Looking for Love: Ibuki General Discussion Thread

yea lets all remember why we stumbled upon this website in the first place… to up our game…
just to try and get the ball rollin:
i got a couple safejump setups with the new neckbreaker spacing it seems to work better than i could ever get it to work before…
im still testing it but it involves holding back after the neckbreaker and as soon as ibuki takes a tiny step back i superjump and light kick… it works for most ppls dps… some of the bigger characters are beating it but i think whiff NB, whiff c.mk, superjump lk will beat those ones…

ClakeyD must have like no execution. Always goes for basic TC4 neckbreaker. Never any st.LP link or tsumuji loops like Sako. And then a random jump cancel out of nowhere? lol. All he seems to be good at is option selecting.

For the extra ~50 damage you get, it’s not a good idea to do. Not having Sako’s execution is hardly having no execution. Besides, it’s a tournament.

I’ve just never understood why some of you guys cared so much about Tsumuji Loops.

Dunno why he kept skipping the vortex vs Daigo. Was he afraid of up kicks that much?

Possibly, he wasn’t doing many OS’ to beat it so many he’d rather not throw a Kunai to have Yun take up some space. Whenever he DID try to Vortex, he didn’t time it right and go beat clean too. Ultimately I think that’s what cost him.

yea it looked like he kept messing up his safejumps or something… he threw a shit load of ex spin kicks… there was an arrogant guy in the audience yelling obnoxiously calling him clakey free and stuff like that, maybe the dude got in his head… either way the mirror match with sako was epic, and taking a game from daigo was also cool… ibuki is fun in ae

what option selects were used? i think sako had a neckbreaker, j.hp OS into ultra 1… and clakey with like some OS to beat yangs backdash…
anyone know specifically?

I saw a lot of cr.LP , cr.LP xx cr.HK by ClakeyD.

And some j.HP option select throw against CViper to beat EX seismo.

That jhp os into u1 after nb is to catch abel’s ex roll,since with ex roll he can escape from the vortex.I don’t remember what normal you should whiff,but sako crouches for like 1 or 2 frames after neckbreaker and does jhp os into u1.

Sup guys, next week I’m switching mains so I’ll start being a Freebuki

Freebukis ftw ;D

n

no more sak?

you’re going to like ibuki, i think its a good switch.

-dime

What about sakura?Your sak is gdlk and now in ae she’s even better.
But i think you’ll like ibuki and probably become gdlk with her too.

Ibuki not in SFxT. Thank fucking god.

nvm goddamnit.

Cammy TKCS is gonna rape in that game anyways amirite?

I saw her TKCS get beat out by Crouching Jab and then juggled like 4 times, I actually approve the shit out of that even though I hate the juggle system lol.

new ibuki is growing on me, just ran a crack session at my friends house and after getting dismantled badly to the tune of like 20 games and cussing the stupid game/screen/AE/nerfs i went to training mode and worked on my timings… man that cr.lp, st.mk link really helps now… never miss it so matchups like vega that i struggled with when he was crouching become SO MUCH better. new tc is awesome easily hitconfirmed from tc to st.lp, and gives a new look and something else for the opponent to look for… my offense was just getting super ridiculous and i had salty faces staring at me ( man i love salty faces)

the stun and damage nerf hurts though, but i can deal with it cause of increased chance of pressure/ longer time on offense in general… my friend compared my ibuki to mvc3 magneto… LOL. (ahem)

anywho, self congratulating aside, her offense seems even more ridiculous now. hk mixups were actually working cause i had my opponents so scared of pressing buttons. against the same people in super, that shit just didnt fly at all… whereas now it seems free. nerfed agemen hurts my soul though.

oh yeah… the twins are broken, seriously. picked up yang for the first time yesterday and was doing ridiculously well with dumb shit like lk divekick x 10 against sim, man yang is fun in an evil taking candy away from babies kind of way…trollin hard yo.

-dime

and uh, winning.

Just making sure you guys don’t miss it!

I know I’m late to the party but the U1 nerf (input wise) is really annoying. I can’t really mash it out anymore, and it’s suddenly difficult to use it to punish things like Honda butt slam and Dudley MGB.

Looks like I’ll be switching to U2 for most of my matchups now.
