Thanks for the tips, fellas.
And it looks like Scrub GAF has flourished without me. ;_; I'm so proud.
Anyways, what characterizes BB (and what I look for in a character) is freedom of movement and attacks that naturally chain together. Ibuki fits the bill, for the most part. If she could air dash, BAM! Perfection.

target combo that whiffs inexplicably, bad reach, subpar/slow pokes, bushin flip too slow, bushin flip elbow beaten easily and leaves you in no distinct advantageous position on hit or block, ultras are hard to land, overall bad footsies and slow walkspeed. In alpha Guy wasn't amazing but was dangerous when played properly. standing forward had amazing reach and priority, standing strong was a counterhit monster. A3 standing fierce was TOO GOOD. i dont think guy's a bad character..all his 'fixes' are simple things. He just didnt translate well to the SF4 engine or the team didn't care enough to work out the nuances.
Ggs to Axis and DBJ. Sorry for my abrupt departure. my salty friend aka the one using the lame balrog rushed me out of his apartment. DBJ, kinda salty about those Sak matches but got my revenge in the Cody mirror haha. Your Bison is nice though, very nice spacing. Look forward to playing you guys again.

Makeup Jesus kick all day long, no combos, whiffed ultras...seems at least a little scrubby, no offense to the players.Threi said:

Guy is one of the worst characters in SSF4. If you hold back and randomly hit fierce when he tries to bushin flip, you could probably beat him with the majority of the cast. I know Honda sure as hell can D:
His s.MP->HP chain has strange properties and whiffs when it looks like it should hit, etc. He's just riddled with small, stupid problems. As someone else said, Guy wasn't even top tier in Alpha.. but at least he made sense.
Threi said:
I don't see Chun back dashing every wake up / recovery, so.. definitely not scrub level there.

That Cody was indeed scary. But the Bison match-up is awful for Cody.
And my Sakura keeps her place as the best in the world.

Here's the video of me vs AZ Greg where I some how double perfected him.

Hahah. Let it be known that this is not a true representation of all our matches. He consistently gives me the business. I get so happy when I bump into another Vega in ranked matches though since I have all the experience from playing you so much.

Chun mirror and Rog mirror are the two best matches to gain a feel for footsies with.
Funny that Rufus isn't played much online, as he's easily one of the most common characters I run into in tourneys.

gg Greg for those, what 3 games we had? I had to split.
So little time to play SF this past few weeks

Did I actually go on a winning streak (2-3 games lol) against AZ Greg? This is amazingly hard to believe haha, especially using Cody... feels good..sooooo good.
And there goes my win streak haha. Feels like I'm finally going toe to toe with the masked warrior though, very close matches all the way through. Love it. Good stuff Greg

Pretty sure you're DJ is better than mine and I would say I could beat them using him. I've played against some of these guys to make sure they are what they say they are.
Ran a clinic on them last week and wasn't too serious most of the time. One of the matches, I was gouken and did his no damage throw all day. Another match, I just stood still for two rounds.Lost Fragment

Oh, I wasn't being all smug about it if you got that impression. I actually used to have a difficult time against both characters as well, but after spending a few sessions against players who were good with those two and knew what to do against Dhalsim, I feel they're more manageable now.the_log_ride said:
A little of both, personally.Rentahamster said:
I've had it succeed regularly against Demon Flips (only the follow-up dive kick makes it a tad harder to land), even when Akuma is almost at point-blank in the air by the time I inputted Ultra II, but you have to get a bit familiar with the spacing or timing of it in some cases. Auto-corrected Shangri-la's also have its uses to deal with Akuma's cross-up shenanigans provided you can pull it off consistently (I know I can't) and it also works against air Tatsu's, whether they're careless or used as a cross-up (which is trickier to land). I think Shangri-la also connects after a blocked fierce sweep if you do it fast enough (kind of like Dhalsim's Super) and I assume it'll come in handy if you predict a teleport, but here's the kicker:
you can also use it to grab Akuma through air fireballs at certain distances!
Anyways: I didn't use Shangri-la all that often in the following practice video's which are from a few weeks back, but maybe they'll give some idea as to when Shangri-la might or might not connect. Also: I wouldn't say I'm great in the Akuma match-up, but I like to think I have a decent enough understanding of it to not get steamrolled by 'em unless I'm already that much worse than the other guy to begin with.

And my Sakura really wants to test my patience sometimes. Sometimes she doesn't want to do her links, and sometimes she does. Why are women so difficult. V_V

I don't know why people are laughing at that.. generally a standard sign of a scrubby Chun is when they backdash for their lives. Particularly popular online.. same with Rose. I played a Rose once who got option selected to death because they had to back dash every single wake up.

Well practice the SRK And FADC first.
When you SRK hit FA and -> at the same time, so you only have to input another -> afterwards.
This helps prevent the missed dash.
If this goes well, you have ample time to Ultra.
Why are you using ex SRK?
hitsugi said:
Backdashing is one of her main tools. It in no way means you are a scrub player. She, along Rose, have the best backdashes in the game. Why not use them when the need arises? That would mean that you using ultra means you are a scrub. See what I did there? It's the same thing. It's a tool. Chun doesn't have the best wakeup game in the world and many people bait EX SBK. It's better to backdash and use your footsies. Or what, do you expect everyone to just stay in the ground waiting to get hit or thrown off?

While that's putting it bluntly, I said I could see how Mago would figure the general level in the US is lower when they see a Chun player back dashing every wake up / recovery in top 8. I think Art called me on stabbing Shizza with that remark, but I said it is what it is and people dropped it because the whole Shizza thing is a joke in the first place and shouldn't have been taken this far :lol
Granted, we also had an Akuma (JR) that beat Tokido and plenty of people have observed worse things about JR's play style but I guess Shizza has a stronger fan base or something.
Relix said:
No kidding. I'm aware that they have the best backdashes in the game, but you're missing the part where I say that's what they do almost every wake up. Good Chun and Rose players do not backdash THAT often on wake up or they'd just get swept to death.

No worries, mate. I just need to get more familiar with dem matchups, and just work on my defense in general.
But I do love grabbing akumas out of his air fb. 'Gotten a lot of wtf messages from that :lol

hitsugi said:
Gotta disagree. I use backdash as Chun Li a lot, but mostly because my offensive game is weak and it gets me out of up-close situations. It all depends on the player. Some would rather backdash and zone, using Chun's large reach to their advantage rather than her mix up. It's all a matter of preference imo.

Back dashing in general is a good idea in SF4; everyone uses it. I say it becomes scrubbish when people back dash 24/7, shizza gets brought into the mix with a completely unrelated discussion, nuff said.
To say back dashing is a tool so doing it a majority of the time is a good idea would be like me saying I should wake up teleport backwards / fierce DP with Akuma every wake up. It's too general of a statement.

As of this point. you have 2 and a half days (11:59 saturday) to finish your seeding battles. remember to save your results for all 7 matches before turning them in. if you havent played someone from your pool yet please get in contact with them (this only applies to XBL pools 3 and 4 and all 4 PSN Pools)

This doesn't sound right but I will try it out because I usually have to pause right after the dash, or else the Ultra whiffs or I get only a couple of hits.
