Please stop mentioning American Vipers flame shield… We got some ok Vipers but… nobody even comes close to Dashio(God-tier feints/mixups and almost 100% execution rate with Instant SJC BK and Istant regular jump BK) and Uryo(Clutch as fuck, EX Seismo SJC FADC Ultra/ cr.HK pioneer…etc…) Watch those guys matches against leet Comp and you’ll see why Viper is hard to use in certain aspects
I lol’ed.
I’m sorry but that was just filthy.
Which one you still have trouble with?
That was sexy but I raise you this (note this is Grand Finals)

Yeah Uryo is a dirty Viper player. But Sanford’s Viper in that video was just disgusting man who the hell does an ex seismo feint so they dont get hit by an attack. Seriously… He’s just a beast.
LOL. Japanese players occasionally EX seismo feint for that purpose. I don’t do it much lately cuz it’s really hard to put it in a spot where it will work to your advantage. Mash jab or reaction shoryu beats that shit free. Sanford’s good at remembering to use shit like that I guess. It’s not bad for beating cross ups either. The craziest thing Sanford did in that video was unleash a FULLY CHARGED focus attack while Andre’s Dic was jumping in on him. I can’t even see the logic in that and further I can’t even see how he got that to hit. I mean Viper’s focus is slow and to hit someone with a fully charged focus is basically taunting them. She does a whole Michael Jackson spin before it even hits you.
c viper is considered hard to use because of her limited options. On top of having to rely on heavy technical skill, she has very limited options and thats why people really consider her hard to use.
heres to hoping she is really strong in super sf4 
Like she already isn’t.
She’s strong kind of in a similar sense that Gouken is strong. Strong but lacking in things that are important to being top tier in Super. Mainly strong footsies and reversal options. A character that’s easily locked down or is slow in mid ranged footsies is pretty much auto loss for top tier or even high mid. Of course when she lands hard attacks on you she gets free huge damage though setting up that damage isn’t even easy at all when only your slow hard normals set up that damage and your specials are 20+frames start up.
Hard Trials 2-5. I understand what I have to do for 2, I just lack the execution power to complete it.
FA, dash, cr.HP… then I cancel into HP thunder knuckle (since the HP cancel has the shortest recovery, or at least it looks like it does), then move your joystick HCF and hit three punch buttons, then do another QCF and hit three punch buttons again. The part I have trouble with is the HCF movement and the initial three-punch cancel. Either the game doesn’t register my cancel fast enough and gives me an EX TK cancel (since I am hitting the buttons in quick succession), or I can only get my joystick as far as Down before the cancel happens and I don’t have enough time to do the Ultra (comes out late).
I watch Viper players and am totally amazed because I just don’t think I could move my hands that fast with such confidence that I won’t screw up.
