Neutral jump and play it patient. A lot of crouching under high tiger shots. Spiral arrow when he does a high tiger shot if you're close enough. Easier said than done. With chun li, you have to be super patient. You have Hazanshu, but be careful to not overuse it. Your walkspeed is pretty good Smaller turnout this time. 5 people I think? I wasn't there for all of it. Ct.SG, squall, VaroFN and Captyadier I know played. Hieu, myself, moo, slrc and 3chord dropped by
Don't forget st.HK, Tiger Knee. Everyone abuses it because it's safe on block. Most of the time you can mash SRK after Sagat's kick and he'll eat it.
Thanks! I am training my fei now. I used too much focus attacks during my match with you just now. Akuma is like my pocket character when I got bored of fei. Raging Demon is just too dirty.
Block st.HK, and then he uses Tiger Knee. Block it, and try to punish it after blocking it with SRK. Then tell me where I was wrong. The only way to beat that "block string" is by using SRK after blocking st.HK. If you try to jump or use another attack without invinc, you'll it the Tiger Knee, and if you block it you eat chip damage without being able to punish it.
Because you said Tiger knee is safe on block. It isn't. And st.K, Tiger Knee is just a bad frame trap that most players have gotten over
Yeah. you did have a bit of an over reliance on Focus Attacks. Particularly in the guile matchup, EX Chicken Wing is very good to get out against a meaty Sonic Boom
You can neutral jump and jump kick him in the face. Only danger is if he times it and uppercuts. You can also neutral jump and ex dive kick. Lots of Sagats will low kick you or play lame after the knee. You can time the low kick/tiger knee and SRK him. Also if they play lame, you throw him. Sagat is really easy to throw cause he is slow. I jump over him usually and do a dive kick cross up then you play rock, scissor, paper with him (throw, SRK, block mix ups). Cammy Sagat is a 6-4 match. Cammy should win cause she is way faster.
Every Sagat does the same. Spam FBs, and then use Tiger Knee when you're close. With Akuma I don't have many problems with them. I can use EX Demon Flip Grab while he's zoning, and then Palm to avoid an upcoming SRK.
for tiger knee to be safe it must be done at kinda mid-far range. If that is the case you can use a low profile move to duck under it then throw him on his recovery. I believe Akuma can do crouching MK to duck under a far knee. If you anticipate a knee coming for sure, back dash then sweep is also good. using SRK is nothing wrong if you're confident with your read, but it is risky coz once you've used it, the 2nd time they will try to bait it out. (if the Sagat player has some brain...) Of course we all know that sometimes a YOLO SRK is necessary to deliver the message that you deserve some respect, but on whiff you will be heavily punished, and Akuma can't take as many risks as other characters... Especially against Sagat who hits like a f*cking truck seriously I think his damage should be nerfed. Having one of the best projectile game in the cast, he should have a worse come-back factor... uppercut, kick, ultra deals way too much damage!
gonna play some more spacing with you next time, your pressure game is a lot better now I can't just do pure rush. Good work I am liking your style more!
When they start baiting is a great opportunity to throw them with Cammy. Then the mind games begin and Cammy has an advantage once that part of the game begins
Think he meant the demon flip -> punch move It does look like a palm attack, and has almost no recovery on landing
I meant Demon Flip Palm. If Akuma had Yun's palm... Wow I never tried to play with moves' hitboxes to avoid other moves. I'll try the cr.MK later. About damage, most Ultras should get a damage nerf IMO. My pressure was always good! Just take a look at my lovely SFxTK. No one can defeat my frame traps with Ryu there
