you have to bdash on quick rise

#

same with mk snake step

#

you can shimmy on back rise but that's tricky

if you want to have that kind of freedom otherwise, it's raw dr

#

ok let me correct

#

if they do immediate throw or "fast delay" (3f), you can't shimmy

#

if they do 7f, you can shimmy in all scenarios

copper yacht
#

It's not quite the same but you can delay tech on offense too if you're in a situation like that

regal girder
#

basically if they smart and delay tech, you can shimmy

copper yacht
#

I'm an instant techer

#

I love to instant tech man

regal girder

#

sthk doesn't reach

regal girder
#

even if they quick rise it doesn't reach?

weary widget
#

No, cause sometimes its too spaced out

#

Youre better off doing light chain or doing shimmy

young moth

#

A lot of shimmy setups don’t work if they insta tech

#

Especially on characters with slower walk speed

cedar wolf
#

What oki should I memorize for what moves?

modest fox
#

heavy lash knockdown gives a safejump, double dash or medium slide into a strike / throw or DR into strike / throw / shimmy iirc

modest fox
#

corner combo ending in stance dive (pop) gives you enough frame advantage to set up puddle

#

and you have a throwloop in the corner

cedar wolf
#

I dunno how to break the habit of me just doing coward crouch dive constantly

#

like a lot of people just keep walking back and I think they're gonna fireball but then they just bait it

hoary lynx
#

Have a training drill of Ryu doing nothing for 100f versus a Ryu doing a fireball and then blocking

#

And try to hit only on punish counter

modest fox
#

no, don't do that imo

#

forget about stance dive as a fireball punish

#

you can show stance if they fb a lot but you can't stance dive on reaction so just don't do it

gritty creek
#

yeah this is kind of a silly exercise when its not a fireball reaction check tool like say cammy sa3

hoary lynx
#

I meant stance... then reacting with dive

#

I used to do that when playing Aki

#

If they don't throw fireball you don't dive

#

I thought that was one of Aki's best tools against fbs, especially at low level

#

A bit confused after this conv

#

If commisioner's problem is that they're doing stance -> dive all the time, I think learning when to stop the dive or actually go for the dive is worth to do

modest fox
#

I dont think it's worth learning it because you have way less risky options instead

#

like learning to walk and block / parry

#

the way commissioner worded it makes me think theyre trying to do it on a read

#

I think it's just better to leave it behind altogether

slender bone
#

you have to already be in stance for it to be a reaction punish

#

which means you have to be comfortable with stance and breaking stance regularly

slender bone
modest fox
#

just saw Hikaru doing walk-up DI, surely I should copy this high level strategy 🙂

modest fox
cedar wolf
#

that's gonna be a strong urge to fight against

slender bone
#

well, you can continue to keep dying for it

modest fox
#

I used to do it a lot too

#

I used to autopilot stance into stance dive

#

I slowly replaced it with stance into stance kicks when I got the "urge"

#

after a while I just autopiloted less

#

don't know how or why

cedar wolf
#

hmm that might work

#

doing the kicks instead

cedar wolf
#

I also still do not understand my normal ranges

#

I am always getting out poked by everyone else

#

Like vs this terry

#

Actually Lily is a better example

modest fox
#

what are you poking with and what's your reasoning behind those pokes

cedar wolf
#

oh i never noticed you replied

modest fox
#

timezone difference so I reply a few hours late usually

cedar wolf
#

well I'm mad at a different thing now anyhow

modest fox
#

what're you mad about

cedar wolf
#

Kim three times in a row

modest fox
#

fair

#

I just got beat up by a ultimate master Kimberly in battlehub

#

had no clue what to do

cedar wolf
#

I'm starting to think I will never shake the bad habits I built up on this character

#

maybe it's not the right fit

modest fox
#

doubt that it's a character problem

#

you just gotta THINK about what you're doing when you're playing

#

the bad habits are bad choices or they're not even choices cuz they're habits

cedar wolf
#

I don't get how people do it

modest fox
#

do what

#

think?

