Looking for Love: Ibuki General Discussion Thread

i dont get why would they make inputs so retarded. i dont get why not ALL ultras in this game are QCF/QCB x2

I really think they had just messed up somewhere, it’s like playing Street Fighter 1. I can meterless FADC more than do the HCBx2.

When it returns back to normal, I’ll make a page in my guide about tried and tested traps.

New Ibuki Player here. Never gave her a second glance, I was ignorant to her, I tried to her and then realized this is the character I’ve always wanted.

I’m decent at street fighter, But I’m used to Fei Long and Hax normals, And Ibuki’s normals are not really all that good, So I’m finding the transition really difficult. I finished her trials apart from the SJC into U2 (24) and even with that, applying it in a real game is hard, Man.

Anyone recommend where I start off?

Hi TrueFist!

The best way to start off is learn all of Ibuki’s general options which is required for the Ibuki vs. Ryu match-up. There is the guide that I wrote, and it’s helped a couple of people so far: Ibuki Player Guide (book)

For all else, ask specific questions in this forum and we’ll help you out.

The thing with Ibuki’s normals is that they’re all situational, and Ibuki kind of (not really) makes up for it with other mobility tools (gimmicks) such as super jump, command dash, slide, and a fast/far forward dash.

You’re probably finding the transition difficult because Ibuki doesn’t really have safe spammable normals. With Ibuki, it’s crucial that you instead react to what your opponent does and make/take calculated risks, as well as make good reads.

ya, basicly every time u press button when u arent so sure in what you are doing, you’ll eat a counter-hit.

I actually just sat down in training mode and did nothing but quick Ultra 1 inputs for like half an hour a couple days ago. It helps, lol.

Just played an ‘infamous’ Ibuki player today. Very relevant because the 1/4 I lost was because of getting EX Raida instead of Yoroitoshi.

Seriously, why do I make guides if A-Ranked Ibuki players do only:

  • Focus Dash Up Throw
  • Jumping Short
  • Random Neckbeaker (dunno why they still do this to punish backdashes… FULL SCREEN!)
  • Mash EX Kazegiri with ZERO set-up

haha, I want to upload the matches but it’d be rude to. It’s got Kazegiri into Super so MAYBE it’s fine?

Another still removes me, even from Endless, I don’t understand. SUPER Ibuki was much worse, why all the hate in AE all of a sudden?

LOL at having 10000 more BP and less PP.


So, more Ver. 12 changes in the future dev blogs, meaning more Ibuki changes.

-mash EX kazegiri everytime you see blocked tsumuji; assume your opponent will always go for the 3rd hit low ender, and always mash it even you don’t have meter: regular kazegiri is a great reversal, right?
-mash backdash on wakeup; what’s a safe jump anyways?
-followup every successful backdash with (pointless) FA into forward dash throw
-if you’re blocking, you’re doing it wrong; you need to be constantly pushing buttons, especially 4f cr.LP in the middle of your opponent’s blockstrings

I am unnecessarily excited about getting to use the Bonsho Kick.

OMG You wouldn’t believe how many people still do this. You know what I hate? I get compared to his crappy Ibuki sometimes. “He might even be better than xWAx Izuna!” That video had to be uploaded.

Admittedly, whenever I saw EX Kazegiri, I mashed HARD on that jump back fierce.


FOUND IT! The [S]bitch[/S] that falls faster is Juri. LP Kazegiri -> HP Super on her and Chun-Li.

Ultra David crying about Ibuki is pretty funny to be quite honest.

-Simplified yoroitoshi inputs.yes
-No change on her walk speed because ibuki’s footsie game is unparalleled.yes
As for the bonsho kick as mentioned on above post,it’s going to be hard to eat crouch techs.Probably if they changed its startup, but with 13 frame start up it’s useless imo.The best use i can think of is as a mid-long range poke with the hope to fish a counterhit and continue a combo.

Where?

I’ve lost about 500PP today from shitty scrubs online. Ken trolls, runaway Cody’s, turtle Honda’s. It’s impossible to actually gain more than like 5PP a match because no one in this country is bloody over 1000PP. I haven’t played someone with over 3000PP in a LONG time on Ranked. UK has the worst players on Ranked. Is US any different?

Picking up Yang as a secondary.

ergh, play with people from other regions? why stick to the UK

UK Ranked was poo in Super. It’s even worse on PC.

It was on Wednesday night fights around the top 3 for Marvel. Like, James Chen starts saying Yun is worst than Phoenix, and then David brings up Ibuki. Lmao.

He was complaining mainly about how she’s mostly gimmicks on her knockdown. Like, she’s been out for like 2 years now, if you still get hit by day 1 vortex then that’s on you. Its especially funny when the people that complain about her are Zangief/grappler players.

im laughing inside at all the ibukis that have trouble with non shortcut u1… cmon guys. this isnt st sim super hard its still ridiculously sf4 easy…

also, yeah, stop hating on ibuki, geez… you know what your getting when you pick her, up that vortex and learn some damn footsies.
she aint THAT bad. ive been winning with her alot ever since i left cali, like seriously if you dont live there or NY your ibuki should be good to go.

LOL
