Welcome back. Are you talking about Gen Fu's 8k and h+k against mid and low wake up kicks, respectively?
Nope. Thats a guess. He has a way around wake up kicks entirely.

I've no idea. I just 8k if I think its mid to counter and pop them up, or h+k if i think its low.
Which console do you play on? I think its time I show you some stuff.

I'm on PS3, PSN ID Taijimonk. I don't have the best internet connection in the world, so invite me at your own risk lol.

Thank you for the clarification, but not needed...

Yes I believe we can at least have a steady connection. It just might be slow
I see I have something of a reputation, haha.
But no, seriously. If you understand the game mechanics on a basic, fundamental level, a brief look at his tools will reveal why he is considered a top tier character. Going into more depth just reinforces that view. Gen Fu has some tricky secrets, but you don't even to know them to understand why the character is such a threat. Knowing will just solidifies that position even more. The meta-game discussion then sends it into overdrive.
If you don't get that, I think your confusion would derive more from lack of game knowledge rather than lack of knowledge about Gen Fu. If you understand the game, you will look at Gen Fu, and you will see it. If you don't, you have a lot to catch-up on, and there are plenty of better places to do that than this thread. I'm not sure any amount of my explaining things here would do any good if you don't understand the fundamentals (as well as some of the important nuances) of the game's mechanics and workings.

That may very well be true. Me not understanding enough about the game mechanics that is. To clarify my view though, even if I thought he was mid tier, I wouldn't disagree strongly with him being top tier. But the best character in the game? I still don't think so. Oh well. No one is really coming out and saying they think or do not think he is the best. That was the whole purpose of the thread, but I got some good information regardless. Thanks everybody for all the replies
Just for the record, I think he's the best.
Yeah taiji if you learn genfu more you'll see. I showed you a glimpse of his potential tonight
I think GenFu is the best in the game,
Because of, well, 3P.
Shit still gives me nightmares.

Then there's a very very.... very high probability that you're playing Gen Fu wrong or the game wrong... or both =/
There's alot of detail in this thread explaining why he's the best in this game. Great oki vortex, i11 mid, 3p that crushes highs and puts the opponent into an instant 50/50 situation where they have to guess, parries that lead back into the stun game, insane damage, 214p gives him mobility, 4p6p anti tracking and NH combo, and a bunch of other shit I missed.. I think? He just doesn't require as much guessing as other characters to win.

And I appreciate that. Your gen fu is definately the best I've seen, and I saw some things I haven't seen before. My opinion might change once I delve into him and the other characters more
Lol. Okay. I used to 3p all the time, but most good players will counter me or throw me, so I've been hesitant to use that as a crush all the time
As I told the one person earlier, that may be the case. Maybe I'll change my mind later
That only works if you're more knowledgeable than the vox populi.
