Obviously not many good Gief around, when good gief know how to jump in fierce (your anti air whiff or get beat) and kara grab you, you about to get sht in the face.
Still better than ST after all, ST had no grab animation, I think ST T.Hawk had option select if you don’t get grab you get DP, so you either DIE eating the DP, or DIE get the grab.
In my experience against Guile you don’t want to chase him at the start of the match. Let him boom and just focus them. Make him come to you and you will make the match up about 6/4. Once you put him in a corner start throwing SKs and MKs and HSs and he’ll stop using booms which will make the matchup 6/4 in your favour. Just don’t chase him and bait out flash kicks and you’ll win
Guile and Gief for sure for me. Online Hawks give me some trouble, too.
Really good Guys and Feis and Abels.
I don’t know. I don’t have enough experience fighting all the characters to get a good measure of my weakness.
After much thinking, my worst match up now is Guile. Blanka used to be hard, but to beat him you just need to learn how to be more offensive.
Guile, Honda, Gief, Guy, Seth. Guy and Seth because I don’t have a lot of experience against them.
Seriously, if you don’t have a local scene you can get to regularly it’s tough to get matchup experience against anyone besides shotos and Balrog.
Do you live in SoCal?
No, I’m an Oregonian.
Balrog man all they seem to do is jab me out of everything and do the same combos ending in headbutt
I throw them out some times but if I guess wrong I eat a red focus combo into ultra
My worst matchup? Guile for sure. But really good players who know what they are doing. So Ryu, Juri, Seth etc. Can all be my worst fight if in the right hands.
