    those are prettymuch your only options if they are 'turtling' (blocking low, constantly)
    
    best practice i've found is to work your 'poke' game at that point, make them go on the offensive instead of going all out attack yourself, and giving the person you're fighting plenty of opportunities to counter with moves of their own.
    
    Jumping in was a very viable approach in SF3, because you could mid air parry the dragon punch and followup with some good attacks.

                can you focus attack in mid air to overcome a shoryuken? If so, then I shall dance a happy dance indeed. : riedlos
