Got another video here, it’s pretty long.

I know my blockstrings are bad and I need to work on that but anything else would be helpful.
Needs more footsies and less jumping in just because you want to land a combo. Like at 0:14, 0:46, 0:47, 0:57, etc.
Best advice I can give you is to play offline or play someone who knows how to antiair; not this Cody guy who thinks he can antiair you with his face.
Except when fighting Honda and Gief. They love to anti-air people with their faces. (Headbutt and neutral fierce, respectively)
I wish I could antiair with my face. :c
My b+MP’s are usually GDLK if I focus on a match lmao.

Quite new to Street Fighter and have been playing for 2 months. I have a really hard time performing Ibuki’s BnB. I tend to go too fast when I’m on pressure, I even don’t finish my TC4and failed to cancel into a special because I pressed buttons and did not finish motions all at once without noticing. What can I do to practice slowing down and performing combos under pressure? I’m also trying to get used to my stick which I got a month ago, so there are some random specials I did and unwanted slides. I also tend to mash sweep because of the mentality of scoring a knockdown I have. Sometimes, when trying to cancel TC4 into tsumuji, I did cr. hk and s.hk instead because I go too fast and don’t finish the motions first =/. Do you guys think that I wasted a lot of EX meters on EX kunai?
Go into the training room and do all of the combos listed in the Ibuki combo thread until you can do all of them while looking at the ceiling or otherwise not paying attention to the game.
I’m not the only one who does this?
It’s a great feeling when you can, with your eyes closed and game audio off, perform 5 consecutive [ cr.LK, cr.LP, st.MK xx LK Tsumuji, st.LP, st.MK xx Neckbreaker ]
@M00nTiger: Despite the above being a more advanced combo, the way to practise it is the same as the simpler combos: you want quality over quantity. If I were your SF tutor, I would want to see you perform 5 consecutive TC4 xx Tsumuji with your eyes closed, and following that, j.HP, TC4 xx EX Tsumuji, Raida.
I want perfect inputs as well.
Wow, so many combos! I’ll try both of your combos with my eyes closed, JN. Other than execution practice, are there any fundamental issues I should work on?
Pushing the right buttons, instead of (what seems like) pushing random buttons. Why are you pressing cr.HK when you’re getting pressured? Why do you “pressure” your opponent with random cr.LPs, cr.MKs, and other low attacks when you’ve clearly hit him and had plenty of time to hitconfirm into a combo? etc.
To be honest I don’t know why I press cr. HK, it’s a bad habit I’m trying to get rid of. I still have bad reaction when hit confirming like I should connect cr.lps with s.mk but end up connecting with cr.mk because I don’t know when to release my joystick (blame my poor motor skills).
This thread is looking a little dead, and I’m sure no one cares… but, I am on my way to becoming Izuna’s student still! I won’t give up!
Waiting for your vids =)

