I'm not happy about this at all. Whoever thought it was a good idea to sexually pair my beloved Viper with her worst match-up --the down/back forever, life lead-hoarding, meatwall-cunt that is Honda-- has successfully red-dotted himself.
My cross-up, instant Burn Kick will not miss you. You will die in a fire. #Swag
Is Chun actually Honda's worst? I never thought about it but I don't recall coming across any of them when I was C-ranking her last year. But the moment I feel like switching to Viper, *boom* 6823+ BP Honda - right around the corner.
If I can open them up and get them anxious to attack me, I can pull out the win , but if they turtle their ass off, --especially if they're in the corner-- I'm fucked. Like, Free.
Not surprising; Chun's got options for days, as long as she's on her feet. Just from casual use, it seems like her touchiest aspect is her wake-up game. EX SBK is punishable in various ways and she's easily blown up by safejumps.
Probably the downside of having the best backdash in the game [her or Rose]. Even option-select sweeps can miss her, which can be really annoying.
Yup. Speaking as an SF4 Chun main, it used to be that EX Spinning Bird was her go-to wakeup option.
But, these days everyone knows it. More often than not, they will actively try to bait you into doing it so they can punish. Do nothing (block) or focus cancel to backdash is what she usually does these days.
Her worst matchups include divekick and mixup heavy characters: Viper, Rufus, Akuma, and I think Yun no thanks to AE.
...best danbooru discussion I have been part of, ever.
