I met Katsu at TFC. He's a cool guy. Sorry to hear about his recent misfortune. I hope his health and finances recover soon.

Good Tools for the match Up Close Range Momiji dominates this range with her wide array of i12 pokes. In order to hit any kind of buttons at this range, Hayate must put himself at a big risk. 6P: Beats Momiji's 4P, 3P, 1P, 6P and 2P. Loses to H+K, K, 7K and P. Obviously 6P will be very helpful...

Punishment 66PP and 236P: Both of these strikes put Momiji at -11 but watch out! The recovery on this move is insane. If you want to 33T her you will need to anticipate the attack otherwise you are probably better off using an i7 grab. 8K: I see a few players use this move as a part of their...

Hello Everyone, I started this thread so that we could discuss one of our most dreaded match ups: Momiji. Here we can discuss the challenges one faces in this match up as well as strategies to help alleviate the curve. Feel free to post any questions, comments or useful information. I will...

I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything but TFC just seems like an awfully remote location being in North Carolina and all. Maybe this is why so many aren't able to make it out?

How is it so many people showed up for SJ8, a preliminary to TFC, but so many people are ducking out of the final event? Come on guys! $8000 dollar pot bonus! If we don't support this game then how do you expect Team Ninja to do the same?

Loved the ending to the first one

Safe tech ups are a reality. On tall walls PP6K is a safe force tech that is really hard to avoid without tech rolling. If they tech up manually, they tech into your pressure. You can also do PP to telegraph the force tech and then let them tech roll into a mix up. On short walls use Tenbu...

That's extremely specific but it does work. Nice find Takeda. After PP6PK W! you have a lot of options so you don't need to sacrifice your damage. Try PP2K if your opponent isn't tech rolling the wall splat. If they are then just do the PP part to threaten.

Quite easily Infact. Just loop 214 214 214. I do a drum roll motion on the 2 and 4 buttons.

I used a hitbox for a while to play DoA. I gave it up because it's impossible to do Raijin on a hitbox. I had a hard time just grasping the motion let alone trying to put it in practice. Outside of that the hitbox has some unique advantages. Strengths Fastest stagger is easy Never accidentally...

So far it seems level 2 stun (counterhit) is where the magic is for Hayate. I think the unholdable setups are most useful on heavies which we don't get much damage on to begin with. The best tool here is probably (level 2) 8P → PPKK → 236K. The set up for 33KK works on most tech rolls but...

I feel like Hayate doesn't gain a whole lot from abusing the unholdable bug. Not because he doesn't have viable options but because his other okizemi options are just that good. Why potentially risk losing momentum in the event the opponent doesn't tech when we have options that simultaneously...

LOL! People don't realize how good 7K really is. There's a GOOD reason why it's so unsafe on block.

Money Match!

Let me find out how much space we got. I'll give them a call today.

Sure! I can PM you some info if you're serious. I will be bringing my set up with me too. The room I have isn't at the event itself but there is a free shuttle service going to and from the event.

Keep in mind that if 236K will hit then so too probably will 8K which is a launching mid. That sounds like a pretty good mix up to me.

Be warned that the game does not buffer normal standing wake ups. That means there's a good chance that someone will wake up a frame or two late if you try to use it as an unholdable set up. 33T is an untechable knockdown. Here's what I got so far: (Level 1 Stun) → 33K or 9K → PPKK... Light...
