Rose Punish

[Foxhawk]

Quick question...

was watching a vid (on SFIV Dojo) of Saqs playing Rose vs Ryu, and he was punishing srk whiffs with s.mp -> spiral. Was he using s.mp because s.hp/hk would take too long?

mm... personally, i always use s.HK - SSpiral ( - Super) to punish whiffed moves... if im close enough of course. Sometimes Level 2 FA - s.HK - SSpiral.

s.HK deals 100 damage instead the 70 cr.MP does.

cr.MP - SSpiral is easier to perform though.

It could be because of range. If you get the wrong(far) HK/FP you won't get the drill and you might eat another SRK. Also yeah, the speed is a factor. When you're playing online half of the Ryu/Ken players do double SRKs because your window to punish is smaller than when you're offline.

I dunno how many times i've seen the SRK whiff and be like, "punshiment coming up" only to eat a mashed out SRK upon them landing. Sometimes when it comes to online play the safer option is the smarter option.

I've almost stopped trying to link cr.lp's/lk's into cr.mp's online, especially against SRK equipped toons. Cr.mp xx drill hits all the time so what if I have to hit them a few more times to win :P

I love beating the snot out of those shoryu mashing newbs. I still try most of my links and combos online and if I do screw up and see they are mashing dp during my block string, I'll just purposely stop after c.lk (c.lp,c.lp, c.lk) then punish them.

yes, its quite frustrating to try online links, lag always f**ks me up and i end eating a shoryu.

ill have to try CraptacularOne method...

I always do c.mp > drill as a punish. Mainly because online I cant seem to get anything else out reliably. If I'm a little too late I just throw.

Offline is another story.

If its a fierce SRK I have time enough to do S HK xx MK drill. Otherwise I default to C MK xx MK drill when close enough or C MP xx LP Spark when further. The latter might get me a reversal SRK when it doesnt combo, but it often also get me two single hits because they jam other moves between the missed cancel.
