Howdy, thought we might start a discussion regarding Gen Fu's match-ups and what you believe to be the case. Remember that this is just speculations at this time, but I'll still want to hear your opinions, so we could get some estimates up and running.

5 means equal, 6 means you win 6 of 4 if you are equally good, and 4 the other way around.

I'll give an example as I view things.

Gen Fu vs
Akira
- 5
Alpha152 - 5
Ayane - 6 (Gen Fu's favor)
Bass - 5
Bayman - 5
Brad - 5
Christie - 5
Eliot - 5
Hayate - 5
Helena - 5
Hitomi - 4
Jann - 4
Kasumi - 5
Kokoro - 5
Leifang - 5
Lisa - 5
Mila - 5
Pai - 5
Rig - 5
Ryu - 5
Sarah - 4
Tina - 5
Zack - 5
New crew:
Rachel - 5
Ein - 5
Momiji - 5
Leon - 6
Jacky - 5

My experience with Gen Fu is 0. This list is simply made of from other MUs and the rest has been set to 5 so you kind folks have something to contribute towards. In other words I am counting on you to speak your mind and influence these scorings greatly.

Here is the complete match-up rating discussion

Hoping for some good replies!

Wow, nobody? Hmm

I'm new to this concept of MUs, then again I'm somewhat new to analyzing DOA at a very deep level.

I main Gen Fu, and I have problems with evasive characters mostly. Lei Fang, Ayane, Helena. Ones that crush or can move. Most of Gen Fu's good stuff is short/mid range. I'm surprised to see Gen Fu getting the nod over Ayane.

I've always thought of Gen Fu as a very good character, very balanced in most araes, but lacking in speed. Not particularly better at anything than any other characters except striking/juggle damage

Perhaps I'm over simplifying it , but 5 against most except for evasive characters who can poke at range: Helena and Lei fang especially, and ayane for evasiveness and speed...

As Christie what do I need to do to kill this geriatric bastard? My first instinct is to just zone him out but it seems whenever he hits a button he wins out for some reason.

:6::P: works wonders to get you in and will win you a stun.
Another thing which is very effective against Gen is her JAK (crouching side step) with follow ups (:2::K::2::K: works well).
Also :2::H+K: :2::P: often gives you a low entrance into a setup from good range.

It is basically about working yourself around his strengths. Christie got a little bit better range, and superior side stepping abilities. If you allow the neutral game to simply be a trade of blows without SS, then you will probably lose out in the statistically mind games over the course of 5 games.

Is this ghost town forum still alive? Just a little question: now that he was nerfed would you consider him way weaker than before? Being -7 on some good strings should make some grapplers happy, or everyone else too since he already was a mid heavy character. Now he has many mids with his safety gone

Well that one guy who always used Gen Fu at tourneys stopped using him after he got his nerfs and was talking about "See you guys later in DOA6" so I would say yeah he is weaker. But he's still cheap and considered one of the best in the game
