I see this term getting thrown around sometimes among high level 3s competitions, aren’t all matches technically “free style”??
you would think so. I’ve never heard this
It usually refers to players who charge partition with outstanding proficiency and allow charge moves to seem fluid and unrestricted (Messatsu Yarou), but it can also refer to a similar method of using Genei-Jin combos and block strings that involve complex karas and unusual cancels despite seeming to be “made up” on the spot “Tackle Maeda, (recent Ochibi matches)”.
Although it could also refer to any sort of unorthodox play style which despite being ineffective on paper, seems to win a player matches “Umehara, Kuroda”.
And here I thought it was just a polite way to say mashing.
Freestyling is where you make the arcade machine your bitch, using the coin slot as the point of entry.
freestyling is a term use to player who use the characters in a unconventional way. i.e. Daigo’s Ken, Frankie3s’ Ryu.
Freestyling is where you just play how you want.
Rarely happens in a tournament unless one of the players is exceptionally better than the other.
For example, Jiro almost ALWAYS tries to freestyle with his crazy akuma even against good players. Biggest reason for him getting killed.
Daigo freestyling in a certain infamous match…
Top Jap players when they play foreigners (at least 80% of the time).
Ah i see. Sounds like another word for random play, only it’s random play by guys who actually know wtf they’re doing.
Was Daigo’s Ken really that unconventional?
kashi (KE) is a good example.
at least i think that’s his name. he was in that one gvision ranbat and everybody thought he was a scrub because of how random he played.
YES!!
Daigo’s Ken wasn’t ‘unconventional’ - he was just so good at the time that he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it.
Kashi-san… I honestly dont know. When we played him in casuals, he was just the most solid Ken player I’ve come across. Then we see him in tournaments sledge hammering everyone with shoryus. So freestyling or very good guessing… I dunno.
I just watch a bunch of Kashi last night and that guy is my hero. He has a good mix up game consisting of mix of good solid Ken play and stuff like walk up shoryu. Victory favors the bold.
i freestyle by repeatedly mashing down and forward and hitting the buttons like i’m spreading butter with my palm
I freestyle by hit confirming a super into a headspin into a windmill
eyedea is gay. white guys shouldn’t rap
drobizh is gay. gays guys shouldn’t post on srk
Rofl. Ok back on topic, it’s what R_T_S_D said. The end.
Kashi free styles harder than anyone…his ex tatsu cross up dash shoryu is godlike.
Yarou
Messatsu Yarou also has a very nice style:

Best round of all time
freestyling + charge partitioning = good for your eyes
