    As the only Gen player who is active on the forums I try to look for all sorts of combos that I can use. Gen does have some crazy combos that require stance changes just for one attack sometimes.

    But there is one combo that I have tried to pull off which is S.MK-->Hands but decided to forget trying to learn cause of one thing: It requires me to wear a glove. It requires you to press MK then quickly slide your fingers to input exactly 5 inputs ending with a HP input. This is required cause after doing it once you can do the combo again with strick timing. What makes it even more frustrating is that this is considered one of Gens B.N.B combos. Yes I know this sounds crazy but if you dont wear the glove it can tear up your fingers pulling it off. It does have a piano style but that is more complecated.

    Here is a video of what im talking about:

      


    But this what could happen if the combo is done correctly and in the right moment. You will see what i mean at about 1:05 but the whole match is good:

    @SpecialBuddy: That looks like more of a reset glitch than a combo.

    Wanna hear some hilarious bullshit of epic bullshitery?
    My buddy came down for a visit. Hadn't seen him in a while so it was pretty cool. He'd NEVER played street fighter 4 yet and me and my other buddy have been playing it off and on since it came out. He wasn't doing so well just getting used to the controls again, and then he picked Gen.

    He ended up going 6 and 0 agasint me and my other buddy and we were absolutly baffled. I guess it goes to show there is a character for everyone.

    @MB: I thought that at first but then I figured if a HP can cancel into Hands why not a MK? Im not going to use the combo so I really dont care ether way.

    @zityz: Thats because Gen is a badass.

    I think the main reason Gen can be used so successfully is that most people aren't used to fighting against him. I went over 2,000 online matches without facing a single Gen.

    you don't need a glove, that guy's just a pussy. I've pulled that move off multiple times in a row, using the exact same technique without using a glove/hurting my hands at all,

    @MB: Well its just not because people are not used to fighting him. Gen has some really stronge features: 1) He has the best crossups in the game 2) Two supers and ultras 3) The abillity to combo a super into an ultra and 4) A low jump that is difficult to counter with an anti-air. He might be low ranked on teirs but thats just because no pro players have the balls to play him.

    @Serker: I hate fighting Gief with Gen...this is just great. And you might have a better beard but mine is still pretty great. I can stroke mine in a evil sort of way you cant.

    Yeah I've seen that gen combo before, gen has to work real hard for his combos and deal questionable damage. That said, I still fucking hate Gen. FUCK GEN. Doesn't look like you'd need a glove to me, I slide my fingers across the buttons like that all the time for no reason. It's a pretty smooth ass surface. I think this would benefit from using the latter 6 buttons on the TE/SE, since they're straight across.

    I actually attempted playing Gen for a little while early after the game came out.
    I never could get the handle of his crane stance, however, and quickly abandoned him.

    I double this, but only because I play as Cammy and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get past those Tiger Knees...and because any of my moves are overridden by his Ultra.
