I too do not enjoy his play. But I think we should give kindevu the benefit of the doubt. He just started Cammy so you really can’t expect him to use optimal combos and set-ups right away. If he is still playing like this say, 6 months down the road, then maybe we can criticize here and there. Still, every player has the right to play how they want to so we really can’t demand anything from him nor others as a matter of fact.
Mago is asked who he thinks is the top characters are in the game.
Top
Cammy, Fei Long, Ryu, Seth, Adon (they are very strong)
Upper
Ibuki, Akuma, Ken, Sakura, Makoto, Rufus (they are very solid)
Close
Yun, Yang, C. Viper, Abel, Sagat (they are strong, but not very)
let the salt begin
I’d love to know what Mago knows about C. Viper that I don’t. ):
Mago’s tier list is influenced too much by player dependency and his own bad match ups IMO. I’ve been following his tier list since the beginning.
Looking at the list.
Ibuki=Sako,
Sakura=Uryo,
Makoto=Haitani,
Ryu=Daigo
Seth=Poongko/Kazunoko
Akuma=Tokido
Fei=Fuudo/Himself
He rated Ibuki as C rank in AE and Seth not even top 10 . Now, after playing Sako,Poongko and Kazunoko, Ibuki and Seth is upper. Adon is up there because Mago rates Adon as a tough match up for Fei. Ryu is up there because of Daigo. The only thing new up there is Rufus and Abel.
Vortex vs Vortex
Wakeup ultra ftw. Head hitting at the very peak jump strike is some high level that is beyond my amateurish understanding…
But overall His performance was much better then before… Much much better then the online round.
Sigh @ tokido with those mean corner fake cross up setups. It’s basically 50/50 after bnb sweep. Jump mk is cross up? Jump hk is fake cross up, this I know for sure.
I wonder why he didn’t go for u2. Underestimating kindevus os ability?? Lolololol.
Is there a reason to stand block vs daemon flip on wakeup anymore.? Palm is not overhead.
Only thing I can think of is that at some setups demon flip dive crossup when you try to crouch block and doesnt on stand block, but I guess people are just too used to stand block and didn’t adjusted yet, who knows.
Now I know why Tokido did so poorly in the competition. He can’t see!
PS: TY Teyah for the vids!
As far as I know daemon flip dive whiffs crouching cammy. Do you know the setup. .??? Its good to be aware of such setups… I will test it… Maybe i will ask in the akuma forums too…
As of now I just crouch block when I hear akuma “grunt” for the flip. Thats why it’s advised also to spike from crouch position if ur going for spike during wakeup…
I don’t know if there’s an easy perfect setup for this, I just got hit by those crossups randomly sometimes when trying to crouch block, but by the few times it happened I’m not sure id they did that on purpose, I’m gonna test that too and see.
Edit: Oh, yeah, I could be using some other characters too, so it can be that only works on some characters and on Cammy doesn’t.
I hope you upload the Momochi vs Tokido, Momochi vs Mago, and Mago vs Daigo matches lols
