The Official Street Fighter IV Thread of FADCing a Stranger in the Alps

In my experience, I have a harder time against Giefs who spam lariat/command throw then Giefs who play more technical, well that's when I rush down. I'm almost always rushing down or pushing the pace so it's kind of difficult to play a Gief who does random shit. Everytime I jump in they're either doing circles for a command throw or mashing all 3 kicks/punches for lariat.

Like some of the other guys, I'm not patient and I want to rush his shit down and stomp his ass for using those kind of tactics but it doesn't always work out. The funny thing about facing these mashing Giefs are that I'm almost always kicking there asses until they land random Ultra. Which is the cause of most of my losses against Gief players.

You're playing reaaaallllyyyyy bbaaadddd gggiieeeefffs. Jumping in on Gief is suicide, because he'll do crouch lariat trade into ex hands which gives him completely ambiguous 50/50 crossup into gief mixup.

I know they're really bad Giefs, that's why I'm jumping in on them. I test them to see if they know about crouch lariat. If they don't then I'm crossing them up all day. Anyways, because of that I can jump in on them which leads to the mashing of lariat/command throw as soon as they block the jump in attack.

This is just random online games with scrubby players, including myself. So don't expect much from me or most opponents that I talk about. But if they do know about crouch lariat then I play footsie. Basically all I do is cr. forward into fireball and anti air jump ins. It must frustrate the hell out of them.

Anyone trying to jump in on him when they can see he has Ultra II is truly insane.

Or jump away from him too! SPD -> lp green hand to get back in range is going to be so much more effective when people are afraid to go to the sky.

Shame this doesn't really help against the Sagat, Seth, or Akuma match ups. Well, it kinda does but not as much.

You know, I wasn't even thinking about him being able to hit it if you're jumping away. I wasn't thinking his new Ultra was that dangerous. Apparently I was wrong.

Good Akuma also rushes down on Akuma. You can't jump back air fb Honda at all, it's trade with headbutt at best.

Also runaway teleport is a free headbutt also.

Jsut did a quick haunts vs the world test and people said it looked pretty solid. I assume the quality of the picture wont be as high as our other broadcasts since i am playing and streaming at the same time..

I'll probably log on in another hour or two for more matches if you guys are down..

I just played a Honda on live who just spammed his butt stomp all match. It was literally the only move the guy used. As Bison it was no problem. On wakeup I would teleport away and punish. When I switched to Guile, however, I had no answer. I was able to block the buttstomp correctly but all of my punishment attempts got stuffed. Any Honda gurus out there able to spread some knowledge on how to properly punish that move?

Focus, move outta the way. Buttslam is really the only way for the Honda to get in, everything else he does is a free airthrow for Guile.

Really, Guile should shit all over Honda in that matchup, it's just that if the Guile royally screws up, Honda rapes Guile just as hard. It's like a Hawk ST match somewhat, just with less execution needed on either side.

GG farms. You want to play Gief or is this sign you just waiting for dat SSF4?

Nah, there was a big tourney in dec, and two of the best giefs in the nation were entering. I played gief for a week beforehand nonstop for matchup preparation before the tourney, and just making sure I knew all his options and what the other players would probably be looking for.
