Ibuki Player Guide Rev 3 up to date?

Piegie · August 21, 2014, 4:15pm

Can I still use this rev. for USF4 or is it not up to date anymore? In case it isn’t, what should I go ahead and read/watch?

I have no idea what you’re talking about

maybe the ibuki forum does

rev3 is from 2012, so not perfect for USF with mechanics/character changes.
Ibuki forums are the way to go.

rev4 was announced a long time ago, not sure if there will be an actual release.

Yes you can use the same guide and you should.

Izuna said these were the changes to consider when reading:

Ibuki Player Guide (book)

Ibuki Player Guide Rev.4 Notes…

Ruining Ibuki’s TC10 is the biggest nerf ever (doesn’t allow pressure on crouching opponents anymore)

far.st.HP kara cancel is sweet

DWU doesn’t really change her, just makes losers like Jazdero sent hate mail

Elena’s hitbox disregards all bug fixes Ibuki had

TC6/TC8 allowing you to go into hard knockdown with U1, Raida and cr.HP makes for a good overall damage/stun output boost, no more meter required to force opponents into the corner etc. (side note, the damage on using U1 as a knockdown is huge, more powerful compared to any other standard combo, almost as powerful as HK Kazegiri xx Super which is hard to land and unsafe)

Speaking of the change to TC8, it is now the most powerful way to go into Ibuki’s Super, and due to it being cancellable into Tsumuji for either blockstring or frame-trap, this is great

cr.LP makes certain links easier, no real change in functionality because cr.LK is mostly better due it its hitbox etc.

Faster walk speed is nice, but removal of TC10’s usefullness balances this buff out

Ultra Combo W, for the most part, is EXTREMELY useless – where U1 should only ever be picked if it has overall advantage over U2 – however W is great for vs. Abel

Akuma’s cr.HK xx Ultra nerf makes the match-up a lot easier, hahaha

Favourite new combo: TC6/TC8 into far.st.HP kara cancel Raida – looks awesome, or simply CD kara cancel Raida, even cooler

Ibuki was unaffected by the SRK FADC nerf

I don’t know why, but you can’t do cr.HP Red Focus to cause a crumple, she seems to require counterhit for any red focus setup – only one I could find is far.st.HP red focus, but…

Also the tsumuji loop list changed and m00ntiger updated it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CiT6Rz4rGlXVEKTDG4OclHzJgHjFql51GSGFjlCWjjg

I also highly recommend mingodynasty’s ibuki training regimen although it hasn’t been updated and some info is outdated (TC6/TC8/TC10 and vortex setups): Devote Yourself to Your Training! Ibuki Training Regimen (SCROLL DOWN A FEW POSTS)
