Character specific stuff

Shoryu-shoryu

CORNER:

• Stand HP shoryu kara-shoryu

UOH setup

• crouch LK > crouch MP

SA3 cross-up setup

• Walk up -> superjump. Air tatsu after a superjump for cross-up.

Crouch LK>LP>LK

• YES
• Also crouch LK x 3 (can delay the second one)

Shoryu confirm

• Crouch LK > stand LP xx Shoryu (CORNER ONLY)

Corner cross-up jump

• NO

Notes

• Raw SA3 punish blocked full EX rekka (if they do some funky rhythm it apparently doesn't punish...)
• Red parry crouch MK xx rekka (maybe not that good, turns out he can delay it)
  • LP Rekka and EX Rekka have similar timings
• Not quick-rising gives more time for stun bar to recover and disrupts Yang's oki setups, so sometimes it's good not to quick-rise EX slash
• Crouch MK is good in footsies, remember to use it
• Sometimes you just have to reversal
• Watch out for walk up crouch MK when you expect dive kick
• Stand MK is sometimes good as anti-air
  • If they jump-in with parry a lot, not a bad idea to do crouch HP > shoryu or tatsu (mix up the strengths)
• If you block a divekick and Ken blocks with his elbow up, Yang is minus (90% of the time you get a free throw - but kinda hard to react to)
  • Ambiguous cross-up divekick is usually like this
  • After such a divekick, Yang's buttons will probably not combo on hit
    • You might be able to interrupt with crouch tech > low LK > confirm SA3
• Jump towards HK works well against divekicks
  • Jump towards EX tatsu (juggle with stand MK or MP DP) is more rewarding (do the DP motion early so it has the chance to auto correct)
• Watch out for dive kick cross-up in the corner (mostly on your wake-up)
  • Against corner divekick mix-up, press the stick towards the corner with parry timing, if he crosses up you'll get parry, otherwise you just stand block.
• Stand HK is a pretty good button to press at 1/2 screen away
  • It's an easy EX Rekka if you whiff it though
• When you have low health, a lot of Yangs will try to finish you off with command grab combo's
  • If you read them doing this (and you're not cornered) you can backdash and buffer raw super or do crouch MK xx (confirm) SA3.
• He has no reversal apart from super, you should pressure him on wakeup, especially in the corner
  • Yang might wakeup jump a lot, stand MP will stuff that
• Crouching twins fall out of TC xx DP
• It's possible to punish raw divekick with shippu
