In the Ken match the main number one thing u did wrong was not comboing into neck breaker or MK tsumuji with the sweep ender. If every combo you do doesn’t put the opponent in an untechable knockdown situation (they can’t immediately get back up) you are doing the wrong combo. It takes a little bit of ingenuity to close the gap on your opponent with Ibuki without getting hit a few times and u definitely don’t want to lose the momentum u built up to get in by using some 150 damage combo that pushes them away from u and allows them to immediately get back up on their feet. That basically defeats the purpose of playing Ibuki. Combo into HP neck breaker or MK tsumuji with the sweep ender everytime. If u ain’t doing one of those 2 things then that’s because they were standing and you are busting them with one of her high damage LK tsumuji links. If they are crouching just slam them with HP neck break or MK tsumuji sweep.
The other things I saw u do were too much of a reliance on just naked neck breakers (especially the EX ones) just thrown out on the screen to see if they hit. Like if you knew he was going to charge focus or throw a fireball maybe. Though when he’s just standing there walking back and forth he’s baiting you. Just chill out and walk forward at him and see what he does. You also don’t use enough s.LP or c.LP at all. Those 2 buttons are some of your main pressure tools at close range and without those it’s like playing Rog without jabs. Actually it’s probably even worse than that. LOL. Try not to use focus attack much unless u absolutely know what they are going to do. Ibuki’s focus attack isn’t Guy or Cody status to just be throwing out there and praying. I would only use it to break up patterns.
as for aa into mix up.
you can do back mp, command dash, close rh, command dash, crouch fp, into whatever as well.
also another one you can get pretty often is when people try to jump close to you to try to cross you up (also just vs certain jump ins) you can just anti air with close rh, then do a second close rh and sjc rh command dash into cr.fp into whatever. (or just do close rh, close rh, rh kazagiri for like 220ish damage if you don’t need a mix up)
Hm i see thanks for the info
Time to work on those points:
=>end every combo with hp neckbreaker or mk tsumuji into sweep
=>no more naked neckbreakers
=>more pressure with cr lp & s lp
=>less focus attack
Alright so I’m going to start doing some recordings of my matches on Xbox Live for people to view and see how I fight people. I’m recording via my shitty G1 phone camera so the video quality isn’t too great but it’s there to watch and u can make out enough of what’s going on.
I just put out my first fight of myself vs. a Honda player so that should help those that are having trouble fighting him. The jist is just to play lame as hell. The first round I was just messing around with him cuz I knew he wasn’t gonna be that scary of a player. Just testing ranges for s.LP and trying to use f+HK on anticipation to headbutts. Then after that just got lame on him until I got a knockdown and went wild.
Thanks. Pretty much adding more stuff as we speak. Got one up of me vs. a Guile. I just kinda went random on him cuz there was some delay and I knew it didn’t really matter what I did as long as I knocked him down.
I have a question devil jin, since I really cant make out much in your videos sorry. When you do the vortex from neckbreaker what are you doing differently so that they have to guess which direction to block. It appeared that you always just went behind them all the time, or are you hitting the kunai (with you in front) but landing behind them sometimes? Do you always jump after neckbreaker or are you using SJ sometimes? I really can’t make out what you are doing due to video quality.
Well if you have Xbox Live u can just view my profile to see my videos in much better quality. LOL.
Other than that I just time my super jumps so that I’m always either just slightly to the left or right of the center of their body by the time the kunai is about to hit them. I throw my super jump kunais in a way that by the time it is going to hit them I am almost in the center of them. Which makes it really difficult to see where to block correctly. From what I’ve heard the opponent has to block me the same way they have to block Dhalsim when he teleport mix ups on wake up. So with that in mind I always time my kunais so by the time the kunai is hitting them I am almost dead center in the air at the highest point of my jump before I start coming down. I delay the timing slightly so sometimes I end up coming down to the other side just before the kunai hits them or doing it so I’m still on the original side I was coming from.
Sometimes i use a really early super jump kunai to mix up with (where Ibuki barely leaves the ground) but most of the time I go for the high super jump.
On both of those options though using the high super jump, do you end up on the other side of your opponent, but able to hit them on both sides, as in they would have to guess which way to block and you always end up on the other side of your opponent? And you only do it using a SJ? I hope I am making sense. What are the pros and cons to using a SJ as opposed to a normal jump on wakeup?
only saw the rufus match, and i got the feeling that you give up space a little bit too quickly. a lot of jumps back in unnecessary situation etc, you let rufus drive you to the corner for free, which is never a good thing.

yes deviljin, how do you view matches on xbox live by player? I didnt think you could do this. That would be really useful but i dont think this is possible unless your a friend of the person.
