Punishing Low Moves - Lion

For characters with Lt, this is not so much of a problem. However, I am talking about characters without Lt. To be specific, Lion.

Are there any good moves that you can use to punish your opponent after you blocked their low sweep/kicks or their low raising attacks? Elbow doesn't work because of D, f+P.

Thanks.

 

You can do elbow still. Usually the recommended method is to buffer a forward dash to bring Lion standing, but b,b, f(G), and b(G) seem to work for me. So from crouch -> f,f(G) -> f+P. Done very quickly, and the elbow will execute like normal and you shouldn't see the dash.

P.S. This method was already outlined in my Lion Dojo. /versus/images/icons/wink.gif /versus/images/icons/smile.gif /versus/images/icons/wink.gif

 

Yep, a forward dash forces your character to stand just like a crouch dash forces your character to crouch. If you want the standing elbow after blocking a sweep, just enter in f,f,f+P as if you were doing Akira's super dashing elbow. You'll get the attack you want.

Lion players: (I know so little about the mantis geek...)
Can you use one of the attacks that gives you a kazure down on normal hit in this situation? Or do these attacks knock down if you use them to minor counter?

(I'm too lazy right now to look up example attacks or chk out the Lion dojo to see if it's mentioned there... /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif)

 

I could never seem to do that to punish low moves. maybe it is my fingers. anyway that is the problem for Lion. How about a knee? Lion looks like having initiative on minor counter so not too bad. better than d_f+p.

 

Yeah what is wrong with doing Lion's knee (f+k),

I haven't paid much attention to countering the low punch.

How much faster is the elbow vs the knee, after blocking low punch?

f, f(g),f+p vs f+k


In terms of speed, range, followup, iniative, stagger properties aren't both moves similar?

Anyone want to comment?

 

For one thing, a knee will be much easier to do than a f f (g) f+p.

Wonders if anyone obeserved how chibita punish low moves.

 

Chibita generally always does the elbow from buffer dash cancel.

f, f (g), f+p

I can't tap fff as fast as I used after 4 years of Quake. Thats why I gave up my Akira

Lion's warp

Nycat you could probably explain to me the deal with this : When Lion goes for straight u+P knockdown and goes for a ground swipe (d/f+P), when opp. QRs they get warped to a standing position (?!?!) not to mention the ground swipe misses... I've seen it before but only really noticed it yesterday when Satan Shark was playing Lion against me ( Akira | Wolf | Kage ) and it pretty much applied to all chars. and all other machines...

 

Re: Lion's warp

Here's another thing I'm too lazy to find the answer too, it's not nearly as weird.
What is it we see in the recent chibita movies that looks like some sort of high punch inashi/sabaki/something? Look in daioh_1-19noji5.wmv - lion sort of raises both hands up, brings them down, and akira is suddenly stumbling while lion's close to his side. Lion then throws. It's similar in animation to aoi's new d/b+P I think.

 

Re: Lion's warp

That's his catch throw -- f, db+P+G. Sometimes he chains it with the standard throw followup, sometimes he just does the catch throw dodge and does a different attack instead.

 

Re: Lion's warp

CreeD, if I'm not mistaken, that's Lion's catch throw (f, db+P+G). It functions a lot like Akira's Fake Grasping Mind throw.
