GetTheTables Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @KingTubbFrom a nooblet: st.HP, b/f+MP, st.HK to clip stuff into CC. Also has a 6 frame cr.MK that is special cancellable which is really nice in SFV. Basically just mash st.HP and spear hand and AA (st.LK and b+HK I think). EX SBK for spite periodically. She is good at that style of play in SFV from what I understand (and better in S4 than she has been in a while) but that play style doesn't really function the way you think it would compared to other games. "Mid range poking" is still roughly kissing distance. I tried to find a character that felt right playing that way the whole time I stuck with the game and never quite found one that clicked (Poison was more due to her being Poison than fitting that mold).

I'm overly bitter about SFV buttons for the most part. Like she may be the Kickboxer 4 to the original Kickboxer. Or maybe Kickboxer 2. But you aren't getting JCVD. Maybe the dude from Full House. Be ready to swat the skies. Folks are going to tolerate about 1-2 of those st.HPs and then they are going to nope out of trying to slug it out. Good excuse to practice AAs into crossunders.

I've watched a decent # of matches with her and that doesn't ring any bells so if she has it in SFV it sucks and no one uses it. 😝 I think its more likely that it doesn't exist.

At the range that this hits, you're better off doing cl.HK instead. High priority, fast and can be made safe if parried. Also gives great mix after it connects. KingTubb 1 Link to comment

It's cancellable on two hits, technically making it the easiest hitconfirm option she has, but it's not as viable as Cr.MK. If I play Chun, I option parry and then kill with this if they're low enough to remind them not to press buttons. It's an incredibly strong conditioning tool, but no one uses it... because it's bad... lol. Edited December 16, 2020 by Dayaan Volt and KingTubb 1 1 Link to comment

Mattatsu Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @KingTubb Chun has 3 of those 4 buttons, and quite a few good buttons. The issue is that her good buttons are good in specific scenarios, it’s not like she has two or three buttons you can just abuse and win the whole match with. Standing HP is their best button and you can kind of abuse that (and it does cancel into super), but the rest are mostly situational. Standing LK is a very fast, easy, and reliable anti-air, but she also has other anti-air buttons that are better in different scenarios (s.HK and B+HK). She’s definitely good in this game, Better than she has been, but she does take more work to win with then she does in 3S. Also single button pokes mean a lot less in SFV than they did in 3S as well.

Hecatom Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think that in that regard, the fact that her normals are situational is for the best. The fact that she could abuse 3 or 4 pokes and win was quite dumb. I know that there are fans of 3s here, but tbh it was one of the reasons why i never could take the game seriously, too much questionable stuff coupled with mechanics that made everything worse. The fact they brought some of those stupid mechanics on SFV, is appaling. Link to comment

Saying it's "objectively" bad is a stretch tho You can judge stuff like music, movies and other forms of art in an objective way. What is subjective is the amount of enjoyment and/or how much you could like something. It is how we can like and enjoy stuff that is godawful, and hate stuff that technically speaking is superbly crafted. Art is not subjective, since most forms of it require a concious apply of techniques and skills. Edited December 16, 2020 by Hecatom Link to comment

I agree, sorta... But for a form of art (like music) to be objectively bad, it has to fail at being the thing it says it is. So if they tried to make "Jazzy NYC '99" and it made no sounds and a grill cheese sandwich fell out of your monitor, then, objectively as music, that would be a pretty bad song. Decent lunch tho.

Modern balance/patching/lifecycles kinda makes that something that doesn't exist in the same way, if it even still does (depending on the game). It feels real good to have a big "fuck you" button (whether that is literally a button or not) and with a little bit of time travel you can experience some great ones.

GetTheTables Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I like the Bob implementation of that character a lot more than the Rufus version. And Bob is a giant pile of nothing. I actually don't like most of IV's newcomers. Viper and Juri get a pass on waifu credentials. But even they don't quite feel right as SF additions to me. Not sure why that is. Maybe its just how much I don't like IV? Funny to think about. KingTubb 1 Link to comment

Her super is the real stupid thing. Without a stick of butter, Chun is a mid to upper mid tier character that can easily be swarmed if you don't play keep out well. Hugo has a frame 0 super that does 50% damage. Also a stupid super, but a lower mid character. Her super does great damage, but it doesn't make her top tier (though it definitely helps). She can confirm into it from Cr.MK, St.MP, Cl.HK, Fa.HK, Cr.LP and more. She has extremely consistent confirms from buttons she's better off pressing anyway. This helps. The power of SA2 is that she gets a follow up. On most characters this can be corner to corner carry, sure, but even more deadly is the TC in the air that lands her a 50/50. Guess wrong, and there goes the other 50% of your health. By the way, this mix is applicable to all characters and has tons of variations. Good luck keeping track of them all. At the range at which she can confirm into super from her UOH, she can also confirm from Cr.MK or kara throw. Blocking too much? Get thrown from Cr.MK range. Guess parrying? Better guess right. Guessed right? Better do a delayed punish anyway or eat shit. You say she's a mid tier character without meter? I agree, but only at the highest level. Otherwise what mid tier character can you name that discourages Ken from pressing low forward at max range? I should really do a write-up (not a guide) on why Chun is good. The people that say that her buttons are good and spammable are either uneducated on her, ignorant or moronic. An option parry in neutral or even just barely standing outside her range beats those amazing buttons because she steps forward for both fierces, can be whiff punished easily on her HK, and can be dashed in on - if not whiff punished - with her Cr.MK. Yes her super makes her amazing, but it's only what the super enables, not what it does that makes it great. KingTubb and Mattatsu 1 1 Link to comment

Mattatsu Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Unrelated to everything and somewhat of a personal rant, but I was driving around today listening to a bunch of Rush and realized I really need to pick up my bass guitars again. Geddy Lee is a monster and I’ve had a goal of learning a few of their albums for like 10 years now but keep getting side tracked... I also realized when I’m really stressed or anxious, it’s hard to learn a new song or study music, as it doesn’t seem like something that’s strong enough to distract me from the BS I’m dealing with. Video games do though and really help me keep my sanity, but after the holidays I’m going to work on having more personal time and giving less of an F about my job, so I can get more bass time in... Won’t drop fighting games but I would like to add music back in the mix. Edited December 16, 2020 by Mattatsu KingTubb and GetTheTables 2 Link to comment
