Hell, blocked green hand isn't just free throw, you can basically do whatever the hell you want. Decent giefs wont just toss them out, though. They're for closing space and ending combos. Cr.fierce is good, but not foolproof. All gief has to do is get a decent lead or a knockdown, then the match is done.
Yeah the matchup consists of footsies and baiting out that EX greenhand. Gief with a lead is dangerous, sure, but in a typical situation you'd be chipping away at him while he's trying to close in. Gief/Rufus is a 4/6 matchup according to the SRK matchup charts, and I think it's that way because Rufus has the tools to keep Gief out.
Of course I agree with the pickingSagat. That works wonders.
also KP: I beat inferno diablo with my barb after killing every elite in the act.
6/4 in rufus's favor? I don't agree with that.
Ex messiah is a bad idea. If its blocked, you just lost, and gief has the health to afford eating a couple. Hanging back and chipping him out won't work, because you don't have anything to chip with.
Gief can force rufus into a dozen situations where the rufus player has to guess. Rufus doesn't have that luxury, its all reads and praying the gief makes a really stupid mistake like a raw ex hand

Have an awesome time
I'm pretty sure someone linked it at the very end of the last thread and gave the time for it.
My Athena is actually kinda legit so as long as I can carry my team a bit with Athena before I get to Clark and Iori I do really well.
If she gets owned though... well it doesn't go very well for me after that.
Is this what you're looking for? Except this was against PR Rog

Same Twitch.tv time. Same leveluplive channel.
It's a close matchup either way. Personally the Rufus moves I have most trouble against are:
EX Messiah - if Rufus reads Gief right, it's essentially a get-out-of-jail free card
cr. Fierce - beats Lariat, huge range
double jump kicks into EX snake - less damage than before but it stops Gief from being able to reliably jump in
anti-air pokes - I forget which inputs these are but he has a crouching anti-air and a neutral jump anti-air that seems to keep Gief out. The neutral jump option beats EX greenhand attempts
FADC backdash on wakeup - whoops there goes the Gief mixup if I didn't read it right
Gief can only force errors once he gets in, but before that without EX greenhand he just gets pushed out by damaging options. Once he gets in, the mixup games start but a properly timed EX messiah resets the setting. I think it's 4/6 because Rufus has the ability to get out of danger once he's trapped, unlike the 6/4 matchup of Gief/Dictator where Dictator also has tools to keep him out but gets screwed once Gief gets in because he doesn't have Rufus' exit options.
Probably because he got sick of defending all the dumb decisions they made (gems).
After looking up stuff on SRK... yeah you're probably right. Rufus players tend to not like that matchup while Gief players favor it, due to Gief getting the damage from footsies while Rufus relies on anti-air and punishing stupid mistakes.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
Just too broke. ;[ Gives me an extra few months to prepare I guess..I just hope the game doesn't change for the worse.
How am I going to learn fighting games if you don't sell me fighting games?
