Pre-AE Sakura Video Critique/Exhibit

after a few weeks of “just a few matches today…” cause i have real stress atm->my first g1 final match won:

[media=youtube]VPPzt-SfkwA[/media]

i like this match alot,cause the gief was not bad and for sakura is gief f*ckin hard

plz watch,rate and feel free to comment…oh,and enjoy :slight_smile:

edit:damn youtube…they deleted the audio…it was “dusti springfield-son of a preacher man” just for info

Youtube jumped straight into action and disabled the audio >.>

HP Shou at the start, you were very lucky that wasn’t blocked as would have led to a world of hurt. Kinda lucky he wasn’t hitting the traded jump-ins with an EX Banishing Flat either, got away with that blocked Ultra too. If you’re going to do the neutral jump after reset you might as well use j.HK to reset for more damage, seemed to work well against that Zangief.

gief wants to come near in 70% + i know this gief…so this shouken was less riksky,then it seems :wink:
the ultra was just stupid…and he was stupid->no punish for me…nvm…not my best match…but nice to see imo

at 1:10 you could have finished with a mp shoryu + chip hado on wake up

hado + mp shouryu works really well against gief from distances, his jumps are so slow.

i can’t tell with that resolution how much hp he had left, but i would have gone directly for chip dmg i think. lk tatsu or mp shou

crossing up with lk is ok, but i don’t know, if jump forward with lk is it really that good idea to the front ?
you traded it so much. mk at least would have given you 70dmg instead of 30dmg each time, and only has one frame higher startup
plus better blockstun. even on hit lk is pretty tight to combo, cause he is so big.

second round is fine.

doesnt matter…a NON mashed good timed lariat beats ALL…i was trying to lead into combo…this is the only chance…sometimes stay away and then mass pressure

could have followed i think with a lk shunpu,s.lk xx ex shunpu instead of hk tatsu after cr.hp 0:35

His stuncount would have been at 995 if you finished that one then with 3*otoshi,
another mixup attempt would have gotten him dizzy if he fall for it.

amigdala I love what you did after the dizzy! And the hair made her look really nice at the start of the fight!
I have music on a video with audio from WMG. They haven’t removed mine though, they just put some ads. Here is the video: [media=youtube]EHmhffmb-jE[/media]

I have a new video too:

[media=youtube]3oRgGBBGxMM][color=orange]XBOX Tournament 1 - Libran Lore(Mr. Flowers) vs URKELBOT[/color[/media]

On youtube the recommended resolution is 1280 x 720. But I’m getting best looking results from NTSE wide screen format 720 x 486. I have a distribution Amplifier on its way (missed the delivery yesterday). Not sure how much better the raw recording will be if at all. I’m also getting fewer frames dropped when I have no other program running. If I don’t de-interlace the video while recording I get no frame loss at all!

That would improve the video quality a lot. Hopefully by this Friday, I can get some of my Sakura videos up, I need to get some critique for my Sak.

Nice vids

I just hit G1 a few days ago … heres some of my G1 matches

My sakura vs a 50k Ryu in at the finals in champ mode

dope sakura man!!!

u did well with being patient on the fireballs in the first round, u didnt jump forward which was really good. in the second round u seemed to get impatient when u were in the corner and u started to jump forward and he punished, then he figured out that he should bait the tatsu’s. but gg man always fun to see a good sakura

i today played against him, too and won easily.

Yeah he didn’t seem that good, you could tell how much he was fishing for that SRK FADC Ultra in the last round (including the botched attempt) :rofl:

(Don’t mean to take anything away from your victory, good job :tup:)

Got a special treat for you guys, teehee :bgrin: I’ve been recording replays for a buddy over in the Dan forums this past week or so and I get a message from him today saying he’s got a new one up, I take a look and it’s against a Sakura :amazed: then I see the name of his opponent and it’s our very own DeNice! :wow: :rofl:

So without further delay: DeNice (SAK) vs Xiahou Mao (DAN) -> [media=youtube]JJyFtjytnkw[/media] :tup:

If you’re wondering about the music it’s because the sound is screwed on my capture “card” :frowning: You’d recognise it if you’ve seen Sengoku Basura :tup:

Around 0:55 it looks like the LK Dankuu (Dan Knee) crossed up, did it? :rofl:

Damn decent of you to allow him to taunt uninterrupted :tup: Though you could have punished the Legendary Taunt harder at the end and you even get rewarded a counter hit for watching it :rofl:

EX Shou barrage missing at the end, trying desperately for that last bit of chip damage, I know how that feels, so frustrating :frowning:

Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute! You guys aren’t supposed to promote videos in which I look bad in; that’ll kill my rep! (lol j/k) Seriously, at the time I didn’t think much of the loss; especially since playing a Dan is SO RARE in my case and I was spending more time having fun in the fight rather than playing as hard as I should (you can tell because I let his taunts go uninterrupted and other points of showmanship.) But yeah, since I don’t fight Dan, I wasn’t used to the LK Danku shenanigans. Seems to always happen against other non-arcade characters that are also never in heavy rotation like Fei-Long and Rose; I don’t have my homework on those matchups and I always look poor in them (winging it isn’t exactly good to look at after the fact. At least I know what to look for against more abused characters)

To be honest I sorta hit it off with Xiahou immediately after the fight. GG exchange and some other things, so I’m really not bitter at being shown up. The only thing that sorta bothered me was that ALL those EX Shouokens missing… I should’ve just buckled down and blocked, but then again I’m SO prone to tick-teching nightmares sometimes…

BTW: Sugami, we should hook up sometime; it’s been a while since I had some Sak mirrors and I find it weird I haven’t done any serious hooking up with you yet.
De

Hehe I play both so I know how Xiahao played his strengths against your weaknesses, specifically the Knee on wake-up, there’s practically nothing Sakura can do about it besides block and EX Shou (which as you saw went under it as well) then blocked Knees lead to a whole load of sheDANigans and mix-ups that are mostly in his favour, especially against a character without a good reversal.

I tend to get wreckless with (EX) Shou trying to chip people to death, has lost me a few :frowning:

If you don’t mind the lag and whipping the tar out of me I’m game :slight_smile: (mics please, helps calm me :P)

yo denice i would like to play u sometime, i dont think ive had the honor yet. i would love to play u

I saw the vid an hour after Sugami uploaded it and I was shocked that you lost but I did see that you wasn’t playing at the same capacity as when you fought and beat Smallfry’s sim (which is the last vid of you I saw). Also I knew the other guy was a great Dan player. Now and again I peek at the Dan forums. Have a few friends there and I like to rock his titles and emblems.
You had a fun match and it was fun to watch. No doubt he would have cancelled legend taunt into ultra if you tried anything though!

Never trust a Dan!

good day…second g1 final today :wink:

too bad u didn’t get him in the second round.