#

you practice the things you can automate so you have more mental energy to think about the strategy

cedar wolf
#

yeah like right now I'm losing to an Elena just getting hit over and over, can't even focus

#

can't formulate anything

#

other than like 'just die you cunt'

#

I need to just force myself to study a replay, like, right now

modest fox
#

oh yeah for sure go look at a replay

#

do replay takeover

cedar wolf
#

not the elena because I ended up throwing the game, but maybe one of the kimberlys

#

how do I properly study a replay

modest fox
#

uhhh there's a command

#

?replay

#

!replay

cedar wolf
#

these rounds go so fucking fast it's too much

modest fox
#

?replayreview

granite ferryBOT
#

・Did I get hit?
→ Was it a jumpin? Why did I miss my AA (hitting a slow button, deer in headlights, etc)?
→ Was it Drive Impact? Could I have counter drive impacted, or parried?
→ What was the situation that lead to me getting hit?

・Did I hit them?
→ Did it lead into a combo?
→→ If it didn't, is there a combo I could have done, maybe with drive rush?
→ After that combo, could I have gotten pressure on their wakeup?

・Did I block something?
→ Are they plus? yes, keep blocking
→ 0 oB? consider challenging with fast button
→ -2? Challenge with 4-5f button or throw
→ punishable by lights?
→ punishable by mediums/heavies?

cedar wolf
#

oh it was updated for sf6

#

I guess I gotta go hit by hit on this

cedar wolf
#

alright I actually looked at a replay and saw some things

cedar wolf
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb2qTSZ1Abc
My review:
0:14 got hit because I did another st. mk when I was -2, so mashing
0:15 missed opportunity to either air-to-air j.lp or just walk forward and hit something like st. hk
0:19 I forgot to takeover for this, maybe I could have hit her when she flips?
0:22 got hit because I was -5 and I mashed cr. lp (no reason I did it) plus she was spaced out
0:25 Could have just anti-aired or slid instead of neutral jump
0:34 same deal, instead of DI

0:55 I think I was looking at dioscord chat and forgot to tab back in
1:01 could have done a better punish with st. hk here
1:05 dropped combo
1:13 since she was airborne due to the poison burst I could have done dr st. mp x hp lash for corner carry
1:15 again could have done an air-to-air or walk forward
1:27 lastly, again with takeover, instead of throw I could have done hp lash for that neutral jump

cedar wolf
#

think I will make it a goal to review 5 replays this week

slender bone
#

the point of review is to find common trends in your gameplay and work on them hard af so that they are no longer issues

cedar wolf
#

Yeah hence the goal here

#

Does my analysis make sense too

cedar wolf
#

still doing unsafe dives almost every match, but I guess I'm slowly whittling that down

regal girder
#

make dive less of a habit imo

#

if you KNOW they will fireball

#

then sure let it rip IF you are already in stance

hoary lynx
#

That's why I recommended training stopping the stance unless you see the fireball startup, that changes the way you see "stance -> dive" muscle memory to "stance > observe > either stop or dive"

cedar wolf
#

today went three games before I did an unsafe dive

modest fox
#

actually huge improvement if you were doing it every game before 👏

cedar wolf
#

I still don't understand how to actually play this game

modest fox
#

neither do I man

cedar wolf
#

without doing like crazy shit,

modest fox
#

for AKI just do fireball drive rush and ex flippy daggers

#

which is crazy shit but it works

cedar wolf
#

except this is hampering my ability to enjoy the game

modest fox
#

what is hampering it

cedar wolf
#

not knowing what to literally do

cedar wolf
#

not working on this cammy

modest fox
#

whats her response

cedar wolf
#

all her flippy shit

#

or knuckle

modest fox
#

fair, aki ifireball s very slow so easy for her to knuckle through

cedar wolf
#

nevermind I got her

#

but it feels like just work, on to the next ranked match

modest fox
#

you dont have to play if you dont want to

cedar wolf
#

I want to get good at the game

modest fox
#

i get that

#

I''m finally starting to get some enjoyment out of ranked again after a long time where i felt i wasnt improving

cedar wolf
#

and stop getting my ass kicked several times in a row

#

and win at locals

#

like not being able to get a grasp of the mechanics of the game = not fun

modest fox
#

yeah for sure man

slender bone
#

I dunno man

#

Why don't you understand the mechanics? You have to dig into that way more

#

The information is out there and you know how you learn things for yourself, you just gotta marry the two together somehow

cedar wolf
#

maybe I'm trying to articulate something in the wrong fashion

slender bone
#

entirely possible

cedar wolf
#

yeah I'm gonna ruminate

cedar wolf
#

yeah I don't understand when I should DI

regal girder
cedar wolf
#

alright my goal is to not be so reliant on fireball drive rush

regal girder
#

Good goal

cedar wolf
#

and not give gief players a runback

regal girder
#

Hmmm dont do that ThumbsUp

#

But yeah working on neutral has been doing wonders for me

#

I dont always use fb drive rush, but it is still there to threaten people

slender bone
#

I pretty much only DI against people who are burnt out

modest fox
#

you weren't in the games I watched

cedar wolf
#

you watched every single one of my games then?

