There is at least this in the Ed match up
Ex RBG is very good in another usage.
Thisâs game is wake up jab is always good.
So why not change your jab to exRBG.
Sure, you have to ensure opponent is rushing to you when you wake up, in order to ensure the distance is close enough
or the most simple way is the ppp his fireball
Easy as hell

gief is still fun to play (this isnât beta footage)
[/quote]LOL damn good vid!!
Gief is fun but he has to work so hard,its damn frustrating. Love the Russian,heâs been my main since SF2 but playing him now makes me feel like a masochist!
Question. Did you Lariat that CA from Nash and still gain advantage after the trade off?? Happened so fast looked like he just bounced off Giefâs knees!!
EX RBG armor should be active and throw invincible on the first frame. That way it can act as a true reversal so the move is not completely useless. It shouldnât upset the âGief-is-top-5â crybabies too much, as you eat a full jump in combo if you guess wrong.
There is no invincible frame on wake up jabs but it always work.
Use your wake up RBG wisely and it can help you so much
I am not joking
lol, Giefâs counter works quite well against ED, not completely useless as I expected before
You speak the truth, comrade from Hong Kong.
In some ways, it can be better than a 3 frame jab, as you donât have to worry button priority, losing against medium or heavy buttons that beat you, as you will armour up.
Anytime, thereâs a 2 frame gap, you come in, with guns blazing.
I feel the same to be true of HP shoryukens after the patch, which become invincible on frame 3.
SFV is a game of âgapâ offense, and although, we have options against these 2 frame gaps, such as EX express and HP parry. The new HP shoryukenâs will affect our pressure also, as our offense has tonnes upon tonnes of gaps, especially on block. Anytime, thereâs 2 frames of gap, Ryu and Ken will be coming to the party! And they gonna love it. 
The wake up game of Gief is generally considered how suckball it is.
Opponent love to rush to Giefâs face when you fall down and then apply pressure. This is the best moment you apply wakeup EXRBG.
On the other side, I tried to use exRBG as âgapâ offense during my blocking, the result is OK but make sure you are close enough to opponent.
If you are a liitle bit far from them when you are blocking their gap offenese,
make sure to use âEXSPD/Lariatâ instead.
Both EXSPD/Lariat has reduced hurtbox during startup, fucking good to stop their offense if you are not too close to them.
j.lp is the best button in Giefâs air game, including air vs air & air vs ground.
I have no idea why this button is so fucking underrated and underused.
Buddies, try it out, it fucking good.
Wakeup jab is good if you have a 3 framer, not so good for us. Wonât wakeup ex.rbg get blown up by meaties every time? I do it sometimes too but as far as a reliable strategy itâs terrible imo.
I donât like it much either to be honest. It presupposes a mistake by your opponent (e.g. mistimed meaty) and it obviously doesnât work against neutral jump either. Terrible risk/reward ratio as youâll most likely eat a full combo when it fails and you lose a bar on top of that.
Itâs pretty sad when our best defensive option is hoping they mistime their meaties lol. Itâs just block/guess in this game.
No one can guarantee their offense able to meatly EVERYTIME, and it is the reason why wake up jab/EXRBG works.
Unless you get cornered and being pressured like the meat inside the hamburger.
When you are in mid-screen, or everywhere just in case not get cornered,
Catch the moment you think they can not meatly you, and send them a wonderful journey with Siberia Express.
Later on I will also study how EXRBG works on Dhalism or not.
[Knee hammer (can beat limbs sometimes)>exRBG] may work on some limbs spammer, but I am not sure at this moment.
Recently I have finally reached to Diamond, I think I should take a little rest in rank game, before I climb up to next level. =)
Congrats on getting to diamond Gemini. Thatâs quite a feat with this character.
Congrats Gemini. Iâm Ultra Platinum now, and Iâm going to wait until S2.1 before I play ranked again. Getting to Diamond will be a breeze with the new counterâŚ
And sure enough, five days after that post: https://gamespot.com/articles/sega-plans-to-revive-major-ips/1100-6450041/
Hopefully that includes a new VF.
