Saikyo-ryuu for Dummies: Dan Video Thread!

Here we go, a healthy helping of XHM Dan fresh from the oven.

XHM, kinda wish you mixed it up after those (blocked) s.HK, only doing c.MP xx Gadouken from what I’m seeing. Go for a throw, walk forward a bit and s.MP, delayed KRK FADC… mix that shit up! :rofl:

I believe Ultra “Shirt and Tie” David said he’s stopped playing Hakan to play Dan, said it here not so long again methinks. I think he should totally suit up for the next WNF he commentates at. You heard me! Consider that a challenge, dare, whatever! :rofl:

There’s a video error, it says it’s a private video, so I can’t watch it. :frowning:

I’ll get into the mixups over time. It’s brand new stuff to me, still! I’m just happy I’m remembering to try it at all, I’m still doing c.HP xx HK Danku as a punish out of habit.

Most of the people that I’ve fought and used the cl.HK against have kept blocking and not been hit by the c.MP xx Gadoken, but I’ve played some twitchy players who’ve been hit by it every time. Once I’m more comfortable with it, I’ll see about mixing in a walkup throw or a delayed Koryuken to mess them up.

Oh, just to note, I also played Krackatoa a few times on day 1. One Plus Tuque! He won every game, of course. I shall need time to adapt, and then I shall have furious, taunting vengeance!

Whoops! I must have forgot to set it to public afterwards, should be viewable now :rofl:

I tried doing s.HP xx KRK on Oni and it missed! I was like, what?! Afterwards stuck to s.MP xx HK Dankuu since it was quickest and easiest thing to do in a laggy envorinment.

This makes us like… eternal rivals now. A battle between Canada’s Best Dans.

Actually, there’s one more Canuck climbing the Dan leaderboards. This could blossom into something truly great.

An AE Dan combo vid, the player ends them with QCB+LK–>U2, though IMHO I think it’d be better to just do QCB+HK. Still a very informative vid

So, what is Dan’s best punish now? I’m having trouble getting s. HK into HP Koryu to land consistently. I know my timing’s off, but what happened–did the guys at Capcom think c. HP xx HK Danku was like too scrub friendly or something? I mean come ON…Dan needs all the help he can get. On second thought, maybe it’s me.

c.HP xx HP KRK does the same damage as s.HK > KRK but c.HP is uber slow, use c.HP only 5 less damage (and hope they’re not a character with iffy hit-boxes). Practice the link for s.HK > KRK though, it’s a 3 framer so it’s pretty easy and s.HK comes with 200 stun, which is pretty massive. Use s.MP xx KRK if you don’t have a lot of time or just a bare KRK.

The way they changed the damage on HK Dankuu (50-50-50 to 50-40-30) makes me think it was changed so we don’t get some nice damage for doing random Dankuu in footsie and catching them with the end of it. If they were purely worried about damage alone then why not change it to 40 on each hit? Seems a bit odd to me.

LHM may be only using the 360 version of his road to top tier. Concerning since he and I bumped into each other 3 times these past 2 days.
Don’t mess with his Dan, but mine too :slight_smile:
I always come close to beating him, DAN it!
OH! btw sugami I think you should also follow Krackatoa(One Plus Tuque) With his big ass knowledge in Saikyo, he REALLY deserves to be in your Replay Videos.
Please? :frowning:

So I’m guessing he wasn’t serious when he said he was gonna let his PS3 just collect dust, lol. Good to know.

Krack can record his own games, I’m pretty sure he has the gear for it :stuck_out_tongue: If not I can record them if he wants :3

I’ve never seen Krack play, but I look forward to seeing some of his replays. Be sure to post them here!

I’m nothing special. I just know everything.

Everything.

Which is more than I know, and I know everything too!

Your execution and reactions are much better than my own though.

He does not, he just uses a really good recorder recorder on the PC, which you can just find a torrent for it
Pleeeeeaase record him!!

Yeah. I don’t have the stuff to do 360 caps. I’ll be able to do my own stuff (in sweet, sweet 1080p, no less) when the PC version drops in July.

If you want to capture them for posterity, go right ahead. I’m not really a good judge of my own play though. Upload what you think is good (or bad, even!)

Fine! I will then! Actually be easier (read: keep a follower slot open) if I befriend you since I can pull friend replays from the leader board (but not the new replay channel, how ironic).

Looking forward to the sweet, sweet 1080p HD, I want to get an HD capture card but alas I don’t have the funds for it :frowning:

Yay!

Finally done with the latest tutorial, let me know what you think. I think I covered everything that needed covering.

I should mention that you need to pause it when reading the explanations since I wanted to save space on the video :stuck_out_tongue:

This is a video of me zoneing the hell out of a Turbo Dudley user.
Please comment and subscribe to Gamingslugs, I want this guy to get known!

XHM batch #2

Krack vs Mr Blandy McMashfest (since it was requested)
[media=youtube]iNEKe2cA-e4[/media]

I like how Krack adapts to the blandness in that match, got a bit unlucky in one round going for the chip but you seem to catch on to his crap. Check out his mashed out reversals too :stuck_out_tongue:
I didn’t bother with the Mexican Ibuki match, I can only imagine what the lag must have been like for that one.

XHM, I noticed you seem to mash out the KRK when linking from s.HK, heck if that’s reliable I’ll stop trying to time it properly :rofl:
Couple of nice catches with Shissou, good predictions/reads.
