Curious to see how the Ibuki vs Kolin battle with go.
Ye kolins vskill looks cray
I heard her buttons suck defensively and counters are not very reliable, so i bet ibuki beats herâŚ
Every counter iâm sure will have its uses but her best one so far seems like her anti air one since it does a ton of damage especially since you can just react with it. I doubt many Kolins will be throwing out random counters, her buttons outside of sweep looked fine too. Also if the first hit of sweep can be canceled on block then sheâll be even better off.
Her buttons range wise are actually pretty solid. Better than people want to admit. They seem to have about the range of Lauraâs or a bit better. s.MP looks solid for whiff punishing and her c.LK looks about as long as Rashidâs.
There will be some downplaying of Kolin early on, but she has too many tools to not be a strong character. Tools that are unique to this game even. If she has a read on what youâre doing youâre most likely going to pay really big. Sheâs like playing Aoi or Asuka in a 2d fighter. Mainly emphasis on weaving in and out and countering the opponent and starting offense on that. Sheâs all about making you afraid to hit a button because she can evade or counter it and then turn the momentum on you.
I really like this grown up Ibuki
Why isnt there any good american Ibuki lol Shine is not using ANY of the tech in his fights.
chrisg is solid
Chrisg Ibuki is his 3th choice of character; and then he loses and blames ibuki, not even worth mentioning imo
Guile has always been ChrisGâs main character. Itâll be interesting when the arcade version comes out though because Japan will most likely put in work with some of the more unrepresented characters and some of the more mixup/setup oriented ones too.
Will Guile and Ibuki even be in the arcade mode? That will probably only include the 16 core characters
I donât see why they wouldnât be.
Hey, so can literally anyone watch my last casual match, ibuki vs nash? I just broke my 5th controller of this year in unfettered rage but I still donât know how to beat it. Like I am so desperate I am prepared to do an irl favor for you. Whether it be money, drugs, assassination, what have youâŚ
ID is ensane or ensanesane, donât remember which.
Did the v skill give free juggle on hit before? you can do stuff like v skill (charged or not) st.MP overhead in the corner,or cr.HP mk dash,etc.In fact, if you do a perfect meaty charged v skill (raida, dash,st.MK,st.LP,charged v skill works as a setup) you can get lk dp or st.LP.Pretty cool
cool cc sweep 4 way mixup:
cc sweep,bomb (donât cancel sweep into bomb), lk command dash,st.hp
from there you can do:
an instant overhead j.lk (beats 3 frame standing jabs,whiffs if the opponent does a crouching jab on wakeup,I think they eat the bomb if they do this tho,also beats most shoryus)
a mk command dash that makes 3 frame jabs whiff
a cr.mk (beats 3 frame jabs)
or a lk command dash that trades with jabs (only tested this on lauraâs st.lp, but if she hits you with it she eats the bomb and you can do a combo normally)
So after 4 year break im thinking of playing SFV.
Are there many Ibuki players out there seems kinda empty 
After first day of playing:
I use slide to much,old habit
I love the cr mk poke for stuffing things
Not sure to do if i get a cr jab ill have to look up the combos
Really fun to play but im really rusty âŚ
There are still a decent amount of Ibuki players on here, but discord has more active Ibuki players. Most people are trying out Kolin right now though.
Granted I wonât pretend to have a perfect grasp on the Match-Up, but I have fought against a fair amount of Kolinâs. The Match-up, at the moment, feels like a contest on who can gain the momentum first, cause whoever does will just run with it. Kolin has better damage and better range, but Ibuki has better speed and better mix-ups. I feel like the match-up is ether even or in Ibukiâs favor.
