Block strings you've figured out

Name any block string you've figured out. For any character!

```
(Example: a commonly known block string is ryu's lk tatsu (whiffed) into throw. Another common one is Urien's headbutt (whiffed) into his throw.)

````

Block Strings:
Ryu- do a f.MP in front of your opponent (whiff) and as they try to counter attack, go into sweep
Ryu- lk tatsu into shoryuken. (works well if the opponent has seen you tatsu throw a million times)
Ryu- fireball into mule kick. idk why but this one tends to land a lot.

Urien- f.MK then throw

Necro- standing MP, then immediately standing HP. it lets them think they have a chance to move but it tends to end with them getting hit by the HP

Ken- crouching lp/lk twice and the third time do a sweep kick. i've seen one guy consistently do c.LP, c.MP.c.MK, c.HK as an alternate. the different animations can confuse the opponent

Remy- disc into his half circle back kick

I can't remember any more right now. But yeah lots of people do these without realizing them. Which ones work for you?

One thing Q will do is do a neutral j.HK on you after a hard knockdown and immediately follow up with his command grab.

These aren't called blockstrings, they're called frame traps.

A blockstring is something such as crouching LK, LP, LK. Blockstrings keep your opponent stuck in block so you can keep them where you want them and continue pressure.


Frametraps, if done correctly, are to hit your opponent no matter what button he presses so long as he doesn't do a super/invincible move or block/parry. For example, with Makoto if you land cLK xx Dash punch and follow up with her command throw the person will get grabbed by it if they do anything other than jump or super.

Those aren't blockstrings, they're freakin' gimmicks.

Ok, then post your frame traps / gimmicks.

Any shoto:
Blocked low kick to hadoken has some nice pushback if you dont get that hit confirm you were looking for

You can get SRK'd through it by another shoto if they see you're doing it a lot though.

I do this a lot with Hugo but I guess it works with any characters. Whiff low short attacks, then sweep. With Necro I do a shallow dive drill (jump press down + HK) then sweep.

bumpyuket!
