Pre-AE Sakura Video Critique/Exhibit

Really need to go to sleep so I’m just going to point out a few things. Vs Blanka, low jab will beat out any type of beast balls, seemed like you had a little bit of trouble with that. Blocked rainbow roll can be punished with low forward -> fierce SRK; you’ll get a bit more damage out of it than just standing roundhouse.

Other than that it looked like you didn’t really capitalized on the EX tetsu mix ups. GG’s overall, hope to see more vids soon.

Agreed :slight_smile:

I saw an EX Shunpuu where you ended with a Hadouken x_x? And another where you did nothing at all.

I’d also advise not using EX Shunpuu > Otoshi after a dizzy, doing a HP Shou usually gets around the same damage but you could EX Shunpuu and go straight into reset mix-up fun.

If he’s anything like me then an EX shunpuu with no follow up is probably a rushed dash done too early so it doesn’t come out. :sweat:

Yeah, When i did the hadouken was suppose to be small shouken, to fierce shouken (4 hits) I know it doesnt do as much damage as sakura otoshi, or is grounds for a cross up like jump lk, or jumping fierce punch, or standling lp then dash across them but, eh, like I said Id been up 48 hours.

Thanks for the Advice after the dizzy, I just normally go for that since its my bnb.

And as RadarTrap said, I dashed too early, and sat there lol, why you see the random standing roundhouse haha.

You know a Heavy Shou after EX Shunpuu does more damage than a Light to Medium, you can even do a Light to Heavy with the right timing but they all fall short of Otoshi damage :stuck_out_tongue:

Freshly woken up haha, and decide to play some more. As always feedback is appreciated.

Sakura VS Vega (Mal4lk), Zangief(Shibisuke), Ken(Carlutus), Fei Long (Farmer06)

Sakura VS Ryu(DKTemplar84)

That Zangief and Ken were terrible :stuck_out_tongue: Zangief didn’t seem to know how to dash out of Focus Attacks, missed FAs are easily punishable you should be running up and Heavy Shou’ing that shit at least.

If they like to use FAs a lot, like constantly charging and canceling then start throwing Shunpuus at them to break it. Make sure you do it from the right distance though.

Also FA3 that makes them go spinning you can cath with a Heavy Shou, not sure if FA2 spin has normal hit properties or even juggle properties.

that gief almost had 8000 points
funny guy

what’s up with those people not liking to block low
in zangief’s case, blocking at all

Yeah, G2 is eh =( I wish I could find a way to record G1 matches on PS3, but I would either A have to buy a camcorder or, borrow my sisters, and shes a bitch when it comes to borrowing stuff, not to mention I have to drive to my parents place to get it, thats just all sorts of headache lol. Trying to get to G1 on the PC version asap so I can get some better vids against better players.

Welcome to G2 I guess haha. G1 has its players as well, but the general quality of players in G1 is overall better then G2.

what program are oyu using to record your matches on PC?

i know, i’m in g1 as well

Fraps, pretty good, but make sure you have the space, i play SFIV at 1440x900 and the files for a 2 min match are about 4 gigs. =O

WHO IS ZACK_AUSTIN NITSUA. . . .

but no really who is this guy apparenty he put out a sakura combo video.
and he like does all this weird stuff. anyone care to explain why.
well incase your wondering here it is. [media=youtube]RvLgZ4Y2Z0U[/media]

Just don’t make him mad or he’ll do thiz comboz on u 102% of da timez. den, demon u :rofl:

All I know is the guy I can’t yet beat, Obey562, says he can’t yet beat Zack… apparently he’s pretty awesome.

here’s my first two matches from West Coast Warzone. I’m a bit disappointed because i was missing links all day! I guess my setup has input lag compared to these monitors, so I just couldnt do anything right :frowning:

nice vids, but you did miss alot of links in your matches against honda, still watching the rest haha, but on a serious note, any good advice playing against blanka ball spam?

c.LP (and probably s.LP too) spam beats horizontal balls, if you’re unlucky it will trade and unluckier still just plain lose to them :frowning:

Other thing is to jump away and try to predict where they’ll stop and come down on them with jumping attacks but they don’t have any real recovery so could end up eating something nasty as you come down anyways :frowning:

Basically you just cry deeply :’(

i couldn’t get used to the monitors either
good job though yesterday!!
nice seeing you again
