in japan, current vega is regarded as mid tier by many people…so yeah…don’t know what to say about that…
I sent him a message on Facebook and he said that his ex scarlet terror carries him too far forward and he would prefer to use lk scarlet terror against Gief. I’m excited about the cr.mp x rolling crystal flash x super being combo-able and the faster start up on Ultra 2. I guess time will only tell since they reiterated that all changes aren’t final and subject to change.
Nice find, I will test the changes now
OK, explain why he says “it takes seven frames till ex.st becomes active”. It has 4 frames start-up, do I know wrong?
4 is right, I guess he did make a mistake in Ono Edit, right now there is no difference in his build regarding stuffing meaties. (Btw: Isn’t that supposed the purpose of that EX ST buff? Not to get him an Anti Air?)
Anyway did some testing with his mod and it is fun: Jump in clHP xx hRCF xx Super does 555 damage with mask, mRCF 539. Without mask we are at over 600 damage. Not bad at all.
Also cancelling of off any normal is fairly easy, crLP, crLP xx Super works fine, like Guiles Super out of crLK
With the current and soon to be gone 5 frame Ultra standing CH to U2 becomes almost usable in a real match. Jump in U2 is ridiculously easy, so much leniency. (non counter hit) crLp or crMK in the other hand is not as easy as I thought.
not sure how he configured the invincibility frames, but i’m getting counterhitted out of the ex st sometimes. that super is sexy, but the damage is so bloody much with the izuna drop ender!! it’s most likely we won’t get the izuna ender though, so i was testing the 4 hit super, and the last hit takes too long to come out to hit them, i really hope this is addressed if they don’t allow us to use the izuna ender
What’s the point of being able to hit them while going to the wall but not being able to izuna afterwards? Of course they will let us izuna.
He said he did mistakenly made it 7 fr. start-up. Read his reply to me in the youtube comments.
the point is that knee to izuna is way too strong, 450 damage for a super? really? 330 is more like it. he changed the the izuna drop to be an unblockable hit. he also said he didn’t make it to 7 frames start up, the editor said it’s 7 frames start up, but been sped up to 1.5 to make it into a 4 frame start up, a cheap way to not needing to remove animation frames. since he inputted 4 frame invincibility, it means the start up invinicbility is more like 2-3 frames
Good play marcus. I like when random players get destroyed. Spam focus attack like crazy with oni, ex.tiger knee after every reset and desperation uppercuts with sagat.
In AE Teams Grand Finals. Lamerboi (Guile), Boba Tapioca (Fei) and myself (Claw) vs. Filipino Champ (Sim), Chris G (Sakura) and Alioune (Cammy).

if only you went first, lamerboi 2nd, and boba 3rd. fei has more chance against the cammy! unless it was blind picks…
So entertaining to watch, as always one thing (do you even take critique any more?) Your post izuna set-ups were quite… predictable.
Great games, esp. against Chris g!
Yes it was blind pick the first set. I also felt more comfortable being the anchor actually.
Yeah after watching it multiple times they were really predictable. I was nervous though and it was only one game so I committed to whatever I chose to do after the Izuna drops immediately. I usually mix it up with safe jump setups and some other yomi, but I had to make fast decisions. And yes I still take criticism so fire away
Merry Christmas, everyone! Here’s a grand finals (Part1) vid of me against Rom (Yang). Second part will be up later. Hope you all have an awesome Christmas or whatever you celebrate today

[/quote]Very nice execution and performance in general against top notch opponents
Chris-g was jumping a lot and you didn’t challenge him a lot in the air. Maybe you are afraid of air tatsu but nj.hk is very likely to trade and its a gamble for him obviously since you may stay on the ground and punish its recovery.
Against cammy try to play more defensively and hold down back more. ST trades in your favour with dive kicks and also beats clean frustration ways to get in (spin knuckle, hooligan). Needless to say that vs alioune things would be very difficult for any vega in the world though.
My late christmas gift for everyone here:

One hour of footage of makoto0124 at his last tournament. I found those matches at niconico a long time ago. Enjoy.
Lol I remember, during that time I thoght this might be a comeback… well it wasn’t
But as long as he keeps showing up on his twitch channel and plays endless in the middle of the (japanese) night I am more than happy…
