its fun for laughs adds a lil spice to the game
Finally new material. Aren’t there any new vids of Marn or JWong? Can only find the Gamestop / EC Throwdown Turneys of them.

Ken I (Rufus) vs (Ryu) Alex Valle - (SBO Qualifier)
[media=youtube]Z63w4G3WvlU[/media] << 2:55
Really interesting how he played the match, alot of roll’s, pokes & throws.
Didn’t anyone would use the roll that much but it looked quite effective baited a few times.
This was posted by nohoho in this thread Street Fighter IV Match Videos: Top Players (+ 2009 US & World Champ Vids) but I wanted to mention it here cos maybe not everyone saw it and it’s a pretty decent game. It’s the last match of the third video.

Just showing off some stuff I’ve noted, mostly the more recent LP SS link off Divekick on Sagat, and E.Honda being the only character susceptible to Messiah Kick FADC EX SS >> Ultra.
<3F1
good stuff there. but that dan combo, wouldnt work of fuerte, chun and claw as well? since they have pretty high jumps?
Mm, likely, I totally forgot about their wall jumps. I’ll try it eventually. Thanks for reminding me.
Also, it doesn’t work with C. Viper’s High Jump, it’s not high enough.

Dive kick hitting Akuma’s Ultra at start up is weeeeird in the 3rd round (1:30). I’ve never seen that happen before. It looks like the dive kick hits, I see the connection “explosion” animation, but it doesn’t look like Akuma takes any damage, and he’s able to Ultra…
edit oh wait, I guess that connect animation is Akuma throwing out a jab which resets Rufus out of dive. That looked really weird though…
The Ryu match shows a great little tactic, he focuses through one fireball then EX Messiah’s through the second. Very nice.
Vs. Akuma he makes sure he has just enough Ultra to finish him, then baits a fireball for regular Messiah FADC Ultra. Very smart.
Vs. Sagat, I didn’t know crossup MK was so effective.
Now I know what is missing from my vs. Shoto game. You absolutely need to know how to use these specific tactics to win these matchups vs. strong players. Great video to watch especially for those who have trouble with the 3 good shotos.
Kindevu match vs. Sagat… has anyone else tested the effectiveness of the crossup mk? Or is it just because of Sagat’s hitbox that makes it a little more useful in that situation.
^^^
just to reiterate: j.mk cross-up also effective against balrog, blanka (situational) and rufus
Good stuff. Beat a Sagat at a local tournament last night using unexperienced mk crossups heh :]
Gouken too
It’s not very good for throwing off uppercut tracking. Also, you don’t want to do it on reaction to a quickstand because you’ll probably get reversaled before making it over the top. I recommend just anticipating the quickstand and if he doesn’t, you can take a small step back (similar to punishing a Blanka Ball) and try a second jump. The most consistent time I’ve found is like in the video: forward throw, f. dash x2, crossup. LK followup to messiah kicks leave you at good range, but you have to deal with his wake up timing.
