just new, but this has kindevu fighting a fuerte and beasting a balrog/boxer, all about the cross-up dive kicks. looks like he does an air focus at the beginning of the second round but he ws def on the ground for a split second. OCV too
edit: oh shi-! check out 5:22, also looks like an air focus but it’s hard to tell, either way tht is a godlike way to get in on ryus who like to zone you into a sweep on the other side of their fireball
he just sits right on top of the chun on wake-up loool
It’s good to see Kindevu back to playing Rufus, for real. I thought he had switched to Viper, and that the other videos of him linked in the thread were dated; I’m glad to be wrong.
I don’t think that was an air FA. Also, I’m pretty sure you’d get hit if you FA’ed a FB from Ryu then he swept you because sweep also knocks you out of FA I believe (HK sweep at least). I have that crap happen to me all the time with Guiles :-/
Um, it’d knock you out because you can only FA one hit. At 5:22 he just divekicks and then FAs as soon as he lands. It’s just a counterhit level one FA. For guile, his c.hk could hit you out because its two hits. If you somehow focus absorb a fireball from ryu and he gets a c.hk afterwards while you’re still charging it (for some reason) then that could hit you out (the only way I see this happening is if he FADCd a fireball).
But yeah… Kindevu is super solid, never misses his links!
I’m by no means a Rufus pro but there are two quick things I noticed:
There was at least two instances where I would have used EX Messiah after a block string or to end a match and I don’t think you realized you had an EX bar because you filled it up RIGHT before you started the attack. I think if you would have realized you had that bar you could have used EX Messiah instead of whatever you used (I don’t remember anymore lol)
This might be my fault but I’m not sure what the purpose is for using s. MK (I believe that’s the 2 hit kick if I’m correct)? I feel like it’s a fairly useless move because you have the target combo that launches instead. However, I just might not know the significance of the s. MK.
But you definitely did a good job with the pressure and I like the HP Tornado (at least that’s what it looked like) idea to get across screen which nullified his Torpedo attacks, good stuff, I’m going to steal that one
Firstly you should of used alot more tic throw in you games.
You need to start crossing-up with your dive kick
Way too much Jumping Fierce Kick, thats why he kept to the ground most of the time keeping you in with close shorts in to crossups an throws.
More close shorts, an you would of most probably got a EX tornado.
Your abit too aggressive lol no more random EX Messiah from a far distance.
I duno an maybe sometimes you should save your ultra till it really counts, that’s why I said you done too many Jumping fierce kick. You could of saved it with alot more EX snake strike. (Insane damage)
Match 1 was your best match.
Match 3 was just wow.
Overall you both played really well at least you punished him for most of the devils reverse.
wow, your ex messiah kick beat his ultra. it seems so 50/50 when you see yellow rufus on that ultra flash.
i’m going to finish watching the rest. but fun facts against bison from my matches against my jersey friend today
-divekick beats psycho crusher when you aim for his head
-focus beats scissor kick from ~full distance(lets you be slightly more liberal w/ random fa’s)
from watching your match
-c.fierce punishes a psychocrusher that lands far away(ty kindenvu^^)
-bleh you solved the question, “does rufus’s rk messiah kick extension avoid bison’s super after he blocks the initial part of messiah kick?” -NO ;;
There was a shit load of tick throwing, you just don’t see it because this was like match #16 of 20. I get them accustomed to tick throws that way I can do things like you see at the end of video one, divekick then he goes throw, quick divekick into target combo into ultra.
About crossups. Do you mean on wakeup? Cause he will teleport out of that shit everytime. I think that was an issue for him early on in the set, I got him hard with alot of that and then he realized he can just teleport out of trouble in those situations.
As for the EX Messiah, yeah I was getting real lazy and j.HK, I get lazy and random with it in long sets with the same opponent with me.
Dude his Bison I swear to god just went NUTS in that third video. That was our last match IIRC. Haha, that got my adrenaline all fired up but dude got tired and we called it a set. Anyways I could go all day I really love this matchup.
His Bison was really good you must of done like 3/4 throughout all video, maybe its just me I like to add in a decent amount so when I go to use simple BnB combos people get caught up in it during the Galactic Tornado.
Nar I didnt mean crossups on wakeup just in general when you was close to him an he was blocking your divekicks.
