what are some basic strings to keep the pressure on your opponent using lion?

 

In general, I don't think you would want to overemphasize strings in your game because strings are pretty predictable and some of them having gaping weaknesses.

But it is worth discussing strings anyways...

Your basic string, but also one of the most important for almost every character. Whenever you block a standing attack that has a guaranteed counter, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is your guaranteed counter.

Whenever you block some big attack that leaves the opponent standing (not crouching), /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif immediately.

Lion's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif has some wonderful options. For the most part, just do the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif in most cases. But if your opponent starts to low punch after getting hit (or even blocking) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif do the followup /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif is special high and it punishes low punches. It's also VERY DELAYABLE which makes it a wonderful special high (it's hard for most players to resist hitting low punch in this situation).

A good wall pressure string that will add to combos. This is not a string to abuse, but it's quite good when used appropriately. If you hit the opponent with the retreating punch, you'll have a chance to use TRSF (/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif) and add some flair to your pressure game. In this situation, I like using /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif from TRSF.

A fanciful sequence but it can be interrupted or it can leave you wide open if you are not careful. If you successfully hit with the spinning attack, you have a combo. If it's blocked, you have a few options--my favorite being /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif which will punish any low punch habits from any opponent who blocks the sequence.

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
The first move is really good. The second move, only really good when punishing people who are susceptible to low punching or eating delayed attacks. Either way, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif should be in every Lion player's repertoire, so it's worth mentioning the string.

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
Is a nice string from the VF4 days, but isn't as commonly used in VF5. I think this string is more useful for advanced players than beginners or intermediates--despite looking so simple. I wouldn't use it too much, but here are the things I like about it:

-/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is a nice basic poke in place of High Punch. You can use it very much like high punch. I tend to start rounds with this attack.

-/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif alone isn't all that great, except that if you do connect with the second hit, you can force a guessing game on your opponent:

--> followup punch if you think the opponent will block low or attack. If you interrupt an attack, you get a nice combo opportunity. In fact, an easy combo is to do the whole 3 hit sequence /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif two more times (silly when a combo is the same sequence three times in a row).

--> throw if you think opponent will block high or evade.

--> delayed attack/catch throw/sweep if you think opponent will do ETEG (Evade Throw Escape Guard).
