CaelSeraphim Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Ara-kun isn't very challenging for me. If your Jin lacks good pressure game, corner tactics, and basic fundamental shit, I'd see why you struggle so much vs Ara-kun.
toanenadiz Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I'll repeat. 2C has 13 frames of startup, then however many frames it takes to travel. 623B is -11 on block. If you do 2C Dacid, you get blocked, and that's -37. So you can't IB 623B and 2C fatal counter him? Ara-kun isn't very challenging for me. If your Jin lacks good pressure game, corner tactics, and basic fundamental shit, I'd see why you struggle so much vs Ara-kun. How do you handle IB->backdash? I don't really like using 2D to punish it and would like a better way to deal with it.
CaelSeraphim Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Toan it depends on the style of your Jin. My Jin has a defense priority type of style. I always 236C on an IB>Backdash. 236C for this reason, If I'm in the corner I can get the benefit of having my mid area protected for a few moments so I only need to worry about aerials or low attacks.
LordSpectreX Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 So you can't IB 623B and 2C fatal counter him? It's possible. But you'd have to Instant Barrier Block an attack he might not be doing, and then 2C the very moment you can. About 4 frames wasted will mean he can block it. And if he does block it, you eat around 4.5k. It's not worth it. And as I said, Close 2CFC on Jin is difficult, so you may not even get the reward. How do you handle IB->backdash? I don't really like using 2D to punish it and would like a better way to deal with it. I don't know why you wouldn't do 2D. Since it's perfect for catching backdashes, it has a big hitbox, leads to corner and is safe on block, especially against Arakune. But if you insist, you can do 6C if he IB Backdashed at 5A range, or you can Ice-Car. Yes. I'm serious. You can do C Ice Car on reaction to the backdash and it will likely hit.
