How is Wasa hitting Zangief in the back with the j.hp on wake up? Is it only done on Zangief ([media=youtube]OO6KQwT5DAo[/media]), cause im trying to pull it off in training vs Ryu and its not working. If we had the ability to jumo deep and hit everyone from behind like Ryu and ken do, we would be set!

its a safe jump.

and the one he used to cross up was just itabashi being caught offguard.you can actually see him crouching a frame before he was hit.

yeah. I was hesitant on my attacks too. Coupled with the little spikes fraps give every now and then. I’ve missed alot of opportunities to deal damage, have to train more to get them down.

As for the akumas, I’ve found out that as long as the akuma player is hesitant in pressuring me, I stand a very good chance to control and win the match.

Part 1-5 of the Vega vs Blanka festival! :'DDDD





Part1 seems to be a blank video, and part 2 every claw has lost so far. Why would you post this demoralizing stuff? :frowning: 5 mins left to go in part 2. There is redemption, right?

As for part one being blank, I think that’s a problem with Nicovideo, it gives me an error message.

EDIT: As for those videos, I mean just look at where they get messed up. Especially in the corner against ultra. I came in with the third video, and the guy was so afraid against the ultra in the corner that he didn’t just wall jump it AND messed up his wiff for the loss. What it is, is good to watch. Also the completely refusal of using ultra baffles me. There’s a point where he dashes under Blank’s Ultra and probably could have ended it with a counter ultra.

This really should be required watching (yes all of it) for anyone who is having trouble with this match up.

Dunno if it belongs here… but here are a few Vega videos of mine… Nothing special just some player matches… :blush:

Thank you thank you! I will watch all of these when I get the chance!

Some sets of Wasa Beef destroying a Viper player:

  • he seriously does df.hk, lk ST, EX ST if he catches her burning kick.
  • after a EX FBA he whiffs a cr.mp, then somehow “safejumps” with j.hp.
  • after an airthrow, he whiffs cr.mk, then safejumps with j.hp. This one seems to work well against reversal thunder knuckle.
  • after any backthrow, he safejumps with j.mp/j.mk.
  • the Viper player just can’t get in on him like, at all. He airthrows and nj.fierce’s the shit out of him.
  • it looks like he can autocorrect EX ST.

Also, what I noticed after rewatching a video of Cat-k: He ducks under EX-Tatsu with a c.mp.

Interesting vids! Thanks for the links. That Vega used some stuff I’d like to try and integrate into my game, but at the same time my instincts of reaction would have punished Blanka better at times. It gives me real motivation to keep enhancing Vega as my main when I see so many different ways to use him :smiley: [edit: that Viper video wouldn’t load for me, kind of like that first video vs Blanka]

In any case, I’m recording my G1 finals from here on.

This match had a ton of gimmicks and dumb moves on my part, especially at the end. However, One really important thing to see is at 1:19 when Blanka does an ultra that crosses me up. Block this one backwards, kids! You can also get crossed up like this if you wakeup into the ground portion of Blanka’s ultra as it travels behind you.

This was a very good Rose! If you run into xSoSickNASHFANx on xboxlive, play this man! I’m not super-well-versed in this matchup, but I know that Rose WILL eat you up if you carelessly try to poke her out of her attack strings. Should have blocked more.

A mirror match with an equally-ranked Vega in the finals!

Haha, what a great claw, totally neutralizing one of claws worst matchups. Really good games.

Here is me against a Japanese player here in Tokyo. I get a little nervous at first, so bare with me lol. I try implementing Kara Throws and Izuna Grabs (on Sagat) as much as possible.

I could swear there is a pretty complete FAQ to registering and logging in, in one of the threads.

Me neither. It’s frustrating because I know some of those videos are amazing.
