Knock them down for oki

A) Don't always play by prediction, it can make you predictable yourself if your opponent is one step ahead. Sometimes it's best to just play the pure risk/reward numbers game. If you don't need to pressure them on their wakeup and can't do it safely, then don't, even if you're pretty sure it will work, because why take the risk?
B) Safejumps nigga

>what is a safe jump

Because you keep trying to play against yourself instead of them

>Anti air on opponent's wakeup
>Letting your opponent just get up for free everytime
The fuck is wrong with you?

I'm playing shit fighter V. Ain't no safejumps in this game.

I don't know
I'm a Tekken fag

I never bothered with SFV but wasn't the big complaint about that game that DPs were garbage? There's no way safejumps don't exist

They removed meterless invincibility on all DPs

>only EX DPs are invincible
>you can basically melt half their lifebar when you block a dp
V is the easiest game to deal with wakeup DPs. Stop being a crybaby.

I play Sagat. I get more damage off of anti-airs than oki unless I got full meter. Even then, I guess wrong in oki and they're right on my ass, which is exactly the opposite of what I want. Also I can't get reliable oki on shit other characters tend to because of my shitty dash.

That not only isn't true, but if they don't have meter, then why safe jump in the first place because DPs aren't fucking invincible and you could have done a crush counter. What are you trying to fucking do, SPD the guy on wakeup?

So they lose to normal meaties if you don't EX DP?
Oof

>meaty fireball their wakeup
>they take chip and get pushed back
>the only way to avoid chip is invincible reversals
>them being in blockstun at fireball range makes their gorilla brains scream JUMP JUMP JUMP YOU GOTTA JUMP RIGHT NOW HE'S GONNA THROW ANOTHER ONE JUMP at them
meaty fireball is the patrician's choice in wakeup pressure

>Delays getup

Yes

>try the same thing everytime
try something different, maybe some taunt or t-bag just to provoke and make him think "now what he's going to do?"

Not only that, but most characters get extra counterhit damage. Typical low level SFV situation:

>Hard knockdown
>Opponent tries to meterless DP on wakeup
>You use Urien meaty HP
>This gives you crush counter, allowing you to F+MP, HP Aegis Reflector combo for around 30%, into another 50/50 where you have an Aegis Reflector above them, so they don't have any reversal options, leading to another 30%, and stun. If you got full meter at this point, you can do one more combo and you'll pretty much win the round.

I've never been much of a SF guy but man everything I hear about that game is just wack

>That not only isn't true
Who gets consistent reliable safejump setups? G? That's one character out of all of them and he has to give up damage for it.

Urien's st.hp is such a fucked up button
It's a Third Strike tier button

to be fair you gain meter pretty fast

>dude just OS it XD

Or you could just not have one-dimensional interactions that add little to the depth.

No wonder no plays this shitty genre.

I find it easier to deal with dp in sf4, because nearly every knockdown is a safejump setup. in SFV you just have to guess/read them. theres no nuance to it. Game is shit.
