Balance Who thinks Gen Fu is the best in the game?

Yes, he has guarantees off his parries. Use training mode, set the A.I to strike hi or mid, set their reaction to guard all, set their options to Critical hold at fastest. Set Critical hold type to high hold. Parry the A.I.'s strike, follow up with 8PP.
You're welcome.

Lol, what's a typical gen fu player, cause I'm probably not it.
Thank you HaijinShinobi for your response. I'll look at all of that in training mode.
Back to my original question though, do you guys really think that makes him the BEST IN THE WHOLE GAME? Above every other character. Hey, I'm not a complete scrub. I've been playing Gen Fu casually for about 8 years. Have an A+ in ranked, mostly with gen fu & brad. Have an 84% win with Gen fu in ranked, ranked at 15 overall with Gen Fu. I credit that to his well-roundedness and how long I've been playing him. I think he's a good character, but I just don't see how he's the best or even great compared to some of the other monsters out there. I play everybody and can find a way to beat any character, but some haracters just seem like a really bad matchup for him, and do seem like better characters overall. Thanks for the input and patience with me. Still trying to learn all the fighting game jargon

Actually, it may be jabs that interrupts it for me, it may not be mids. My fault
Online rank does not definite skill. Also my name is not spelled Haijin, it's Hajin lol.
No one is saying he's the best period, we are saying he is definitely top tier because of the information a few of us shared in this thread.

Oh ok. I'm on my tiny phone trying to scroll and read everything. Hajin, got it.
I understand online rank does not define skill. I just wanted to clarify to some that I have some experience with Gen Fu, which is why I find it unbelievable how some can think he's the best. Which was the point of this thread in the first place. I was curious to find out how many out there actually believe that. I was told it was the vast majority of players that think that he's the best. That's mind boggling to me

Wrong. I've played gen fu for so long because he's my favorite, before I even knew about this top tier nonsense. Unless your talking about tournament play. If Team Ninja ever drops Fu from the roster, I'll stop playing doa. When I started doa 4 I played jann lee and got my ass kicked match after match. I must have lost 100 matches before I won one. Then my friend who had the game (i was playing over at his house) showed me gen fu, said he was easy to play. I immediately took a liking to him because he was the kung fu master. I would just go complete troll on people with the 3p, weaving in and out of stuff, I thought it was hilarious how I could use this old man and suh a simple looking move to evade and hit and actually win a match evey now and then. Then I actually started to learn the character in depth, and have basically played only him since. He was the first character I actually learned and was good at, so he's my favorite...not because he's "top tier" or cheap, like some people think -_-
His toolset just works together really really well. Unless he's across the screen, he just continuously forces you to make guesses that are severely in his favor. It's 2D okizeme in a 3D game. Once he gets going, he just forces you into mixup after mixup. He has one of the best crushes in the game, he's fast, he has good whiff punishment, he has launchers on 3 levels, he has ridiculously high stun launch damage, he has a launcher throw, a frame advantage throw that does hella damage, he has parries with guaranteed followups, his juggles lead to mixups that you're to respect, and he's heavyweight. The only tools he lacks are ranged tools and Akira's 2P.
His stun launch damage isn't higher than Ayane's. I don't consider his stun launch damage ridiculous, just very good.
Hella good.

What is the highest damage stun launch combo that you can do with ayane? I have maxed out gen fu at 156 not including counter/hi-counter damqge
No, stun launch as one guess after a stun. Like CH 3PP 33P 33P 16P.
I can do 102 damage from KK > 4P+K stun to launch lol. Ayane does not need to work the Critical stun threshold so much to deal a lot of damage from stun to launch.

Oh, I mean a combo in which you max out the critical stun state, followed by a critical burst, then pop up

How is that better than gen fu, though?
genfu needs at least level 2 critical stun threshold to do damage that high. Ayane does not.

Alright. I never play ayane, but I'll trust she can do as much damage as gen fu
Someone explain the wake up mix up to him. Im on my phone and dont feel like dishing out the info. Basically gen fu never has to worry about a wake up kick. EVER
