How to Counter
Ryu is at +19F after this throw.
- If you recover in place
- When Ryu has used Drive Rush, an OD reversal with 7F startup or faster is guaranteed
- Drive Rush→2LP is a safe meaty against 8F reversals
- When Ryu has used Drive Rush, an OD reversal with 7F startup or faster is guaranteed
- If you take backward recovery
- Ryu can make your OD reversal whiff by throwing
- Characters with a 7F-startup SA that reaches far horizontally can deny the oki completely
- e.g. Luke's SA1 or Manon's SA2
Conclusion (recommended counters)
- If your character has an invincible move with 7F startup or faster and strong horizontal reach
- backward recovery → confirm the Drive Rush → activate the SA
- e.g. Luke's SA1, Manon's SA2, Rashid's OD reversal, Cammy's OD reversal
- If your character's OD reversal is 7F or faster but lacks horizontal reach
- recover in place → confirm the Drive Rush → OD reversal
- With no invincible reversal, mix between the following two
- recover in place → confirm the Drive Rush → delayed tech
- recovering in place makes the shimmy impossible
- backward recovery
- if he has not used Drive Rush, he gets no oki
- recover in place → confirm the Drive Rush → delayed tech
Watch out
Firing a 7F-or-faster SA with strong horizontal reach carries the risk of being punished through the super flash, so check the gauges before choosing it.
