why i always got beat by cpu when jumping kick & punch

[DanSC]

it doesnt matter if i jump early, on time, or late, i always got beat if the cpu characters are also jump or punch toward me in most 2d games, and especially 3S..is the computer was set like this or is there a way i can beat them?

You have to wiggle the joystick.

just parry

[ZERO Shift]

Pick Dudley and nail em with j.strong or j.forward. I play 3S on max difficulty and the CPU still eats it. Maybe my copy is weird...

Or you could just parry and counter. Or stop jumping since the CPU seems to have your number.:D

Play the game more, stop jumping in, learn to parry, rush that shit down, use super cancels, learn a better tactic, and stop being a scrub

Truth. If you get beat on jump ins against the CPU, you would most likely get destroyed using them against a real person who was decent at the game. I'd say it's time to change your tactics.

[DanSC]

i dont think i will change the tactic, cause i dont want to left out a part of the combo(which most combo include jump kick/punch), i jump in at least 10 time per match..i say 8 out of 10 successfully..the only time i failed to do so is because the cpu also jump in at me while im airborn and knock me down...so i think i just need to practice on parry..plus i dont jump that much when i play against real person..i usually let them jump into me so i can dragon punches their ass :)

Getting less damage from your combo but landing it > Getting punished for jump-in

Not dragon punching every time your opponent jumps > Dragon punching each time and getting blocked and punished

[DanSC]

that make sense, i might change it somehow, but seriously, i never get punished after dp, i play 3s with my friend, whenever he jump in i just dp and he got hit..he not fast enough to block my dp or parry it, thats why i dp every time someone jump in, we re just bunches of scrubs..lol..

You will raped playing the way you do against any halfway decent player. Get better ground tactics. You don't need a jumping attack for almost every combo, just do the combos on the ground. You barely ever land combos starting from a jump-in because people parry that shit easy. Gotta find more ways to start combos.

[Dios <-X->]

In mortal kombat, you jump, they immediatly do, and beat whatever move you do, doesnt matter what it is, except scorpians teleport.

[Okame]

3S AI cheats when it comes to jump-ins (and lots of other stuff). If you try to parry they'll detect the forward input and delay their attack until the window passes and then hit you. Early attack, late attack, it doesn't really matter in 3S, because the AI is made of pure bullshit.

This doesn't mean you can't beat it, just that it doesn't make you any better to beat it, since learning a bunch of dumb AI tricks to beat the computer doesn't teach you anything.

[BananaWeed]

SF2 Turbo, the AI Ryu would always jump and out-prioritize you. Always. Oh, and guile with his instant flash kicks as well. That game was so bullshit. <3

[DanSC]

man..now you mention about guile..hes always a pain in the ass to fight against with...

Uh, I can't beat the computer in most games. A lot of the best players lose to the computer in many games. The computer cheats and plays nothing like humans. I know how to beat the CPU in a lot of games, but its usually stupid shit that won't do shit for you in real play.
