- cl.MK xx super jump, HK
- Your basic reset after a close MK, leads to a few setups.

SF3 3rd Strike Tricks of the Trade: Yang
- Why you should play Yang
In order to play Yang you have to play very patiently. Look for your openings and punish very well. Yang may seem like a simple character. But he is not simple by any means. He is extremely reactionary. You have to be able to punish whiffs as you see them or you wont be able to play Yang effectively. Yang has really simple combos but has a really hard style to get a grasp to. Knowing combos is only half the battle. But thats where I will start first.
