Best situations to enter Shippuujin at close range

Just wondered, I notice many players like to enter the stance off the back of 2P+K, I guess you use the fact that your opponent may be blocking because he has to prepare incase you complete the sequence with K. And I guess this kind of relies to a degree on Yomi as to wether you've done the move before.

Another way I've noticed, is when the players opponent is expecting a throw, just wondered wether the options you get from the stance make it worth it, but he does seem to turn from a reactive evasive character into an offensive badass in this stance.

Pinch of salt because I'm not the most experienced with the game, but I've been spamming transitions into this lately because it seems to have so many possibilities.

 

i go for it after 3kp lands while they are ducking.

I go for it in very different situations and I try to go to it from different kind of moves not just 2P+K for example.

To keep pressuring i sometimes go for it after I counter with 1PK or when I stagger with an elbow.

It think crouch stagger /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif has got to be the best entry, lots of advantage. I also like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif at a distance cause of how much ground it covers. And /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

The other benefit of using 6P to go into shippuujin is that you can choose to go to jumonji. Don't forget that you can to both stances with 4K as well.

After hit confirmation, never after a blocked attack(at close range)

I've only been playing him for two days so..

But yeah those would be my three of choice as well. Been using /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif more than /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif but they seem identical as it is.

 

Re: Best situations to enter Shippuujin at close r

I've seen youtube vids of this where they go from /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif to shippu facing forward in an instant. How is this done? the command list tells you to hit /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif after /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif but thats for BT shippu. Do I just hit /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif straight away or something? Seems like this would be too slow.
My apologies if this question is retarded.

You can hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif to transition as quickly as possible, but it doesn't really happen in an instant there is still a transition from BT. It just happens very smoothly. It is even less noticeable when Kage has his back towards the screen.
