        Hey Kabeer, you do know about his fwd + B, right?
        Standing C, fwd + B, Special move combo (his standard
        combo is jump D, standing C, fwd + B, D-button Slash Kick).
        Why don't you try doing jump D, standing C, fwd + B, df + D,
        Screw Upper? I don't know if the df + D combos from the
        fwd + B, but the above combo works without the df + D.

        He isn't cheap. He's got some power and some nice combos,
        but I think Terry outclasses him on both counts. Other than
        that, Joe hasn't got anything to distinguish him. No overhead,
        and no command throw (command throws, as in '96, beat
        everything, as you know), so he has no 'edge' to put him
        higher up in the rankings. His normals are fairly good, but
        they don't seem to have unfair speed and priority (his
        stronger ones, like his far standing D, come out a little
        too slow to be used cheaply; his far standing B is kind of
        irritating, but nothing like Terry's). He's on the level.

        You can't do that. Joe takes too long to recover from
        the Hurricane Upper, and there are [lamentably] no
        super cancels.

>Also any1 notice Joe's Corner Trapping ...

        He's been corner trapping since '95 with the Golden Heel.
        (Sweep, Golden Heel.)

        MAX Roll, kill Joe. (Or anticipate, roll, kill Joe.)
        It's not that good, trust me. It's fair.

        Doesn't work; if you do the C Hurricane Upper from
        anywhere near, you'll get hit back, since Joe takes
        so long to recover. So don't worry, Joe isn't cheap
        or overpowered this time around, though he does have
        some nice combos. Too bad he doesn't have the
        Pressure Knee, though (except at the end of his lame-assed
        Ryuuko Ranbu ripoff).

actually, it's not that tough after all, just straight jump while you're in the
corner and your opponent does a dashing attack.. like Iori's twilight ride... I
just
straight jumped over it today and infinited him.. tsk, tsk.he also has some
incredibly huge large ass corner combos, and some neat juggles, but more on hat
later..for now please try out the following things... pretty please...
far A, crouch C.
dwnfwd +B, A hurricane upper.
while opponent is in air.. golden heel, run close A hurricane upper.
B slash kick, A hurricane upper, B golden heel.

I'd try these myself,.. but I'm broke.
WAH! ;_;