modest fox
#

no

quartz cedar
#

What do I get off of Hwhip on a poisoned opponent both in the corner and mid screen? I assume DR into something, but Lwhip is not cutting it in both damage and oki

regal girder
#

Midscreen you could do dr st mp xx h whip but honestly if you can get m whip when they poisoned already, thats a better thing for midscreen

#

L whip detonate is ok, you can usually connect a sweep (D HP) after

cedar wolf
#

what buttons are generally safe to press in neutral

quartz cedar
cedar wolf
#

also I don't know how to fight JP as Aki without coward crouch dive

slender bone
#

Does that even work against anything he does?

cedar wolf
#

his ranged stuf

#

f

slender bone
#

but that only sort of works against ghosts

#

spikes still smoke your shit

cedar wolf
#

yeah I only use it on ghosts

#

and I parry the spikes

#

but then I forgot about his cane stuff

regal girder
quartz cedar
#

What do I do against a character that constantly rushes me down? I feel like the point of aki is to set up a fireball or do something from afar and then drive rush in, but if you’re against someone who’s always throwing out pokes and walking you down with good walk speed that game plan doesn’t exist anymore, and she doesn’t seem to have very good buttons for playing the honest neutral. Footies style of neutral against a chun or a Kimberly or cammy I just get poked to death

regal girder
#

She has great normals for neutral, which is composed of st mp, cr mp, st mk, cr hk etc., and yeah if fireball drive rush isnt working anymore, thats where you have to start relying on other things such as neutral

modest fox
#

crhk is pretty easy to whiff punish with

#

stmk is an easy confirm into stmp xx h lash which gets you a knockdown

verbal whale
#

but ye don’t underestimate aki’s neutral

#

stmp is a 5 active frame 6f startup move

#

her crhk is a warcrime

#

stmk is great since it doesn’t have any kind of extended hurtbox on startup

#

crmp being 7f now is great

#

and her 4f being stlk too is good for the range

#

also ye the ex flippy hands was a meme but not so much, you can just skip neutral with it and it’s very hard to stop

#

and you have light whip being an amazing move to throw out since if they try to counterpoke you and whiff you crumple them by being a bit lucky

#

and once they’re afraid of pressing to counterpoke they’ll try to jump on you to stop the whips and your antiairs are good with good reward

#

and that gives you options to setup your fireballs

cedar wolf
#

so how do I fight gief

#

like a general strat

#

they like to DI a lot

slender bone
#

you play a "zoner" in that matchup

#

and if he gets in, you pretty much lose ThumbsUp

regal girder
#

try not to rely on stance kicks on block against giefers

cedar wolf
#

what's the best AA for him considering they like to do the dropkick

regal girder
#

the usual ones

cedar wolf
#

alright nevermind

weary widget
verbal whale
#

isn’t the drop kick punishable on block

slender bone
#

the jump one

#

isn't that one plus?

copper yacht
#

If he does the hold and bounces off he's super minus

#

If he just taps it it's a regular j.hk

slender bone
verbal whale
#

oh he meant uncharged

cedar wolf
#

I can't really tell when it's the charged one

slender bone
#

It should not matter
Your anti-air would beat both

cedar wolf
#

I notice I tend to immediately do light lash after a throw tech

#

which makes people get jump ins on me

regal girder
#

this is a good thing you noticed this though, because if the opp tries to jump in on you after a reset

#

that's a free anti air for you, you can bait them into jumping

#

good that you noticed it yourself though

#

so now you can work around with it

cedar wolf
#

still hard to stop doing unsafe crouch dives

regal girder
#

try to not use it at all

cedar wolf
#

yeah but then I forget how to like approach

regal girder
#

then that should be what your focus is

cedar wolf
#

I've got like six different focuses

regal girder
#

can you name em for me rn?

cedar wolf
#

nah I made that number up

regal girder
#

well, do you have focuses that you've identified for yourself and want to work on?

cedar wolf
#

besides those two things previously mentioned?

regal girder
#

yep

cedar wolf
#

uh not tilting

regal girder
#

that's mindset related but anyways

#

you can start working on the previously two mentioned flaws, one which requires you to learn how to approach without the use of stance dive

