- Not necessarily. A perfectly timed knock-over sweep will knock down
- an opponent when he gets up, because the opponent has to first get up
- before he can go into defense (check out the animation closely). It's
- at this point that you can knock him down...although, I must admit, it's
- hard to time with a Ken/Ryu footsweep, but with, say, Chun's roundhouse
- pushover, it's actually pretty easy (that is, until they reach the end
- of the screen, then the timing gets really difficult because the stand up
- much quicker for some odd reason...I guess it's because they don't fall as far
- because the wall stops them).
-
- Jumping just simply seems to be a more instantaneous move than to try to
- crouch block. You're already standing anyways, it's just like your
- continuing the motion. A good way to see how well it works is to use
- Chun Li against Zangeif...Zan's make lunch meat out of most Chun's that
- jump in. But try jumping in with her (land just in front...if you let them
- walk under your jump your almost guaranteed dead meat)...now most Zan's
- will try to do a SPD on you, but immediately jump straight up. Using
- this technique, I can avoid a SPD approx 90% of the time. And it requires
- almost no skill...you just have to be a little creative in it's uses.
-
- Now, I don't know how well it works with characters other than Chun...after
- all, Chun does have one of the quickest jumps there is...but it's worth
- a shot.
