It's the going for it on 4th down tech. If you lose because of it you're a scrub, if you hit it you're lucky, and if you're a legend and you do it it's the sickest read ever.

I go for it on Mika a bit just to keep people honest, ryu I do dp into it if I wanna wake up and won't die to anything other than a cc punish or if I'm in trigger since it's safe then.
F.A.N.G. and other movement v-reversals will give a full punish to DP into CA. DP might allow some strike v-reversals to fully punish too.

Still not a cc punish which is usually what I'm trying to avoid. If I've got like 300 hp left and it's 3rd round I'm gonna ca after I dp(should I decide dp is reasonable on wake up) just to try and get another chance. Not saying it's something to always go for, but it might save your life. Kinda like how kens dp xx trigger on wake up just to limit your punish.

I was playing against a guy and it was the third round... for the whole 15 or so games we played he hadn't tried to bait anything on my knockdown and he went in every time. He had a life lead on me but he didn't have loads of health left, just enough to kill him with wakeup CA. Welp that was the last straw for him when I 'stole' that game so he sends me some hate mail telling me that it's an unwritten rule that you don't wakeup CA. That it's a taboo move to pull off.

Is he for real or just salty? If he's right then that's stupid. It's a game winning read, I'd be an idiot not to lol.
You are not allowed to do stuff like this, its players like you that ruin the purity of this game.
I cannot keep a straight face while typing that.

I dont know why people seem to think that having a game focus more on your reads/spacing/character knowledge makes the game more casual.
This is why people think you work for Capcom.


- All about reads because random dash halfway across screen, random jump, no hurtbox on normals so you premptively whiff punish etc

- Spacing is a big a deal as a result of your character being unable to move anywhere but forwards

- Character knowledge is important so you know when characters without 3fs are only +1 so you can mash and what characters can't cover both wake-ups.. so you can mash

He's just salty. Do it if you absolutely feel like it was your only option. Hell I hit FL rush down with wake up super like twice in one match :^)

I guess if you're desperate and it's match point. Just pointing out something to be aware cause. Cause you are free to wake ups:rolleyes:

That purple freaks damage lies somewhere in between the points 0 and not enough dmg for me to respect him. So I ain't worried.
This is true. :oops:

But that's why I've maxed my poison DPS. once season 2 gives him a bit more damage/options/flexibility, it's over for you and all the other standing jab Ryus of the world. It'll be like SFxT 2013 with all the Ryus I'll be bodying.

Please. You'll take your useless poison dmg increase and you'll like it, cause that's all you're getting. Ryu/Mika could lose half their tools and 3/4 of their dmg and still be better than that trolololo character. He's a newer shittier blanka. The character for people with discerning tastes. In this case that word means terrible.

ALL I HAVE IS THE GREEN.
I remember when Chris G lost a match to random Ultra in SFIV and he was yelling out "Why would you do that?!" to the crowd and opponent, and James Chen was on commentary and said "That's exactly why you do that, because the opponent would never expect it."

There are no unwritten rules, either a character is banned in tournament or they aren't. Online, pretty much anything goes anyway.

Okay it's a bit much to brag about winning that matchup.

im not bragging about winning the matchup, im referencing to what happened at a tournament like 2 weeks ago. also gutter is a solid player and im hoping lionbae comes out of his cupboard to take the delicious bait .

all im saying is myles or scott run next door to let infexious know what the deal is and what Guile he should be playing :cool:

No way he is anything like Blanka. He's a decent honest character that will shine after december. #SeeMeInS2
