Overview

Pick Super Art 3

Learn how to use low forward because it is pretty safe, and can cancel into EX hadoken (use Ex hadoken cause it is safer that a regular hadoken). It can also cancel into SAIII.

Get a knockdown and do any of these:

- cr. short,cr. short xx Shippu.

- strong->fierce xx Shippu.

note:if you have trouble confirming the Shippu throw in a hadoken in to buy you time, it only takes away 1 point of damage. So it wold be strong-> fierce xx hadoken xx Shippu)

- dashback, cr. forward xx Shippu.

- cr. short, walk up, throw.

- cr. strong -> Shippu.

- far strong -> Shippu-

If your beating him badly, chances are he'll do a shoryuken or super on wakeup so just press forward then punish it.

  • Best punisher*

Close Fierce cancelled into Strong Shoryuken buffered into Shippu.
