Pre-AE Sakura Video Critique/Exhibit

zack_austin · April 29, 2009, 2:14pm

once i upload my videos i’ll be able to tell you guys how i do it.

but sometimes i do the s. lp and dash under, cr. lk blah blah tatsu

but there are certain times i’ll do jumping short towards them in the air after ex tatsu, and if i’ve already got them with it once, when i land i walk a little bit backwards so i’m back where i was so they block the wrong way

works about 90% of the time if they know what’s going on

aside from the aforementioned use of risky moves on a blind stuff, one big thing i noticed: you guys jump… a lot. and very rarely did i see any kind of aa. make it a habit of spacing in the proper range so you can always c.fp to aa. try to avoid jumping in so much.

There is one of me taking like a 46k cp point against a sagat by missing all my combos and jumping way too much. It amuses me, but is in no way a good example of sakura play. Either way, its on my friends account as pissbowlin on xbl.

I like the way you cross over their body with tatsu on a knockdown, and then neutral jump them for a combo.

Howd you get so good at linking the jabs->tatsu combo? Im jealous.

jdm714 · April 30, 2009, 9:17am

Good plays obey562.

Man, I want to try playing you.
But I have XBox 360.

I do live in Southern California though. :lovin:
Maybe get together?

obey562 · April 30, 2009, 9:50am

thanks man. usually before i start a session of ranked games, ill go into training mode and practice some of her different links. Mostly: c.lk > c.lp > c.hp > ex tatsu, c.lk > c.lp > c.mp > hadouken, and c.lk > c.lp > c.mk > shooken. the timing on all of these links are relatively the same, just practice practice practice

lol, sure maybe we can meet up some day

System_1 · April 30, 2009, 10:42am

shytzoo · April 30, 2009, 5:29pm

go get a Ps3… hahaha obey is fun as hell to play

System_1 · April 30, 2009, 6:28pm

Nice matches, obey! I see you like to go for a throw after blocked ex tatsu; personally I like going for the c.mk with possible combo into heavy sho, but whatever works for ya. One thing I would say is against Akuma, if you’re close enough you can use heavy sho to dash under an air fireball and just barely hit Akuma out of the air. I don’t know if you know about that, but you might want to try it out - you get surprisingly good range on it.

obey562 · April 30, 2009, 10:30pm

I try to mix it up after a blocked ex tatsu between a throw, c.mk, or an ex shooken. But a throw is a bad habit of mine so that usually comes out :rolleyes:

I dont have much experience with the range of heavy sho against akuma so i use it sparingly. I remember i did it before and thought it was a good idea. I guess thats what i’ll have to practice next thanks

maeda · May 2, 2009, 7:06am

Man you know that guy too? I hate him, he’s always messing my shit up.

shytzoo · May 2, 2009, 8:45am

i know! right? when him and mr. johnnie walker get together with me, i travel to new dimensions and kick it with marty and Doc

System_1 · May 2, 2009, 11:20am

constructive critism is greatly appreciated. thank you

jdm714 · May 2, 2009, 12:37pm

reelsmartkid, the Akuma Player is the guy below you, zack_austin.
Laugh.

Are you two on each other’s Friends List?

System_1 · May 2, 2009, 8:52pm

reelsmart: 2 basic things I would say are stop jumping so much, and work on blocking/AAing jump-ins better.

zack: Nice! If there’s any critiquing to be done here, I certainly don’t know what it is.

maeda · May 3, 2009, 12:41am

beautiful 3rd round.

I’m noticing you go for the EX tatsu right after a
cr LK - > cr LP -> cr FP -> ex…

Any reason why you don’t tack on another LK tatsu? Consistency?

jdm714 · May 3, 2009, 1:46am

That was really good zack_austin.

I was bLuEpOoPiE who added you to Friend’s List.
Now I’m afraid to play you.
Laugh.

Rabbit2k7 · May 3, 2009, 2:40am

Zack do you play on PS3 or 360?
