youā€™ve clearly never played online

You could always option select parry/block

Option Select parry forward stomp charge finish with tiger knee motion to down back k + p

Two things being overlooked here.

  1. Not every 3S match gets recorded and uploaded for westerners to watch, and there was even less available pre-Youtube.

  2. The most famous Ryu players back then were Namijin and Ruu, who still seldom use denjin after its ā€˜popularizationā€™ because that super isnā€™t their stylistic preference.

I was gonna say youā€™d have to ask a long-time Japanese player to really know the impact Frankie3S had, but I see ryan covered that. I will say that I definitely found Frankie3S match vids to be pretty inspirational when I was starting out though!

What Japanese players was that again? And what were the individual opinions shared, please?

Nothing against you Ryan but that sounds pretty vague. Who did you ask? Could he not just be trolling (or have a negative attitude towards gaijin players / gaijin 3s)? I donā€™t have a side in this argument of who ā€œinventedā€ denjin ruy, just putting it out there that your message was hella vague.

I remember hearing about the dreaded frankie denjin and how he would use the fireball to force a red parry and scoffing. I then played frankie and double parried the denjin into full denjin parry but then still lost. It was glorious. Iā€™m sure I beat him a few times eventually.

Well I asked and that was what I was told. I donā€™t really care enough to keep asking about the subject to other people so i said ok and posted the answer.

ah, how insightful

Great player and an even greater guy. Always let me watch him play and beast it up. Cheers you motherfucker

The idea that Frankie popularized Denjin in Japan probably isnā€™t too far off. Iā€™m sure they knew how the super worked, but I was at SBO 2003 and all the Ryu players were using SA1 or 2. Vanao did improve that style but he didnā€™t start getting good until a few years later.

I canā€™t believe people are arguing about whether or not Japanese players knew about Denjin 10 years ago. Have you guys heard about the Nagoyan vids? It came out in 1991.

Besides the obvious comprehension of the footsie game, look at what else they already knew about:

They knew about stuff like CPS1 chains a while the rest of the world was still learning how to perform a DP. (BTW, search the forums and newsgroups, back then US players thought they were the ones who discovered it in HF).

To think that players in a country with a video game culture as strong as Japanā€™s didnā€™t know how to use Denjin is just silly.
