1st round of Taito JP Nationals (this tournament was actually double elimination)
just watched that yesterday. I liked shiro’s use of U2 though, smart stuff from him in it’s implementation, and good stuff from misse in those matches.
The Hugo matchup looks so tense at that level.
Finding the good Hugo players to play it tho…
hey @Vryu please check your PM 
Fuckin’ Fuerte man. Have we figured a decent punish for blocked EX chest bump yet? That shit is ludicrous. Haven’t played in about a month and the first person i run into online is some RSF-ing fucktard. Grrrrr.
EX Fuki punish it, no need to kara it even.
4m47s for Makoto. Our answers are :
- Reversal mp hayate ( optionnal redfocus)
- Ex Fukiage
Oh wow, I can just EX Fuki it for free? The answer has been that simple all along?
Well then. My opinion on this match just shifted.
Yamase works too if you dont have EX
i abuse this move all the time and i just looked it up and realize the startup is only 7 frames? my prayers are answered!
feels much slower than that
Because it’s 13 frames
The start up you see in the wiki is the one between forward HP and the start of Yamase, which is the name of the target combo.
You need to look up the start up of fHP to see how fast it can come out.
Kamenosuke in this a bunch…
I really like Kamenosuke’s style.
He’s having some issues here and there, and I feel like he should use some HK instant axekick ( he did a lot of instant MK axekick that whiff where HK wouldn’t ), and maybe too many yolo ex karakusa, but I like how he uses his normals and hayate cancels.
It seems like more and more players know what they want to do in their head but are very hesitant when actually playing, gave that ibuki player opportunities to get back in because of fear of ex dp. It’s now worth it to play more risky as risk is more in her favor now!
I’m doing a ton of red focus these days. Something about it really gets in people’s heads.
Little FT5 against a decent Bison player.
If anyone has any insight, I’d appreciate it. If you like anything I do, feel free to say it too I guess :d
One big problem I feel is that I never anti air the neutral jump HK in the corner, and not punishing very far Sicssor kick with focus enough.
Yep, try to anti air those neutral jump more. I personally use more fMP instead of stHK after scissor before its less (or not) whiff punishable. And oh yeah, try to not always do something after blocked scissor so bison doesnt know if he must push button or not.
And as you said, use more focus vs his 1hit scissor from far away.
The last thing is positionning. Try to always put him in corner (for example, after a knockdown, try to go to the other side, even if you dont have setup after it).
Your gameplan vs him is good. Your not mashing dash into his stMK or random pokes, which is good.
You can use more neutral tsurugi/HK/nothing is good too, because he doesnt know what to do, so you can instantly dash to make surprise.
Around 1:17:18, there are some fights between Hugo and Makoto. This is considered as a bad matchup for Makoto if i remember well. The Makoto player does pretty well. He does a lot of sexy shp hc, smp, smp, fuki ex.
Need some criticism for the Rose Matchup. Check out the first 3 or 4 videos in this playlist and let me know what i’m doing wrong. I’m winning on the whole, but I think that’s more down to luck than skill. Also, online. Bleurgh.
Also the playlist arranger sucks. Maybe just search for Rose to track the matches down.
