweep it if they space it bad. I can’t remember if I’ve ever tried to EX roll or U2 to punish it either. I used to be a lot more conservative with meter when I started learning Yang, but EX rekkas are beautiful.

if you dont stand point blank then u2 will also punish…u1 can also punish but u have to stand further away so it isnt the most useful

I pick U2 vs Bison, but it’s a lot harder to apply as a punish than say vs Blanka or T Hawk. I most often combo into it. I really need to be more mindful when Bison wants to EX Psycho out of the corner to U2 punish him, but I think most often times if I get Bison cornered, I don’t even have ultra available.

U2 doesn’t punish EX Psycho if you’re point blank with him in the corner, at least I could never get it to work. Works point blank everywhere else I believe, but such a pain since that’s that most obvious time to EX Psycho.

For sure. What’s worse is there’s no definitive good OS for Yang vs Bison. EX Headstomp beats OS LK DP. Which makes me so mad because that’s the worst reversal option Bison has.

i usually dont even try to OS bison. i just try to bait and hope he did something punishable. tho you can remove some of the guess work by killing his back charge with a teleport while he’s down

Really? I love option selecting the crap out of the Bison players I fight. Granted most of them in my experience aren’t very good, using typical online shenanegans. I digress though, it can be a mixed bag for me. I like picking ultra one for the damage and potential punishing. I also try to stay within certain ranges so I can focus the last hit of scissor kicks/footsies/slides and punish, but I try to use it sparingly. There’s also anti dive kick OS with Ultra one for massive damage, and anti teleport roll kicks. For ex psycho crusher I usually just safe jump it, but I didn’t know you could punish it with EX rekkas; I gotta remember that. Head stomp gives me the most trouble, I usually just jump back HK on reaction. It does a fairly decent job up close, and for some reason heavy roll kicks is good at beating out full screen head stomps and such, at least in my experience. I gotta hit the lab and test it…

the large large large majority of the cast cant cover all his (not sure if anyone can).

…how are you doing an anti divekick ultra against bison. Also if you are focusing at a range where you can beat the lats hit of SK, you are not in footsie range unless you play idiots who slide at you from half screen

Exactly, i just try and kill charge which limits wakeup options in and of itself.

Y’all have to play better Bison players. I play against random online warriors and will murder them even though the match is in Bison’s favor. But offline versus Tampa Bison? I can barely touch him. At CEO winterfest I think I got one round.

I know it’s not the best and it’s not an OS, but one of my tactics against Bison on wake-up is to simply walk after him for teleport, it loses to normals and EX Psycho so the damage punishment he gets on you having a bad read isn’t that significant, you just lose momentum.
Alternatively if I feel he likes to vary between EX Psycho and teleport I try jumping forward just as he gets up as it’s safe from the first and counters the latter.
Of course these become harder to pull off against the better player you face, they’re rather confident actions, but sometimes even with Yang I think you need to expose yourself in such a way.

relevant to the discussion. 6 months old

Dogura wins that set 13-9. Match-up looks pretty even.

I don’t see any Yang’s using anti-teleport option selects… I’m pretty sure ex. roll kicks and U2 work, just not sure how they’ll work against his other wake up options.

What do u guys do against gen

Don’t play footsies vs him

Im starting to realise that. Is he our worst mu

lol. no. not at all.

just try to stay on offense vs him. go out of your way to be aggressive. frame trap him to hell

this does 2 things:

  1. takes advantage of his poor reversals and lack of 3 frame normals
  2. makes him more likely to burn bars on ex DP, and limits his access to his super

you dont want him to get his super

His s.lp is 3 frame and so is mashed hp hands. Just nitpicking.

Thanks i no its not our worst mu i was just really salty
