USF4 Ibuki footage played by Rockpon
A lot of Ibuki’s stuff whiff on Elena when she’s crouching.

Even her bonsho kick. And I thought they fixed TC4 on crouching?
It looks weird when she does a neckbreaker… You literally can’t do anything except reset the situation. And the trajectory of the kunai looks even odder. I can’t put my finger on it, but I feel like some of her pressuring just doesn’t make any sense anymore. Like, if you neck breaker in the corner, you still lose that momentum (lose-lose situation) Unless IIRC in the corner, she can still move out at the same time because of the smaller spacing in that corner. Maybe I’m just having a harder time understanding her meta in Ultra lol.
Her mix-ups other then neckbreaker was the secondary tool to do safe pressure. But now it’s like playing with fire with her.
I really do how they fix that Elena crouching thing, because that’s just bull shit. lol.
This Ibuki reminded me of sfxt Ibuki. In high level play it wont change that much to be honest, except no votrex which is still very very bad. I don’t know… I’m willing to say Ibuki will now be low tier at best. I think Combofiend saw some sonyono videos and thought that all Ibukis should play like that even though it won’t work a single time on opponents who know anything about Ibuki.
The buff to the tsumujis was simply to make Ibuki more like Ryu. Its pretty much what they did to all the characters. Make them more like Ryu. Except Ken, because the fans wanted it so.
Where can I find some USF4 Ibuki footage other than Shimauta destroying Kyoto competition?
try karinsf4 on youtube. there’s a few vids of ex pugera playing.
Intentional whiff of her hk stomp to get close enough to launch Ultra1.
Her potential Red Focus combos. She only need 1 confirmed mixup after the red focus combo to get a stun lol.
I completely forgot about what you were trying to show off once i saw that double loop on Dudley.
Spoiler
That made me moist.
I think I should post this here…I guess?
ultra street fighter 4 improved edition coming soon.
The buff on OH seems to have made it able to cross up somehow. I did it by accident at my local arcade on a Gen player last night. I did a late OH on his wakeup, and I think he was cr. teching, I landed on the other side and scored a CH. I don’t have a video of it but I can try to get it up on YT sometime soon. Or someone here can test and confirm.
At least, I hope this is new and I’m not running off half-cocked about something old.
Yeah OH crossing up has been known. I did it when I played PR Rog some time ago when Balrog woke up with stand tech… yes stand tech. Everyone watching in the back, me and Rog was like WTF.
Oh that’s cool then. Is there anyway to add this to the (slightly gimmicky) arsenal or is it too situational to really have any application?
So far no, and I don’t have the game to test. From what I’ve seen and experienced, OH crossed up when someone is caught stand or crouch teching which makes it crossing up or not don’t matter as they can’t block anyway.
I’m seriously dying to find some top ibuki player matches in ultra to learn some new tech. Has anyone found one that isn’t from the older versions, or is that the only one available?
Japanese players are not going to be playing on XBL like they did in Super, and the other top US players either stopped playing Ibuki of USF4 all together. There are some French Ibuki’s still playing and local tournaments are running in Europe, so you would have to wait. From what I have heard though, no one is using any new tech.
For the most part there isn’t really any new tech besides how to cover all DWU options, and we already have all of it noted.
At SEAM2014 there were at least 2 Ibuki players featured on stream.
Yep, one of the Ibuki’s was VC, and was a runback from the year prior.
For those who haven’t caught it yet:
SEA 2014 - Tokido (Akuma) vs VC (Ibuki) - USF4:
I can’t say I blame VC for his play, it is after all the Murder Face. I was hoping for some newer tech though (BP Kara’s in the neutral are too good to not be spammed), and some old tech too, given the matchup (reaction neckbreakers to Tokido’s teleports would have kept this match more manageable, for example).
This couple of matches includes the one game I lose out of 7, but whatever haha.
Why didn’t you use neckbreaker for most of the combos ?
