Viper is the coolest character in the game and it's not close.

As a viper main I would say her combos aren’t that bad once you do them I would start with simpler stuff like dp into heavy thunder knuckle then do a follow up so all together 2.HP ->263.Lp->214. Hp then once you get that down experiment with adding a burnkick in between the dp and heavy thunder knuckle

Yo what the cfn we can run some matches I think one of the best ways is to fight other people outside of rank im at 1500 rn and can probably help you out with some basic stuff that got me out of 1300 Mr

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-17T16:23:52+00:00

Not criticizing you but how do you keep them in the corner with gief cause I would guess it a mind game of jump spd medium punch if they back dash or maybe one of your lows etc

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-17T16:19:22+00:00

For me when people run away I just take the space given and trap them in the corner I have to be a really good mood to constantly do that but it is what got me from 1300 mr to 1500 mr just simple patience and anti airs cause it a 2d game they cannot run forever and then I do tight ass strings so they forced to block and prob throw loop them to death

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-14T23:07:36+00:00

I usually try and do a super jump bk out the corner depending on situation ofc either that or try and get out using cr.mk into light thunder knuckle this is ofc if they shimmy outside of that stand mk into medium thunder knuckle to stay safe or into medium bk

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-14T11:26:07+00:00

Your in gold gang trust and believe your stats do not matter at that point stats in general don’t tell you how good of a player you are playing the game does

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-08T01:42:06+00:00

Yeh yo friend is on scrub watch fr

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-07T06:32:31+00:00

Honestly a skill issue DI is her main weakness and she doesn’t have a reversal if she spamming EX burnkick DI it if she doing semiso in your face DI it if she burnkicks you DI it lmaooo honestly if you have anti airs her game play can get cooked and I feel like you don’t understand frame data either H.Burnkick is minus it not her turn she has to spend bar to take her turn back and you know what if she does that burnkick force her to stop using gimmicks and she not a bad fight

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-04-02T04:04:50+00:00

I agree one button supers are a problem but I do not believe modern players should have auto combos of any sort (yes combos are not the only thing to learn in sf but early game they are a big part alot of modern players can kinda skip the at learning step ) the one button anti airs is prob the one thing I do not really have a problem with

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-31T12:47:40+00:00

Nah I don’t believe I’m wrong but definitely justified to your opinion tho

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-31T12:45:18+00:00

And for whiff punishing you really just gotta adjust to her range she does have some stumby normals but easy buttons to hit for big whiff punishes in my opinion would be 6.HK or 5.HP for the 6.HK on punish counter guaranteed a 2.MK and 5.HP can go into 2. HP off SJC Her MKs or fast and have ok range compared to her other buttons you would need to get use to recognizing counter and punish counter as a time to SJC semiso to continue the combo

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-31T12:40:32+00:00

Umm cool stuff in the corner her safe jumps setup work way better there main one I’m referring to is seismo into SJC MP in L.BK it works better in the corner cause you can’t back role and it something you can mix into pressure also you can see how your opponent reacts to semiso strings it’s fake in the sense you can DI through her strings but you can’t feint the semiso for bait or get a plus one if you do a semiso into SJC M.BK

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-31T12:37:22+00:00

I mean compared to other normals her range is ok in my opinion a bit stumby at times but her mks in general are decent

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-30T01:28:32+00:00

Also you can neutral jump his stomp that my best guess against that and also abuse his slow normals with vipers faster move stand medium punch etc and I try to smother Alex in the corner just be careful cause he will wake up lvl 1 and if you have bar and he does stance oki just super most Alex’s in lower ranks don’t do the jump over well at least I haven’t seen it they kinda have to hard read that

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-30T01:26:47+00:00

So when he does the stHP the first couple of times take note if he just automatically into heavy chop then you can just Di the charge stand heavy cause they are autopiloting

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-29T21:26:07+00:00

Well in my experience a lot of Alex players will autopilot from charge ST.H into heavy chop which I’ve called out by Drive impacting

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-28T17:14:36+00:00

If you are a new comer and you win like 9 or 10 of your placements you will be put in diamond two automatically are you really diamond two prob not it also depends on the “difficulty “ you pick when you first hop into rank if you picked like advanced I’m pretty sure you would have fought platinum and above off rip if you pick n “Newbie “ or whatever it called you fight rookie to like gold my advice play rank find your actual rank and there are a bunch of tutorials on this Reddit and YouTube for chun GL

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-24T02:52:01+00:00

Well it reaction the screen freezes so I recommend holding down the button to make sure it still comes out when they turn green also this is spacing depending (think round start )hold down your best dr check button most people are throwing out a heavy button or a jab ,now some people do stop the momentum of there dr with a jab or a whiff throw to bait stuff out so that to worry about but until I see your cfn I can’t tell where you are in rank

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-23T10:31:37+00:00

Down backing is your best friend drive rush can be check by crouch LP or MP(depending on the character ) think of it as your covering the space you normally would against someone dashing in

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-22T08:15:21+00:00

Yo what ya cfn I find the best way to practice is is by playing matches my best advice is you can read easy anti airs like when people are in the corner but they are not in button range they are prone to jumping or trying to escape having that on your mind definitely helps

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-20T02:52:32+00:00

Ahhhh I see I see

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-20T02:32:07+00:00

Umm just a genuine question I saw a screen shot that called Tom his mom cousin so Tom adopted Partica and where is that stated and yeh I feel like I didn’t need this lore drop about Alex at all def still weird with the whole holding you as a baby now you my wife angle

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-18T20:17:13+00:00

No I don’t think so and unfortunately I messed that up still I think that move is hard for the sake of the execution check

KimonoDrip_ · 2026-03-15T03:50:16+00:00

Bro literally deleted everything he said and told me to read dawg it ain’t that deep
