Strategies
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.
