Is anyone above 6th Dan with Lion?

I was just wondering cause I was really good with Lion then all of a sudden I couldnt win a single match.

I'd love to hear from you.

it becomes somewhat easy when you learn the ai weak spots.

 

hope this helps
i am not a very good player, so i think there should be some people here with better advises.
*sorry my poor english


1- try going for a throw after you knock down the opponent, be prepared to defend a rising attack
2- when you have the distance do f,f,K,K. If the enemy defend the first kick, wait a little before you imput the second kick, they often fall for it
3- use a lot of low punches and mid kick to try to set for a throw or just K,K
4- if you get to do this throw (d,f,P+G) try to follow up with b,f,K+G and u,P or f,f,K,K and db,P,P(or d,K+G)

 

Start the match with d+K+G to knock them down. Then when they get up from a TR(usually) do b,f+K+G - the opponrnt will block that but will eat a K (with BT) immediately after pretty much everytime. Try doing that over and over again.

If that doesn't work and you get in a jam do P, P, P. Blocked or not follow it up with QCB+P when they try to counter attack. When the sabaki lands do the f, f+K, K (or combo of your choice) to knock them down. When they TR try the previous method I mentioned earlier again.

 

Thank you all for your help

i got to high king pretty fast with lion i cant remember my record right now though. anyway here's a good way to start a match: b+P+K (head crumble) U+P+K, F,F,K,K

 

I had a tough time around 8th Dan, but finally just made 9th Dan.

anyway, AI weaknesses:

1. abuse u+K,K, pounce. i win most matches abusing this.
2. round opener 1 - P+K, pounce or u+P+K, pounce
3. round opener 2 - b,b+K, D+k,k
4. round opener 3 - b, df+p, pounce

these are my sure things usually.

 

I use u,P+K -> f,f, K,K alot, this got me too 10th Dan, but then I got tired of Lion, so I started using other people.

 

High King,
641-18 97% Win percentage,

Lion rules. He is fun as hell to play as. Still have a bit of trouble getting my last few orbs, I'm on my 3rd set. I will not stop until its done and I have eveything.

 

Try this combo on the Kumite character.. most of the time you will get it...

After the "Ready, Go!!!" do this
P+K, b,f+P+K,P,P, then f+P+K (delay for a while in order to get the following K a high MC, also this move only a setup, it not suppose to hit),K, then d/f,D/F,f+P (crouching dash with upper-cut) then f,f+K,K... almost 70% damage /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

if you in a small arena with wall, after the d/f, D/F, f+P, do a b,f+P+K, b,f+P+K, P,P,P (work with light character only)

SG-Lion

 

Actually, d/f D/F, f+p, b,f+P+K, b,f+P+K, b,f+P+K,P,P works on mids and can be done open screen. Heavys you can just leave out the first b, f+P+K.

 

I'm up to Subjagator with him myself (446-43), and in my experience, u+k,k-u+p is the biggest weaknes in the AI, abuse this move 'till the cows come home (or something like that). One of my other fav. juggle combos is b,b+k-p+k-f,f+k,k-d+k+g or d+k,k-u+p. I hope some of these help out.

A word of warning though: Though these moves may work quite well against the AI, a human will catch on after just ONE try almost all the time... so remember to mix it up when it's the real thing... don't say I didn't warn you...

 

,+, is my favorite combo with Lion too. I've found it's easy to hit them when they're coming after you after you back dash, and also sometimes right after connecting with +,. You have to vary your routine of course, but I've found it to be his best combo against any kumite opponent.

 

High King Lion, 1150-140, 88% average. I found it easy to trick out my opponents every time in the matches. A good technique for the A.I. to just punch with lion and instantly grab them after. i also like starting off a match with and then and then finish off with a pounce jump. it works well.
