Haitani vs Ryan Hart ft3 played at TGS 2013
Very reckless play from Haitani, and weirdly using Ultra1 against Sagat. ( He used Ultra2 against Tigershaan at EVO )
But understandable, Ryan is a more close up agressive sagat I think.
Great set. Wish it was ft5 or ft10 since Ryan plays Sagat at a level very few others can. Btw, are they on PS3? There were a couple of instances of what looks like timing errors.
I have no idea but they might be. Xbox 360 aren’t that common in Japan as far as I know.
Is dashing into trades a legit way to play against Sagat ?
Anyway, this U1 was never used (or maybe once as a reversal) and Ryan used his TS game to its fullest.
Strange set.
Ryan Hart make experience in this matchup with V-Ryu,so he knows what happen if Makoto get close to Gat. Haitani tries to play different using setups he never used before (kara-tsurugi,st.lk for standing throws whiff) and those things seems make his play “uncomfortable”. He miss easy stuff,Ryan is good,but he don’t win,Haitani lose. Look at this set against RF’s Sagat a year ago during Topanga League,you will see the difference:

I think Haitani tried to play like V-Ryu after seeing his matches against Ryan Hart’s Sagat at Bushido Impact in France time ago:
Ooohh…
Haitani had Ryan Hart in his bracket today for capcomcup qualifiers.
Might explain his play in the exhibition set perhaps. ( He just won btw )
If someone finds the Haitani Ryan Hart fight (not the ft3), that would be interesting.
I don’t think that one was streamed.
At the start of the Blanka match, is that a legit punish to the Blanka ball? I haven’t been able to pull that off before, so I’m curious if it’s just difficult or something.
Thanks for posting up the matches. Digging through the archive isn’t fun.
Yes it’s legit but nearly just frame. dash(16) + cmp(7 startup) = 23 frames. rolling are -24 in guard. I think he should have used a mp hayate though.
Haitani is a big fan of his stMP / crMP > lvl 2 Light hayate trick.
But with crMP max range it whiff pretty often.
im not entirely sure if anyone else can even play makoto on that level, guess 15 years of professional fighting game experience can put you on that level.
Haitani always invigorates and inspires me to keep playing her.
I gotta say, that performance really turned me on. God, I love this character.
Tokido blog posted a small highlight of Haitani’s performance at EVO and at the Capcomcup qualifier.
The extract are well choose, it’s entertaining to watch for a moral boost about the character I guess. :d
Holy shit 9:02 (last video). You don’t see Fuki connect like that very often.
Great stuff. Even though I’m American, I was rooting so hard for TLC Master (cuz Makoto>country). Regardless of the result, he played an incredible tournament.
Holy shit, he missed the victory because of a reverse EX Tsurugi input after a double Fuki.
I would be so mad. That Master guy is so legit, he deserved that.
