Wasn’t really looking for criticism, but I very much appreciate that you guys wanted to.
I watched these videos kind of late. Couple of questions:
- Why didn’t ever go for full TC4?
- Why didn’t you SJC U2 when it could have ended certain rounds?
Also, badly spaced CU’s are punishable. No need to let Cody get away with it.
1.I’ll be honest, I have no fucking idea!!
2.I usually only combo into ultra to end matches not rounds. Like in one of those videos, I go for a reset after a crumple where I probably could have killed him instead. I wasn’t trying to style on him or nothing, that little string built me a full bar of meter
-those weren’t badly spaced I tried to punish numerous times and I couldn’t.
Game 3 @ 1:46
I always punish with st. mk and as you can see it got blocked…what do you punish with??
Same thing. I didn’t notice you doing st.MK. I guess your timing was just off then.
For anyone that hasn’t already seen: Sako beasting with Ibuki for ~90m starts at the 23m mark: http://www.justin.tv/leveluplive/b/287675572
Not sure if it was posted yet, but I found the match between the epic Sako’s Ibuki vs ClakeyD’s Ibuki in the ReveLAtions tourny.
Those matches are so messy.
Couple things I noticed:
- Dash up accidental kazegiri by Sako. Free 25% for Clakey.
- Sako loses first round in an unfortunate accident where he uses neutral jump kunai to punish Clakey’s obvious kunai jumpin, only to have the kunais trade and giving Clakey the round.
- Sako uses f+LK to punish slide spam from Clakey. At one point it seems he tries to f+LK xx SJC U2 for epic punish but accidentally got EX kazegiri.
Clakey’s Ibuki is goddamn random. Dash here, slide here, random neckbreaker there, jump around kunai. I am still not sure how he’s getting away with any of that shit.
There wasn’t even one clean round. Sako even messed up TC10 xx Kunai and got a Neckbreaker instead. I counted at least 3-times where Sakonoko went for a Tsumuji loop that would have never worked on Ibuki. Missing cr.LK, st.MK too? At 5:13 he drops even a kara-throw.
This is why I don’t think many execution heavy combs are worth while, but Sakonoko’s execution was very sloppy, almost as if he hasn’t slept.
@Mingo, actually I think he meant to do a f+LK xx EX Tsumuji.
For ClakeyD though, I wish he’d have done st.LP instead to catch those backdashes, cr.LP will always miss on Ibuki’s backdash. I loved the EX Tsumuji being a low-hit on the second tick. Would have been cool if he didn’t miss the SJC Hashinsho at the end either.
So, so messy. lol
Yeah those matches were full of execution fail.
For sure he was going for LK into SJC U2. Goddamn I almost shit myself when I saw that.
Some funny things I just found out today. Sorry if everyone already knew.
You can combo Ibuki’s super into her ultra 2 for 691 damage with TC4 and 651 damage with the lk TC. After a FA lvl 3, Its also possible to combo into the overhead x st mp x st mk x tsumiji loop x finisher for like 470 damage.
sako vs strider, really good match!
it was unfortunate that he got knocked out so early in the tourny. atleast he made up for it in the money matches lol.
In this video at 28:00 Sako does ex tsumiji in the corner and does what looks like a command dash into raida. How is that possible?
You can cancel LK command dash into specials if fast enough, I do it with neck breaker. Doesn’t really add a whole lot of range, I just like the sound it makes lol.
Actually you can cancel any command dash into Raida but the range doesn’t change.
What frame do you have to cancel command dash for it to work? If its possible to cancel CD into any special and if its at an early enough frame then wouldn’t it be possible to slightly extend tsumiji loops with CD cancel into lk tsumiji to get a little closer?
Also I have been trying for a while and I can’t seem to cancel the CD into anything. Are there any tricks to it, or is it just impossible to do it on pad?
I haven’t played on since Super launched so I can’t tell you, I’m sure it’s easy though considering everything else she does is cake on pad. I’m gonna load up training mode right now and see if she can cancel into something else, prolly not worth it though considering the startup of the dash.
By the way, the way I input it is I first do the QCF for the dash, then do the half circle back for the Raida. Then I P-Link LK to LP.
Dash comes out regardless of you inputting the QCB for the swipe kicks. If you press two kicks you get ex swipes.
Looks like you get a little more than double the distance with Command Dash ~ Raida over Kara-Raida.
I see. For some reason I can’t do it. I am pressing the QCF for the dash and then the half circle for raida and I just can’t get it to cancel. I am doing it as fast as I can. Maybe I should try the P-link.
