Yun Match-up Thread

Key to beating garbage Yuns: get life lead, get to mid screen, buffer Ultra. All the garbage Yuns WILL EX Lunge at you and you can Ultra them on the way it.

That’s just the garbage online Yuns though.

They’ll also pretty much random jump and/or random dive kick at you.

But what do you do if they’re like “fuck it I’m just gonna spam palm for meter”?

get to about decent distant and lunge punch on palm recovery

Makoto goes 5-5 with Yun easy… if she gets hands on him he is beyond fucked. That, and j.HP’s amazing air priority nullifies divekicks easily. It would be in Mak’s favour if not for the fact that Yun hits just as hard. Ken, Rog, and Blanka (the patient, non-random ones) can hold their own as well.

Gief, T.Hawk, and Yang are pretty much the only matches in my experience where Yun is at an undeniable disadvantage.

-Gief: All your specials apart from LK Dragon Kicks (for anti-air purposes), and EX lunge punch are massively unsafe. Once Gief gets meter you have to be careful how you throw out Palms all he will go right through and you are in trouble. What makes this match bearable is Yun’s normals (st.HK, f.HP, st.MK, MP - HP target combo) are pretty good at limiting how well Gief can advance.

-T.Hawk: My vote is 7-3 in Hawk’s favour. Similar to Gief, but with added unpredictability becasue on EX Spire and EX Dive. His 3 frame st.LP is a great poke against Yun and with his st.HK he controls mid-screen space like a champ. Your footsie game must be on point or he will walk you into the corner without hassle. If he gets you there, you have a MASSIVE problem.

Vs. Cody- Around 3/4 screen do not try to dive kick over rocks, the new distance on his mk rk will punish you easily on reaction. Once you do get in close stay in but be weary of dive kicks, it seems like all of cody’s standing normals work really well against them. If your opponent is cr. teching alot, ch. mp into shoulder will blow them up all day and he really doesn’t have an answer for it. Also, ch. mp will punish if you block a badly spaced criminal upper.

Hmmm i dont think T-Hawk is 7-3 but ill agree in 6-4, a good yun can work that much up if not to impatient and risking a lot of grabs.

Did some testing vs Bipson’s EX pc: you can always punish with LP or MP Lunge, or** LP or EX Shoulder**. You can also punish with U2, but it has to be delayed a little (ie: non reversal timing); also you won’t get all the hits. The first hit should whiff and the rest combo so you’ll be getting 450dmg punish. If you want to punish with Genei Jin, you’ll have to use LP Shoulder.

Blanka is owning me =! Any tips?

i’ve been having problems with blanka.

Can anyone help me with the Chun and Cammy matchups? I hate does characters

Play the match very lame. I try to get the life lead very early on and just turtle it out and react to him, I use Palm to build meter outside of his slide range. Fake palm is also very good for baiting out Blanka Balls. FP Lung also punishes all his Balls(lol). I try not to ever dive kick on him because he can easily react to it with EX Upball. I also find playing footsies with him risky. I think if you have in the corner and he tries to EX Rainbow Roll out you can CS.MK into LP lung on reaction.

Has anyone found a safe jump set up with Yun yet?

makoto’s s.mp and dp seems to be really great vs divekicks.

what do you do against guile? I really lose my patience vs him, i dont really know how to play the matchup. any help?

^ read 8 posts above.

how is he at a disadvantage against Yang?

From limited personal exp, bad against Gief and Sagat’s stand RH kills dive kicks.
I’m finding it tough against Yangs too.

This has been working for me lately:

Punish all his balls with HP Lunge Punch
Use cr.MK xx MP Lunge Punch on his wake-up if you see he’s electricity-happy
Try to get him in the corner, use MK/HK dive kick to cross him up while avoiding most of his ball attempts, and tick into Cmd throw to reset his charge
I’m not sure but, I think a well-spaced/timed Palm will stop his short ball, throw attempts

if yun has a poor wakeup game,seth can be his worst nightmare then,at the moment i dont know how to punish his ex-dp kick on wakeup it travels so much distance the only thing i can think of is seth’s ultra 1,anyways,yun has to do deep divekicks in order to apply pressure,dks hitting head is a complete mistake,all punches except ex are punishable,so why is he considered a low-risk high reward character,divekicks are not instant like rufus can be easily punishable by dp on reaction.

How do I Beat the stupid character of EVIL RYU? dam online scrubs own me with him?

Watch my matches that I had against TFA Checkmate and his Evil Ryu