#

and the other which has you learn about conditioning

#

you're gonna have to learn how to approach closer the old fashioned way, walk and block

#

stance dive is a good anti fireball option, but if you keep trying to brute force it, chances are you're prolly throwing rounds away purely cuz of that

#

the other is easier, after any reset just keep in the back of your head "this guy is likely to jump after the reset" so that's your cue to anti air that

cedar wolf
#

I also throw tech too much and get shimmied, parry on wakeup, mash on wakeup, try to jump on wakeup when cornered, keep getting my normals interrupted by other normals with better range, don't know how to drive rush while on the right, don't understand when to properly use DI, drop combos

verbal whale
# cedar wolf I also throw tech too much and get shimmied, parry on wakeup, mash on wakeup, tr...

well the best exercise i’ve ever been told to do regarding this is take a break from ranked (or do it there if you completely do not care about points, since you’re gonna lose a lot) and follow this schedule:
-Play sets in BH and start every KD guess without doing nothing, just block.
-From now on your next wakeup is gonna be an option that beats the last one your opponent picked (throw-delay tech / button - delay button / shimmy - wakeup crmk). Eg:
1)You block - your opponent threw you
2)you delay tech - you block a strike
3) you delay mash etc.

What this exercise gives you is more insight on what your opponent does and how to beat it, by being more aware on what your opponent does you can make random situations less random, since people usually follow a pattern. By doing this you also learn the value of blocking to gather information, very useful but surprisingly hard to execute, and to do it properly you have to drop any interest in winning otherwise you’ll go back to old habits

verbal whale
#

the more you get comfortable the more you can go deeper, for example if you see they shimmy a lot on throws you can start to change the counter play to throws to backdash etc.

cedar wolf
#

i also think it's really stupid that wakeup suppers can interrupt even when I go for a cr. lp on their wakeup

regal girder
#

There are setups where meaty jab recovers fast enough to block wake up supers /od dp iirc

slender bone
#

?

#

It's stupid that supers can beat your meaty?

regal girder
#

There was a video for it i saw a while ago, ill have to look for it, if i find it ill link you

cedar wolf
#

yeah link me that

cedar wolf
regal girder
#

Here

#

He explains safe jabs in the vid which is basically just meaty lights that recover in time that can beat invincible reversals on wakeup

cedar wolf
#

thanks

cedar wolf
#

how do I fight Mai

modest fox
#

dont let her throw od fan, dont let her get you to the corner 🙂

cedar wolf
#

how

#

I still don't understand how to play defense

weary widget
#

That character is legit AKI, Akuma, Guile, and Ken but if they where better

cedar wolf
#

So nothing to be done, then

cedar wolf
#

Also I keep eating jump ins with light lash

#

Like should I just not use it same as with crouch five?

slender bone
#

Why are you mashing lp lash so much is the question I would ask

#

I think like before you're trying to find like textbook solutions to an extremely dynamic genre
If you notice yourself getting jumped on A LOT (and the replays actually show that), you have to look at location, timing of what you're doing and re-evaluate if that was a good thing to do
Taking into account what your opponent is trying to do etc

cedar wolf
#

usually to keep someone like gief out, or I tend to do it after teching a throw

#

or I just feel like it in neutral

verbal whale
#

since its completely unreactable (its a 42f move and a jump hits your in roughly 34 frames iirc, making it a 8f reaction which is impossible) theyre jumping as a guess, and you being hit by them often means that your timing on it is very predictable OR you are not getting their jump rhythm

cedar wolf
#

I think a good practice for me is to not rematch if the first loss pisses me off

cedar wolf
#

still struggling with not doing crouch dive all the time and I don't know why

modest fox
#

think all has been said what can be said

#

at some point you have to just not do it lol

cedar wolf
#

what should I do instead

#

to combat the urge

modest fox
#

we've had this conversation before

#

ideally you just dont do it imo

cedar wolf
#

I forgot about that convo. But I guess I'll just force myself not to do it

#

even if I know they're gonna do a fireball

slender bone
#

You should print out a picture of this and put it somewhere nearby so you can look at it occassionally and remind yourself

hoary lynx
#

There were like other 2 people giving you suggestions in that conversation. You might try any of those

cedar wolf
#

nah

#

go away (I did start practicing those)

cedar wolf
#

what buttons are good for shimmying

modest fox
#

what do you mean

cedar wolf
#

when I shimmy

modest fox
#

sthk

weary widget
modest fox
#

what do you go into after 5mk PC @weary widget

weary widget
modest fox
#

isn't that pretty bad for a shimmy

regal girder
modest fox
#

that's much better

#

for a shimmy you're not gonna be tip range

regal girder
#

depends. I've shimmied people that tech hella delayed, and was left out too far for crmp

modest fox
#

doesn't that just mean you walked back too much

regal girder
#

prolly yea, i gotta work on that pepekarlmarkx

modest fox
#

I just autopilot sthk which is a problem too but i dont get killed for it so its fine 🤠

