Probably has already been found but I just found this while screwing around.
(Against Hugo, midscreen only) Cmd grab st.lp cr.mp st.mp xx LK DP U1
I was going to try a lot of those command grab setups when i got home tonight but nice find.
If you’re already doing it, see if Decapre has a similar hitbox as cammy and do cmd, cr.mk xx lk upkicks
Yeah Decrapper has an extremely dumb recoil animation. After command grab (mid-screen) you can’t cr.MP, fst.MP her. EX grab/shes cornered you can but you have to use MK kicks. cr.MK xx LK kicks whiffs. cr.MP, cr.MK xx MP Lunge only I guess. cr.MK xx HK Kicks works though. The shoto variant (cr.MP, fst.LK xx HK Kicks) whiffs.
Fellow yuns im having issues with sakura, once i get cornered i get mauled by her. How can i approach this match up?
don’t get cornered by her.
Seriously though, shes rough with her annoying pressure while cornered :\ blocking for days
Lmao, its literally a matchup that gives me nightmares i cant deal with her x/
Pretty standard Yun MU…get her playing the ground game (pay attention to her cr.MK range) and dive kick when you see the chance. Go crazy when you knock her down. Like really crazy. If you’re stuck blocking then eat the throw instead of eating a counter hit into lolcombo. You’d have to deal with the mix-up either way but at least now you have DWU. If Sakura is AAing your dive kicks consistently then you need to change up the timing.
If all else fails, watch Kazunoko.
whoever said hugo is hugely in yuns favor is delusional
i’ve never ever been SPD’d out of reveral upkicks so many times in my life, his armor is so wonky
I don’t know what to rate the matchup but Yun has no clear advantages. One mistake can nearly lead to death in this matchup and/or terrible positioning for Yun. air ex-command grab from Hugo will blow up reversal upkicks fyi.
Well actually starting to think it may be worth having a pocket anti-hugo character just in case. Still getting used to playing again which means breaking a ton of bad habits, but I see that match up being a pain in the ass for sure.
Thats y i keep a pocket rog just for grapplers…i played about 3 hugos day one and it is a very difficult match for yun…
Just wanted to put down some new character hitbox notes real quick
cr. mp x 3, far st. mp works on Rolento(standing), Elena(standing, but because of how she shifts around it maybe impractical), Hugo(standing and crouching), and one other one I believe(at work so I don’t have my notes with me)
cr. mp x 3, cr. mk works on Hugo as well as cr. mp x 2, far st. mp after command grab
As was mentioned in a previous post Decapre’s hitstun animation makes some combos not work. For example dive, cr. lp, close st. lp, cr. mp, far st. mp/cr. mk won’t work because of this
Also, when I played against Hugo, I found that far st. mk stuffed a ton of his stuff. So there is that. Maybe getting into ranges where you can take advantage of that to setup things will help? I don’t know cause even then it seems bad
Quick post up here vs Elena
Elena cannot do any strings xx lp/mp/hp mallet slash vs twins. If she does, you can whiff a close st. hp on reaction to this which doesn’t hit, but it does make the mallet smash whiff on the other side granting them a full punish. This is consistent anywhere on the screen as well. EX Mallet still hits, but if you block it, you can punish that.
I’ll throw a video up in the video thread to show this later today
So a question to all the yun veterans. How’s ultra yun’s matchups looking like?
Did some of your bad matchups get better/worse? Did some good matchups become harder?
How do the new characters stack up against Yun?
When I played most people were trying out the new characters and (to me at least) Poison seems like a struggle her projectile really good at keeping yun out, cr.HP is a really good anti air. And this might be because I don’t fully understand the match up yet bet her footsies and pressure also seem really good.
Still a little vague because haven’t had enough time on the game. But certain matchups like Sagat are definitely easier overall. The higher tiger shot nerf and being able to have real safejumps/crossups again him with the jf.mk buff makes the mixup after knockdown even better. The matchup is still in Sagat’s favor but your options as Yun are better. Most of the grapplers are still rough to play against.
I like to fancy myself as an Yun specialist, but I think I may need a sub for T hawk. I have no idea how to handle this guy. New CS is too much for my Yun.
Poison seems to do really well at keeping Yun at bay. But once he’s in, it’s pretty much lights out. And cross up DK stuffing her mediocre DP, makes it that much better to stay in.
I usually try and stay around 3/4ths screen vs Hawk if I can and try to whiff punish laggy normals or poorly spaced spires.
normal xx lp spire are not usually true block strings, so try and train yourself to punish the gap with lk dp/U1.
That’s just general stuff though
I’ve been using rolento for hugo. Definitely picking him up as a second main or pocket or whatever you like to call it. I beat a few hugos with yun but they were clearly new players. As soon as I joined a decent endless lobby I was getting destroyed by hugo so I just went to rolento. Hugo seems bad for yun.
The tiers on eventhubs are so messed up right now, why would they release them so early? Yuns matchups are dumb as hell, so many favourable matchups that should be even and some even matchups that should be unfavourable. They almost have sagat in our favour and almost 20% of voters think we have a 6-4 matchup against balrog.
I can’t tell if this is just trolling or if people are really stupid. I can see people getting outplayed online and then instantly assuming it was a bad matchup and then voting.
Played a few sets against my friend’s Guy and his E.Ryu.
I was thoroughly trounced, So I have a few questions for you guys.
When fighting against this Guy in particular, he would do target combo into run stop, can I punish that with anything? He would also do jump lights, and do the elbow drop alot. How do I combat that?
