Awesome matches Iggwins, you should main viper and Bison, they suit you well. Tonight's matchup was all random. I got to go to bed, because tommorow is eating day lol
I think you could use all three, maybe 1 shoto punisher. Can't you use air ball flip throw thing with cammy for fireballers? You could use reaction. (right when them move, do the flip thing. I use it to predict when i use a move with some sort of invincibility.(ultra or srk)) You could make an encyclopedia to sfvolt with the info you have!
Ok, my fault...good games cyrus Thats a fast Zangief you have...I didnt see your name on TA, caught me off gaurd there.
Hooligan Combination. It's pretty useful, although whenever a bad shoto player encounters the unknown, SHORYUKEN! Anyway, it's hard to get them with it. Spinning Back Knuckle does it better, but EX Spiral Arrow/Super/Ultra does it best.
Its only useful if the opponent doesnt know how to avoid it. It can catch people off guard every now and then though. I think the reaction is 'shes coming from the air, blocl high'. But after a few times they can tell the difference. And spinning back fist is basically completely useless. You cant punish fireballs on reaction, you have to guess. And its super slow so they can just hit you out of it. Only time i use it is to chip zangiefs if they dont know how to stop it, or to go through point blank supers and ultras from ryu.
Focus on knockdowns and getting him in the corner. Blanka has two big advantages in his speed and the fact that almost any attack that Blankas use will knock Dhalsim down. A third advantage is that Blanka does a ton of damage against Dhalsim. A lot of Dhalsims fall into patterns of attack and escape and it's important to learn them. If they jump-teleport in with an attack and then teleport away again, be ready with Blanka balls. They can punish immediately after the jump-teleport in (the very brief frame(s) before Dhalsim's air attack comes out) or during his teleport away (since ground teleports have a lot more recovery time). Ex Blanka balls should also be used often from full or close to full screen if the Dhalsim ever uses yoga fire. This may end up trading damage if Blanka lands in the fire, but it's a great trade for Blanka. Like most opponents, at less than full screen, Blanka's slide is great to punish fireballs. If you pick up the particular Dhalsim's pattern, the diagonal Blanka balls are also perfect to punish with. As for punishing teleport, Blanka can do it with Blanka balls (be charged and ready to punish as often as possible), electricity (this one gets me fairly often) and to some extent standing heavy punch (I think this is the one that attacks upward). Lastly, keep staying in Dhalsim's face, especially in the corner. Confuse him as much as possible and cross him up, which will have the effect of making his teleports not work as planned. He'll sometimes end up teleporting right in front of you (in a ground teleport this is an easy punish) instead of the other end of the screen as he planned because you moved quickly from his left to his right (for example). That's all I can think of off the top of my head but I hope it helps.
Yeah I been trying to main just Bison recently but I keep getting bored and using other characters lol. Deep down though I really want to main Balrog, the most fun character to play in the whole game imo...LOVE playing Balrog, but I lose way to much with him so f that lol, so for now I'm rolling with the Dictator.
You got that right about Balrog, he is unpredictable and can caught people off guard. I am also trying to main the dictator, I will hit you up to practice when I have time
I was maining Sagat and Dictator... before it was cool... Anyways, I was just trying some stuff out online and so many people are caught off guard with an EX Thunder Knuckle, as it goes straight through their fire balls. It's pretty cool, although I rarely use it, because there are better was to do damage. I just wish that Viper got the Viper Elbow (overhead), as it would help a bit.
Cool Man I've been wishing for that for the longest, after every update the first thing I do is go into training and see if Viper's got her overhead and if Bison can do empty Devil Reverse, even though I know its not gonna happen lol
Nice games vaceotyn. I just got out of the shower and my hands were too sticky to play so that second match I had to get something otherwise my game would have been pretty garbage. Your corner trap is a Bitch!
