CR Transition Analysis Thread

I'm borrowing this over from Calibur Forum, because it's nifty, and prolly an essential part to any semblance of high level Yun play. All credit goes to Vintoks, so thank him, not me.

Crane Transition Analysis
-=-=-=-

This list is to help show you options vs. typical retaliations while in crane.

Your main defensive options:
-=-
CR>B+K~G: Jumps over most attacks and puts you in BT~FC; this move will get you out of a jam vs. people who are familiar with (and exploit) crane's weaknesses (crane is weak vs. 2A, 2K, 3K, Throw). If they whiff basic pokes you will be at mild disadvantage in BT, if they commit to any canned string (AA_BB etc) you get a free BT poke, or mixup of your choice.

CR>A+K: TC under highs and throws; this is strong because it TC’s early, has good wakes, and covers step well (there is hole to left step but step timing is specific).

CR>B: interrupter and B breaker; this move is key because of its range and potential for CH combos, it also helps force hesitation.

CR>K: TJ in early frames; a key pressure move due to its (and CR>K:G’s) frames, it also has good CH damage potential to help force hesitation.

Frame Data reference for "most" of the typical moves in each category:
-=-
As range i10~16
Bs range i15~17
2As range i14~15
2Ks mostly i15
3Ks range i14~18
Throws i16~17

Format Example:

6[A]
-=-
* ~CR>B trades with i19* (fastest interrupt option)
A: CR>A+K evades i11 (TCs under Xianghuas A)/ CR>B+K evades i18 (Jumps Siegs A)
B: Auto evades all (all Bs)/ CR>B+K evades i18 (Jumps Maxi_Sophies 2A/2K: CR>K evades all (all 2A_2K')/ CR>B+K evades all (all 2A_2Ks)
3K: CR>B+K evades i18 (Jumps Rocks 3K)
Throw: CR>A+K_CR>B+K beats throw (These avoid an immediate throw retaliation)

Notes:
-=-=-=-=-

CR>K TJ frames are early in the animation so it is possible to be interrupted by a low or s-low attack partway through the animation, it is also very vulnerable to throws. This is why CR>K TJ is not effective with certain transitions.

CR>B+K is vulnerable to certain moves (like jumping attacks) at impact frames different than indicated on the list.

CR>A+K is vulnerable to crouch throws off of any transition.

Mikosu, thanks for sticky......ing this shit. Peeps need to read this if they want to find any real success with Yun. Also, Vintoks devoted a hell of a lot of time to this, so it's a shame that nobody seems to be paying attention to it.
 
Don't know where to put this, so I might as well post it here.

CR auto evade -23 on block, credit goes to Mikosu.
