Those aren't mutually exclusive. Raw just means without normals that combo into it.

I wouldn't call an anti air shoryuken raw. If you're punishing a whiff, I wouldn't call that raw, either, as you're in a more or less guaranteed situation.

The reason I'm talking about this is because Cr. MP in that particular scenario gets rid of timing issues. Since you're +19 after a backthrow and dash forward is 17 frames you're on +2 going in. Since Cr. MP has a 5 frame startup you'll stuff any 3f jabs that come out where St. MP is vulnerable to them since it has a 6f startup.

I'm just looking to figure out if there's anything significant I can combo to from there, but it just looks like going for the target combo or Cr. MP -> LP elbow is the way to go.

That's not a true meaty situation then, there's no way to get extra advantage unless you time the active frames to hit as they wake up. cr.mp will still give a counterhit if they press a button and can link into itself then, but if they just block or take the normal hit yeah I don't think there's anything special you can do. That's honestly good enough if you've got jab happy dudes, and you can always go back to st.mp for better block advantage if you know they have a 4f jab.

edit you've probably seen this but dandyj made a vid a while back about that exact backthrow situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIPs7pLn6fc&t=160s

Speaking of meaties - what are some actual good options to catch an opponent with on wakeup when I'm playing as Vega? Right now I really don't have a ton other than his overhead medium kick or his spinning blade from deceptively far away.

cr.mk or st.mk is pretty good, you can also combo from those. Also there are a ton of meaty setups you can do after a knockdown.
Like, the two I found earlier today are after an EX.Roll you can either dash forward - whiff st.lk - st.hp or dash forward x2 - cr.mk (I hope I remembered those right). Setups like that are great for when your opponent loves to mash jabs on wakeup.

EDIT: Speaking of st.hp. If you can catch them pressing a button with a clawless st.hp you can do the coolest Vega combo.
CH (clawless) st.hp - stance switch - (claw) st.hp - stance switch - cr.mp - EX.Roll or EX.FBA or CA.

Possibly my favorite thing to do against bad players is to get a hard knockdown, FBA into Izuna Drop right as they get up to get another knock down, keep doing it. I'm pretty sure I've taken people down at least half their health just Izuna Dropping them on wakeup over and over. Isn't worth poo poo against anyone who knows how to fight Vega, but highly entertaining against those that don't.



I just did that against some Alex.
It was a perfect round and then the other player rage quit disconnected.

You cannot know how self satisfied I feel at the moment due to that.

Yeah, that works.

If you're trying to get a target combo from stance switch, you have to start with CH st. HP > switch > cr. mk>target combo> EX FBA or V skill or CA or Vtrigger>CA

If you're concerned about distance, you can omit the cr. mk and go straight into target combo.

It's really hard to give players trying to learn a hard and fast set rule for what to do/ what to never do

I feel like its much better advice to say, don't do poo poo that can be easily punished multiple times when it's clear that the person knows whats going on.

than

never do x thing. Because it'd be a pretty semantic at best argument as to figuring out say when a shoto threw out something as a 'read' or as something to toss out there because 'hey it beats other stuff I guess so I'll try it here, or whether you're testing what you can get away with because you aren't playing for money.

idk i didnt open it in case i was gonna return it. played with it for two weeks, went back to the fc4, never looked back

also im sorry it was the fightpad pro, not the alpha.

this one:



the button layout is great, the triggers feel really nice but the d-pad and stick suck hard

re: mod- i do know the alpha has all the buttons soldered in which is pretty loving horrid if you want to use it for mods.

You're giving a grappler the ability to convert a block into a grab, at will, with no resource cost. What do you think?

It could've worked as his V-trigger if they'd found a way of communicating what was happening clearly enough.

"Alright I blocked Gief's half-screen punch."
"Wait, why am I in the air?"
"Okay he got me that time, I'll just jump next time he does it, wait is that a jab?"
