The ST match vids + discussion thread

It looks like Otochun, Aniken, Kikai, Teppei, MAO, Tsuji, Gunze, Mori, etc were at this Kouhatsu tournament. I don’t know jack shit of Japanese, but it looked like only one cab got streamed.

Not really, they force you to play perfectly, be it for reversals or not letting the opponent start the loop.

Mysterious Fighter combo can be done against standing Balrog (without the crossup of course).

Team battle at Nakano Royal, all sixteen characters in each side. Hanashi does a trap on Honda I’ve never seen before: crossup MK, [MP xx HK chicken wings] .n

I respect Ohnuki even more for that statement, because technically, he’s right (even though I have vids of him playing Z2 nationals way back, but clearly not back enough).

Don’t like throws? Stop playing SFII now.

A lot of things in ST can be tweaked. I agree that chun mp throw damage is slightly overpowered especially for the kill (no scaling, can even kill gief with 15-20% left sometimes). So is boxer’s grab (too many hits).

I consider boxer’s grab more broken since 1. you can tech chun’s (it’s not bad if you are fast) and she’s in a bad spot after a tech throw. 2. charge characters can’t shake out of the grab without losing charge 3. boxer has a lot more setups and grab can be repeated with or without walking under.

And I don’t think that throw loop is cheap. One of the biggest turn off for me in SF4 is the tech throw. When someone gets close, something should happen.

In ST you have throw bait -> punish, tech throw 1/2 damage, throw attempt getting reversal dp, reversal throw, meaty to punish failed reversal, etc etc.

Old characters not able to tech throw is a bug but then I don’t think o ryu o ken o sagat need that. They are the best zoners in the game with the most damaging or invincible reversals + no charge required. You deserve it if you got yourself in that situation with those 3 characters. As for the other o characters, oh well they are among the lowest tiers for many reasons and this is one of them :slight_smile:

not an ST vid per say. But i just discovered this on youtube. Probably from arcade relief considering uploaded dec 15th…
I absolutely love hearing/reading about SF history.

“The first crossup”

Tomo had a lot of interesting stories that day. Hopefully the matches that he played against Jeff were recorded as well. But he had some good stories. So glad to have to met these OGs in person.

Do yourself a favor and watch this

That shit was as hype as SBO finals or something lol, I was at the edge of my seat all the time. Congrats to Kyouya for taking it in a tough matchup against another great player.

thanx for posting mexican ST, djfrijoles. why did they use turbo 1?

A few matches from the last 2 WNF tournaments we had. I have most of the footage from the rest of the tournaments put in playlists in my channel, but here are some matches I enjoyed watching:

has Millertime always used claw Eugene ? iam honestly afraid to see her get good w/ him,
i still have flashbacks of her honda @ the 25th anni tournament
shudders, gets heebeegeebees, runs for life

Nope, she just started playing Claw for the first time ever like…a week ago, lol. I taught her a few basics, and she’s starting to get the hang of it, but she’s not used to a character who can hit so many buttons and not die because of it.

She got tired of losing to shotos and decided she needs an alternate character for her bad matchups. I’d say Honda/Claw is a pretty decent team to take into tournaments.

so when she starts assassinating ppl @ the tournies bc of this team(honda/claw) ,
its safe for me to call her Kusumaodo right ?

LOL. We’ve just started calling her Tao recently (Tania+MAO if you couldn’t figure that one out), but I kind of like the ring to KusuMAOdo.

I’m sure Kuroppi is crying at this news. He finally found someone who also shares the pain of playing Honda, and now she’s turned to the dark side.

I like to call her THA MUTHAFUCKIN O.G. HYNA LOCA MILLER TIME. ( -1 point for turning to the dark side though )

Is this turbito vs. hydlide?

Hey eltrouble, does Millertime frequent GGPO? I’d like to get some matches just for kicks.
