[media=youtube]Fr2bp4WbDsM"[/media], what was he doing at 2:20 EX Focus Cancelling the EX Tornado (other than wasting meter obv)… and he does j.HK (2 hits) > j.HK (1 hit) on Blanka then LP (MP?) Snake Strike whiffs.
Also: looool at 4:28 when he anti-airs KOK Sagat with a far st.HK! He drops that a couple of times in the first round; quite odd.
I like how in the match against Balrog he does anticipatory/psychic tornadoes but holds back on the stick when Balrog doesn’t dash punch. Seems risky to me though.
Thanks for the tips guys! I’m already working on changing up my style and making my dive kicks more solid. I’ll release another batch of videos in a week or so and hopefully my gameplay will have progressed.
[media=youtube]J8XSMi3tSog"[/media] Kindevu (RU) vs. Sagat. Interesting: someone on here said that you should only just j.MK as a cross-up on Sagat, here Kindevu does it at the start of the round psychically (to ‘punish’ a whiffed TK) and scores some nice damage by comboing HP xx HP tornado. LP Snake Strike > st.LP xx EX Tornado combo at 2:18 is too dope.
The end of the Bison match is a bit tense.
edit: that dude’s channel is a goldmine
edit: hm, looks like they’re old vids even tho they were uploaded recently; oh well, there’s at least a few kindevu ones I hadn’t seen and 3110 plays a very goofy Rufus, not as tight as Kindevu
HOLY SHIT. That was an amazingly entertaining match between Rufus and Dictator! That last round had me understanding what the announcer was saying and I don’t speak Japanese! (just because he was going nuts and I was also) Awesome find. Everyone needs to watch the Dictator match!
I’m pretty sure someone posted this video already (it’s in my youtube playlist for rufus) but I found it interesting how the Rufus (v Zangief) would use a somewhat neutral (not jumping forward) dive kick when Zangief got within a character/half-character distance. That’s the distance I’ve been struggling with in my Gief match-up and I think it might be good for other people having trouble with Gief to consider.

Great find (I’ve been looking for more JWong Rufus vids). But Wong seemed a bit of a d-bag after his wins (walking off, playing to the crowd). Either way, good vid.
Arhh ok then nice, I always thought since I couldn’t do the “st.mp to Galactic tornado” to Ryu it wouldn’t work on anyone else so in general I always linked st.lk to st.hp, i’ll test this out on other characters later on.
rufus is the only char you want to dive kick a little higher on because the other rufus will try to dive kick from his ‘natural’ height so if you meet in the air you’ll be above him and snuff his and you can then go into your own dive kick ground pressure game: Y/N??
omni, I’ve watched some of your videos but here’s some basic comments on the blanka one from [media=youtube]x-2KSgOoQGI"[/media]. not trying to be critical here at all (you got close, which is more than I do against most blankas), these are just things to think about next time:
00:27: you can punish blocked balls by slight-walk forward cr.HP, hard but useful
00:32: you had meter to cancel the cr.LP into an EX tornado
00:43: punish blocked rainbow ball w/ultra here, not throw
00:49: cd probably have connected cr.MK xx EX Tornado after the back j.HP here
1:41: punish a block slide (esp. one tht close) with cr.LP/MK xx EX Tornado
1:51: block blanka ultra, while in block stun mash j.HK and then make him eat your ultra next
1:57: I think you cd’ve tacked on an ultra after the EX Snake Strike here, but be careful he doesn’t land behind you
2:33: punish blocked rainbow roll with ultra, not throw
3:44: punish slide with cr.LP/MK xx EX Tornado
3:52: I’d’ve been inclined to walk just into the range of his super here and block, then you get a free j.HK > Ultra afterwards (I think), risky but worth it cos he threw it out so recklessly and from far away
4:18: free ultra and its ggpo again
5:10: shd’ve ultra’d on crumple, again it’d’ve been ggpo
5:22: you have three bars and an ultra and the life lead, the game is yours now no need to random ex messiah, just turtle him out and punish
sorry if tht’s negative, just want to bring to light the basic things you can do to punish the little green punk
Marn (Rufus) vs (Bison) Jago
[media=youtube]4mvG1i10nvc&fmt=18[/media]
Overall the match was pretty good Marn has improved since I last saw him play, his pressure game was on point .
At least I know now never to EX Massiah kick through Bison’s Ultra. Marn need to start watching his opponents ex stocks, J.HK to a crouching Bison with two ex stock in mid screen is pretty much asking to get stomped lol.
Even though he lost it’s good to reflect on his mistakes, so you know what to do in that type of situation.
Bison’s St.HK is really good as well he really kept Rufus in the corner, I think the only way around it is to baskdash when you know its coming then jump in for the dive kick. Its really unexpected if with you wiff a move so close up to your opponent.