Got a small video here.
A few things: I know I still jump a bit too much when I get antsy and my cr.MP OS has been terrible lately.
Still unsure about the Viper and Abel matchups in general so was hoping someone could tell me what I’m doing right/wrong. Also, go ahead and laugh at my failure to punish Viper’s whiffed ultra, I did. ^^
Edit: Forgot to mention, I jumped a lot vs this guy because he pretty much never anti-aired me. I also haven’t really worked on unblockables and using vortex much to try and learn about what else I can do to pressure people on their wakeup. Also didn’t realize until after that you can’t loop Viper. Oops.
-
Use cr.MK more. It’s one of Ibuki’s best buttons in this matchup. Also, please pay attention to CViper doing random burnkicks, especially when they’re obvious. Mash cr.MK to make it whiff and then follow up with the punish of your choice. Don’t try to FA out (you’re only gonna get hit with st/cr.HP) and be careful of trying to jump back (burn kick has a big hitbox).
-
LK Tsumuji loop does not work on CViper. Please study the Ibuki Charts.
-
Don’t unnecessarily waste meter. eg: using EX Tsumuji in a combo when simply ending with Neckbreaker would have ended the round.
-
When you use j.HP, press it earlier. It has long startup (perhaps you need to get familiar with it more? Hit dat training room).
-
Please stop doing cr.LP st.LP (DOES NOT WORK ON CVIPER!) and learn to do cr.LP cr.LP.
-
Practice your option selects. Options selects are key to keeping CViper honest on wakeup. I see you did none.
-
Bad use of EX dp. You mash (including cr.LP) half the time just because you get pressured, but you don’t mash in smart situations? ie: when Abel is trying to rush you down and pressure you with fake block strings, you crouch and take it like a man even though EX dp would have been a smart thing to do because he would have to take a risk to avoid it (he would have gotten chipped out if he blocked, and cannot backdash to avoid it).
-
If you’re going to double tap or blink for Tsumuji loops, you’d might as well do so for every situation that calls for a 1f link jab. That includes (SMART USE OF) cr.LP (NOT MASHING!), and cr.LK , cr.LP links. And with that 1f link execution, you somehow drop st.LP , st.MK 4f link? Wrong priorities or something?
Overall, you don’t seem to make many reads on your opponent and kind of just play autopilot/flowchart. You stick out buttons just because it’s a good range, you don’t try to set anything up, you don’t pay attention at all to what your opponent is doing, you don’t try to adapt, etc.
Just from the first round of that CViper match, it should have been obvious this guy is a noob on total autopilot. The first hint is that he typically does MP TK, or usually LP TK feints, a sure sign of a CViper player not confident in her execution.
The next hint is how they play their seismo game and what they follow up with. If you see stuff like hit/blocked seismo SJC burn kick (especially aimed at you and not just LK burn kick to stay safe; if he does LK burn kick, see above because that’s also usually a sign that a CViper player is unconfident in their SJC feint execution, unless they are trying to bait something out), that’s usually a sign of autopilot-ness because they don’t have time to react to the Seismo actually hitting, and blocking an air burn kick puts you a frame advantage (which btw you should pick ultra 1 in this matchup just to punish that kind of shit).
The last thing to look at is how she plays the midrange game. Is she making feint noises? Spamming seismos? Doing random burn kicks/thunder knuckles/jumps/combinatino of above? Especially when are you just sitting there doing nothing.
Here’s an Ibuki flowchart specifically designed to beat this kind of CViper autopilot:
- spam cr.MP xx Neckbreaker
- cr.MK on reaction to ANY jumps or jump-like movement at you (ie: burn kicks). If you’re in the middle of doing cr.MP, use EX dp. If CViper tries to get cute and mix in real jumpins with burn kicks, use EX dp.
- Here and there consider neutral jumping for the hell of it, including neutral super jump. If CViper does random burn kick or thunder knuckle, that’s a free combo for you! This tactic needs to be shaped a bit more complicated vs good CVipers who do meaty seismo on your landing, but this CViper is on autopilot anyways.
- Here and there also consider sliding (preferably at proper slide ranges, but if not it’s not a big deal). Even if CViper blocks it too close, she doesn’t have anything fast and far reaching enough to reliably punish it. Meanwhile, it’s an excellent poke that beats most of her normals and goes under all of her specials (besides seismo, but…). Plus it moves you around, making you a harder target for Seismos. Can’t go wrong!
- Once you get a knockdown, go to town with vortex and/or unblockalols.
5.1. After doing kunai or unblockalol starter, always start your combo/blockstring with st.MP and hitconfirm off that. st.MP will automatically beat burn kick for you and is a staple in Ibuki’s strings.
note: against insanely slow recovering ultras like CViper, just punish with a jump. No need to do st.HP xx EX Neckbreaker or whatever nonsense you were trying.
I’d rather go for jump - air throw, as a correctly spaced burn kick will make you EX DP whiff
The only two kinds of "correctly spaced burn kick"s you can possibly be referring to are super jump and burn kick at the top arc just to bait something or get to the other side of the screen, and meaty burn kick pressure. In the first case, she can’t punish you anyways; in the second case, I guess I should add the stipulation that you should block on wakeup (or also cr.MK), then mash EX dp all you want.
Hey I just played that Grade A Phantom guy on AE PC, 3x CViper and 1x Seth. Do you want me to upload the replays lolol.
Haha, go for it.
Ok here’s the video:

Warning: I was on complete autopilot and I didn’t even do half the things I told you to do.
Judging by the results, you didn’t even have to.
