El Fuerte General Discussion Thread

Its actually very effective. Some characters CAN’T catch him done properly, and when they’re chasing you, well, it can lead to easier punishment opportunities when they start getting reckless, Noobs will start getting extra Jumpy (EX Guac, then corpse hop and run away) or will spam forward Dash (Perfect time for some Quesadilla Bomb)

Looking at some videos (Namely the TKD vs everyone) and Thinking back to the Asswhuppity X that saco busted on me Sunday night… I’m looking at his backdash. It’s short as hell, but Saco using it like he did makes me think I need to backdash more often.

On that note. SACO: Gimme some feedback will ya?!?

Edit again: Exactly how fast is Tortilla’s Recovery??? it seems to recover faster then it looks… not as fast as say, Blanka Vert ball. but still real fast

I am not sure if this helps, but here is all the frame info for Fuerte: http://www.eventhubs.com/guides/2008/nov/13/el-fuerte-frame-data-street-fighter-4/

If you check the recovery data for tortilla and compare it with other moves from Fuerte and other characters, you would get a rough idea on how fast is the recovery relatively.

Densuo, we have to play more games and I’ll give you feedback. Something wasn’t clicking for you that night.

I backdash on wakeup sometimes because if it works for them, why can’t it work for me?

3+16 is listed for Propeller Tortilla So I guess 19frames of recovery? MIDOINITRITE!?!

Hurp de derp. I guess I can look forward to more facestompings. XD

Hmmm looking at Gordita Sobat. And how we all hate it, I see the frame data, But now, I think of one thing. There has to be something here.

Gordita Sobat: 18 recovery. +1 on block +5 on hit 20 block stun
compared to
Shower Kick : 11 recovery +1 on block +5 on hit 13 block stun

There’s a 7 frame difference in recovery, which is made up for in Block stun… wouldn’t this mean that Gordita Sobat should be able to lead us into the LP block string?

Didnt get anywhere with it today, while messing aoround and recompleting trials (ps3 was replaced so I had to start over) I hit a character with gordita sobat and combo’d far standing LP, I just dont remember who it was

Didnt do anything but just get my ass kicked more online. Got grabbed when I got up, even though I grabbed myself, shouldnt that be a tech? :shake:

Squandered three win opportunities and lost the final round of the day via perfect, real frustrating stuff.

At least I turned the tables on a Turtling Guile… killed the clock to win the second round. too bad I fucked up and got Ultra’d at the third round.

I tried going into LP from Gordita. It always pushes the opponent too far so you can only get far standing LP. It does combo though.

I was just thinking. low MK, run, Gordita, low MK, run, Gordita, low MK, run, Gordita… Won’t combo but could be useful.

found out you can tortilla guile’s ultra after the first kick haha. did it on accident and you can’t do it on reaction as far as i know.

Gah. I did it to Guile, Gordita -> Crouch LP but its not enough damage to be anything worthwhile. I just need to see if it’s viable as a blockstring.

Also, Q-Bomb beats EX Hasanshu on reaction

I wonder what moves do we have that can be FADC’d out of besides Q-Bomb… Granted we have no combos anyway so eh.

Alright fellas,

We all know Fuerte is a lucha and luchas are all about the flash. So I present you with a useless / flashy new move in our repertoire usable when you have meter to burn against an opponent about to be KO’ed in the final round.

EX RSF.

Because we can. :smokin:

I pulled this off in casuals burning four ex bars, you look like a GOD…a god with too much time on his hands.

Lol, EX RSF. That’s brilliant.

Gordita sobat can be FADCed, but nothing useful can be linked. I guess you could use it to bait a Focus, then punish their Focus with your own Focus.

EX RSF sounds like the ultimate insult…

damnit i wanna watch dawgtan play but the stream blows

Hes too nervous or hes just choking missed cross up fierce everytime almost hopefully he can shake off the jitters. Sucks he had to play sanford first stream match.

I think he did everything right, but he did miss alot of cross up fierce. Funny Sandford had to counter pick though…

How did sanford counterpick akuma is who he always plays?? It was either akuma or sagat lol I’d rather have akuma.

I’d rather have Sagat, it’s a difference in opinion relax. Maybe you just haven’t fought a good Akuma I dunno

Lol no one is overreacting I just asked how he counterpicked. After playing good sagats then playing ed ma and leviathan I would still rather have akuma.

Yeah, I prefer Akuma if only because I only need to get in 2-3 times in order to take him out. With Sagat I have an easier time getting in, but he can take so much damage and deal so much out so quickly that I think it’s a rougher match overall.

oh yeah Akuma isn’t a counter pick for fuerte at all…

I’ll take Either of them over Gief. but Akuma is easier to kill.