#

where are you ranked at rn @regal girder

regal girder
#

haven't ranked in a while, so it's just left off on 1370 mr

#

rn i'm tryna get comfortable with viper, so aki is on the side for now

modest fox
#

good luck with that 🤞

verbal whale
#

PC stmk link into lvl3

#

i usually stmp for shimmies tho

weary widget

I only do it cause 5.Hk doesnt always work so I do that to either get a knockdown or get a super off

#

Hes comin bacc

modest fox
#

why @verbal whale

#

i refunded GB btw, idk none of the characters interested me like SF's did

verbal whale
modest fox
verbal whale
modest fox
#

valid reason to reinstall

#

they dont play gb?

verbal whale
#

nah it’s a sf tournament

#

surely there will be a gb stand but its strictly sf tourney

modest fox
#

oh yeah cool, have fun

crude path
#

I stopped playing other than the odd time with my hitbox, cuz I didn't wanna commit to learning it and had uni

#

but I've graduated, now I work full-time (still at my previous part-time job), but I've got no other obligations

#

so I'm getting better with hitbox rn

#

current plan is just to grind casual queue until I get more and more comfortable with playing naturally with it

#

I can already hit comboes (bar consistency issues) so it's getting better at offense, neutral and defending (mainly switching between stand block, crouch block, executing the right abares on-time, improving consistency with OD slide input)

slender bone
#

but you were grinding casual queue before as well, so nothing has changed

modest fox
#

what's the purpose of grinding casuals

regal girder
#

Warming up ig?

slender bone
#

It's not a warm up

#

He only plays casuals

crude path
#

cuz I wanna play long sets

#

I don't like just Bo3s or getting one-and-done'd

#

casual queue just means I'll get guys willing to play 10+ games in a row

modest fox
#

id try battlehub instead

#

find someone on a similar skill level

#

or tag people in #sf_lobbies

#

I dont like casuals cuz skill level is all over the place

slender bone
#

It doesn't hone your adaptation skill either because it's too long to get going

crude path
#

adaptation doesn't matter in ranked since most people will beat you once, as fast as possible, and quit so you can't adapt

#

and if you do beat them then they still quit anyway

modest fox
#

🤔

#

adaptation doesnt matter because you cant do it fast enough?

#

seems like an argument pro practicing adapting

crude path
#

*even if I did adapt and beat them, they still quit

modest fox
#

i think one and dones happen like 5% of the time for me in ranked

crude path
#

it was atleast 60% of my ranked games

slender bone
#

adapting after getting 55 years to get used to them is a different skill compared to getting only 35 seconds

crude path
#

yeah but my point is that the adaptation won't matter if people who you adapt to beat refuse to play you

slender bone
#

one I ignored because it's not relevant

crude path
#

why do you think it's not relevant

slender bone
#

you being unlucky with one and dones does not invalidate the requirement to learn quick adaptation

cedar wolf
#

having trouble fighting ed, I struggle with the ranges of his normals

regal girder
#

in my experience, try to not play footsies against ed

#

those normals do hurt, however they are quite commital, so a simple jump in would hurt them a lot if they're normal happy

#

however they can start playing around that and start doing it less and bait a free jump from you to anti air

cedar wolf
#

me constantly being outpoked by other characters really pisses me off

#

like I can't just get in on anyone. Ed, now this Terry

#

what the fuck am I missing

verbal whale
#

and he struggles to check unexpected drive rushes consistently since his moves have low active frames

#

and hes probably the character that loses more to stance dive

#

ed is a char where you kinda wanna understand his framedata

#

his more obnoxious buttons are kinda slow (stmk 10f/crmk 9f/crhk 12f) and you can expect those when he pushes you far away with a string. Luckily capcom blessed us with crhk being 10f and it often couter hits him in these situations (be careful that it doesnt whiff tho)

