Hey Ryan for characters that you can't safe jump after the HP CU, what is the best way to maintain pressure? I usually just follow up with a Crack Kick to close distance or a MP Bad Stone, especially if they're in the corner. Also, what's a good follow up to an EX Zonk or a forward throw?

[OptionSelectDotCom]

@alekschang See my other comment about after HP CU. After EX Zonk, if it's a character you can safe jump, you can walk forward slightly and then jump to get a safe jump. Unfortunately, you can't hold up forward like HP CU against any characters. The same is true for Forward Throw. Walk up slightly and then jump. A few minutes in training mode will get you used to the timing of how far to walk before jumping.

Hey ryan this is good stuff. Just a quick question. Do you know of anyway to setup that can be used after performing cr.lp, cr.lp, cr.lk, MK RK? This is my normal bnb combo I use the most.

[OptionSelectDotCom]

@riku45 You can't really get anything good off a MK RK. You should really unlearn that and start using HP CU. There's really no reason not to.

@OptionSelectDotCom Hey ryan been using cr.lp, cr.lp, cr.lk, HP CU ALOT more than before and it is helping with my setups more

[OptionSelectDotCom]

@riku45 Good to hear. Against characters that you either can't safe jump (like shotos) or characters that you have to manually time the safe jump and it's too hard, I'll usually do 2 forward dashes immediately after a HP CU. This gets Cody point blank in time to get a meaty if you want it.

Turn the beat back! ...again.
