Looking for Love: Ibuki General Discussion Thread

So according to the BradyGames USF4 frame data app, Ibuki’s far st.LP is only 1 frame startup, which HAS to be a typo.

Call it placebo, but I feel that I’ve been having a much easier time chaining, linking and in general counter hitting that normal as a footsie.

With Delayed Wakeup just use jump ins, look for the technical on their side of the screen. If there’s no technical then kunai. Her neutral game is a lot stronger and I still think she’s viable, but against the divekick characters she has to work. I dunno, I need to lab those matchups a ton.

I was playing some offline casuals against a friend of mine who plays gen and I had EX tsumuji whiff on hit a couple times (crouching in the corner) . I thought they fixed it as well. At least they fixed regular tsumuji whiffing on hit…as far as i know.

kara cancel Tsumuji is extremely powerful, I completely forgive TC10’s removal

My theory unblockable for DWU works! Thanks to @NYCgeek‌ for testing this out for me! It looks reactable to counter DWU. Do jab if you see technical. This setup could be unblockables that cover both normal and delayed wakeup timing.


How to do it: Neckbreaker, walk forward 6f, f.lk, wait 1f, st.lp, j.lk/j.mk

Dat frame kill. Unf.

Looks great, using st.lp as a way to adjust timing for Technical is a little risky due to delayed SRK, but it is great. =)

I’ve been trying to see what I can do for max stun off of BH RFC and this is what I got (Right now only tested on Ryu). I’m not sure how useful this is because it is kinda difficult and character specific but at least it looks cool! The ender can be changed for different positioning/setups and an extra bar of meter can be used for a little bit more stun and damage but I personally think it would be better just to save the bar.

BP, RFC, Cr.HP xx sjc.MPkunai, Cl.St.HK xx sjc.LK Command Dash, cr.HP: 362 dmg| 660 stun (365 dmg | 660 stun with Raida ender) (374 dmg | 675 stun with EX Raida ender)

I’m also going to try and find max damage (with and without ultra) sometime in the near future but this is what I have so far without ultra and without using the last bar.

(tested on Ryu)
BP, RFC, Cr.HP xx sjc.MPkunai, st.MP, st.MK xx LK Tsumuji st.LP, St.MK xx Neckbreaker: 379 dmg | 647 stun

I don’t really think far.st.HP RFC will be worthwhile especially since in order for it to hit you could also get a knockdown with MK Tsumuji.

You can use it to punish certain DPs, check out my chart. But it’s more rewarding for those that can’t do tsumuji loops consistently. A decent whiff punish options for moves with big recovery. If I can confirm it to RFC, I don’t see why not especially if I have the life lead or it’s going to kill. More damage and stun, especially the stun.

I agree, for using no meter getting the knockdown with mk Tsumuji is what you would want to go for. But as far as punishes go, i think RFC could be a good option to end the match if you have the meter. Definitely situational though.

Here are some Ranked Matches I played – Yun was pretty powerful, and I ran into a Guile I don’t think I have ever won a set against

I’ve been messing around with that whiff x2 st.HP and it’s so ridiculous. It catches people off guard and if for some reason if they try to focus, it’ll hit them from half screen. Just imagine the new combo’s into it, I seriously think it’s worth the investment. It makes her poking game pretty scary at that distance. I’ll go and mess around with it some more.

Can you stream on twitch? It’s very fun watching you play

Can the BP kara tech be used similarly to Sagat’s f.lk kara Tiger Uppercut?

I can’t play on twitch until I moved house next month. That video took 12 hours to upload haha.

As for far.st.HP… I honestly think that besides jumping back with kunai and tsumuji, it isn’t worth using. A Kara kazegiri doesn’t give you any new functionality, and even it if did you would need to focus cancel everytime and possibly concert into little damage.

I meant as anti air.

It may be too slow, it’s around 10 or more frames to startup of a special when using bp kara cancel.

Oh I see. Was hoping it would be like Sagat’s f.hk lol.

You can also do it on ex neckbreaker. I whiffed crouch jab after instead of st jab though. Haven’t tried it in a real match because I’m mostly studying for finals but it seems like it might be easier to react since you have to dash and wait for the original set up anyways.
