PRE-COOPERATION CUP and COOPERATION CUP 2016. Tokyo, Japan. January 9-10

Classic Fighting Games Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
41

This event is looking so incredible. Last year was amazing, and this year even more of the great players turned out.

My personal favorite has to be the namijin, tm and so on . I really hope to see them do well.

As far as just sheer team strength there are too many strong teams to name any real favorite. Haiatani’s team, nukis’s, kuni’s, ko’s , mov’s, mimora’s all ridiculous and I could see any of these or several others making the finals. Not trying to ramble just so excited to see so many strong players playing my favorite game.

I can make no more excuses and waste time. I don’t want to take these things for granted I really have to make next year. Have fun, and best of luck to all!

Of course I see this right afterwards. I could not agree more.

Sorry meant to edit previous post and perhaps due to mobile, me being an idiot, or some combination of the two I can’t seem to locate a delete function.

Milky Boys are the favorites to win it all

Some stats about Coop Cup. Narrated by TheShend

45

They said Ryu, Alex, Remy have never won a coop cup but I recall this back in 2009

unless there’s a difference between ranking and the actual.

46

thank’s for reminding me what a brilliant psycho vanao is.
wakeup fucking low fierce xx tatsu. SURE!

47

Win or lose he seems to stick with his stuff man. Like his style or not you gotta give him that atleast.

48

A lot of people have made fun of me in the past for doing that. In actuality it is a brilliant strategy particularly for Denjin Ryu. I believe Kuroda was the first to implement this in 2007.

The idea behind this is that it complements Denjin perfectly.
a) One opening = 40% stun so ANY 3-hit Denjin will stun.
b) One opening builds 40% bar.
c) Easy Potential of 80% damage
d) Ryus cr.HP is FAST. Only 5 frame startup.
e) On block, HK tatsu may whiff if they block crouching so you have a safety net
f) If all else fails, your risk vs reward is essentially gambling 80% damage vs. i.e Yun with no meter (15%)
g) At a higher level, most players delay attacks which makes cr. HP more effective.

It begs the question why DP?
DP = less stun, less damage, less meter, no safety net = more YOLO.

49

Jeez, so much thought goes into the craziness.

50

Ive sometimes wondered if vanao actually takes all this into account in his head or is he just one of those instinctual players that does this shit because it works. I only wonder because he gets so totally and absolutely dismantled at times by people who know whats up with his trickery.

51

Yeah that’s what seems apparent. He’s going for meter, stun and then damage. Since denjin is such a tiny bar you only need to land a few things and even a blocked fierce/roundhouse/tatsu is considerable meter. I’m surprised he doesn’t go for close fierce more. super quick (4?), big damage/stun, great priority, cancels, etc.

From what I have heard, vanao is very knowledgeable so i’ve always assumed it’s calculated mayhem. I just like seeing it work because it means the game is so wide open things which seem stupid can be smart.

52

I’m pretty sure he’s an old cvs2 player or something. There’s little chance I’d beat him, I’m pretty ass.

I think my new name will be ASSU.