#

be very careful to fb when he has lvl3 since its a very good reaction super

#

also stmk drc has always a gap, we dont have a reversal that can get but you can PP the jab

cedar wolf
#

I get clipped by the jab that hits my feet a lot

#

whichever one that is

verbal whale
#

crlp

#

do you have any replays to share

cedar wolf
#

I'll upload one later

regal girder
#

For akis od whip, if it hits PC, does it give more frames (assuming its the version where they dont have poison on at first)

weary widget
#

Makes your plus 9 so you can do heavy kick

cedar wolf
#

btw that combo where it's like cr. lp, cr. lp, st. lk x hp lash, why the st. lk and not just a third cr. lp?

slender bone
#

more often than not, the cr.lp makes hp lash whiff if you're not point blank

cedar wolf
#

oh

verbal whale
#

but now you get it from crlp too

regal girder
#

@verbal whale what specials can net me that one meaty overhead setup where i would whiff cr jab or something into meaty overhead

#

Ive seen it used in corners which is mainly what i wanna use it for

cedar wolf
regal girder
#

But it also depends on the situation

#

If they're already poisoned and you get a combo started, m lash is ideal there

#

M lash without poison is also good cuz it has quite the amount of corner carry

verbal whale

modest fox
#

@regal girder

#

barca dropped a bunch of setups here

regal girder
cedar wolf
#

annoying creep

weary widget
#

Ok well lets focus on whats more important which is you need to work on your hit confrims and combos

#

Other than that your general plan is to always be moving never sit in one spot against cammy

modest fox
#

yeah you didn't finish a single combo

#

don't do random heavy lash

#

don't do fireball on wakeup

#

stop doing panic DI

#

slow down so you can think about what you and your opponent are doing

regal girder
#

Try to be more cautious of drive as well

#

Burning out cuz of 3 failed di attempts isnt good mane

cedar wolf
#

that was due to being pissed off

modest fox
#

this game would piss me off too

#

wouldn't matter if I was the Aki or the Cammy

cedar wolf
#

also I have been dropping combos ever since I switched the buttons out of the old ones

#

i was the aki though

modest fox
#

both of you are just fucking swinging lol it's tilting to look at

cedar wolf
#

well i was tilted

modest fox
#

does not sound like a controller side problem

cedar wolf
#

don't remember that

#

that was probably a misinput

modest fox
#

no that's a very clear missed confirm

#

you're slow on your inputs

iirc there's another moment where you get a jump attack but fail to convert it into a combo

#

because you're slow on the sthk

cedar wolf
#

yeah that's a recent issue I've had

cosmic scarab
#

Can anyone show me Akis chip out sequence I think I have it but not sure.

regal girder
#

All that is a frame trap so if they get counter hit you're doing it right

#

Alternatively, after the third rep you can drc from the st mp into st mp and then restart the cr lp st mp loop from there

cosmic scarab
#

Not the burnout loop the chip out with ex bubbles to super to chip them out basically the checkmate once they can do anything @regal girder

#

I have this it works but idk if you supposed to start with ex cruel fate @regal girder

regal girder
#

Ohhh chip out, my bad

#

Im not too sure if thats it

#

Uhhhh im not too sure cuz i rarely chip out for rounds

I was gone ask you if you knew it. But the ex cruel fate can be supers. I saw broski do it but I can’t find the video. So is this true? also you can level 2 after the last ex fireball if you do the whip follow up.

so I don't understand the whole cr. lp, cr. lp, st. lk thing still because it seems more difficult to pull off than just the two low punches

#

also how are you supposed to time the hits?

slender bone
#

The only possible way is to practice it regularly

#

Just don't cr.lp > st.lk then and keep with cr.lp ~ cr.lp until you feel comfortable doing it with st.lp

cedar wolf
#

is st. lk the best normal to check drive rush? I feel like it's more reliable than st. mp

slender bone
#

st.lk is pretty short range

cedar wolf
#

i figured if a move comes out quicker it's better

exotic dust
#

if you can catch them with either then the one that leads to more dmg is the better idea

#

and well, teh stmp saves your ass if they do the good ole raw drive rush DI lol

slender bone
#

ok let's see you check with st.lk
what are you doing with it

exotic dust
#

tho you'll prolly have enough time with the light kick too

regal girder
#

in the very small chance that someone up close to you will parry drive rush, then yea maybe

#

but usually for the spacings where people drive rush in neutral such as like, round start spacing for example, it's better to use your medium buttons with good range

#

cr mp is my favorite button to check with cuz i can buffer into od whip

I need help on this matchup bad
