Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

On paper the matchup is 6-4 akuma because of Akuma's zoning potential with his fireballs but that will all go pear shaped if you get predictable, allow yourself to get pushed into the corner, or if you suffer from my main problem in this matchup and get bored of dinking away at 1100 health.

After a sweep, use light demon flip palm OS sweep to beat lariat, do the demonflip slightly later and you can go for a throw. Divekicks will pretty much lose to the 'magic lariat'. (holding down to lower their hurtbox until the last moment and then pressing 3p)

Neutral jumping against gief at point blank range is a nono, at best you will eat a clean magic lariat, at worse you will trade and he will EX greenhand you. Backdash is a slightly safer option but still has its risks, unfortunately this advice is useless but you can't drop combos in this match because it's not only lost damage and followup mixups, it's lost health.. it's twice as bad.

Try and bait ex greenhand by jumping and wiffing a normal, keep the gief on edge about when you're actually gonna throw a fireball

This is my problem also, I was doing well when I started to zone but I get bored and want to 'get in'. Thanks for the tips I'll keep these in mind, thank you also Hyv for your suggestions. It's really my own fault, as you said you can't drop combos especially with somebody who does damage like Gief.
 
ggs omh. very sad to your pp drop below 4000pp again, on the bright side you are only 1000pp away from mago. with gen, you can hit confirm with c.lk and c.lp into his target combo (s.hp, mk) for a easier combo than what you are trying.

nice dash ultra with guile, i thought you didnt like and play charge characters.

Ur a funny guy rash!! An my chun is not lame, she's a beast!! :D

Its funny coz yupyupno tried playing chun like you last night but didn't quite get it right, I managed to jump over with a crossup and punish. The hitbox on her st.hp is ridiculous! I wanna play your Chun again, hit me up if you see me online

GGs guys, gonna watch the footy now. Hyvs Guy is his best character imo and Yupyupnos Yun is probably his worst, seriously stick to Bison and Sim. :p

have you played my makoto? i play safer but attack a lot harder with her. my guy is not really better he just moves and attacks differently.

i do a lot of random moves with guy, i do guess spin kick a lot as well. it wasnt good, it was just guessing. i think you dont know how to deal with it because my other characters never had that option and i am good at guessing.

yupyupno destroys my guy with sim but i go even against him with makoto. his yun is getting there, he just dont spam the dive kicks enough in my view. at the moment, he is not strong enough to beat my guy and makoto though.

I was still trying vanilla gen stuff with invinicible ex wall dive to escape corner only to be jabbed out of it lol. And I can't do mk>hands combo on stick either but you was pulling it off nicely. My pp goes up and down, Emperor Cow played me about 10 times in a row with his juri (I won the majority :D) but I lost a lot that way.

I dabble with guile he's the only charge character I like

i put my thumb on mk and swipe the button (from hp to lp, then back to hp.)with my index and middle finger. gen's finger slaps is lot easier to buffer compare to honda's hand, so you dont have to do it that quickly.

i was too focused in landing the hands combo against you though. i forgot to anti air and even block at times, because i had to position my hand differently just for this combo.
 
I do adz. As well as being a 1 frame link it has to have pixel perfect spacing. Loads of characters have weird tool assisted or impossibly situational combo's.
